Lest We Forget — Lunchbox Theatre

***LEST WE FORGET***

Created by JP Thibodeau and Joe Slabe
With music and lyrics by Joe Slabe and Dan Perrott
**November 10 & 11, 2026**
This will be a concert reading* of the show we premiered in 2016.
*Lest We Forget* reflects the many aspects of war and conflict from World War I to the present day, and **tickets are free!** Not just a story about soldiers and peace keepers, *Lest We Forget* is also about the families left behind, civilians, refugees, war brides, child evacuees—in short, it’s the story of all of us who have ever been touched by armed conflict.
Based on interviews and the archival letters of those who shared their wartime experiences, the show consists of a series of original songs and monologues that make us realize that the stories of our veterans, our immigrants, and our refugees are part of our common experience as Canadians—and the story of who we aspire to be as a nation.
In collaboration with Forte Musical Theatre.

Tickets to Lest We Forget are free to the general public. We have reserved some tickets for active military and veterans. Contact our box office at boxoffice@lunchboxtheatre.com for more information.

*A concert reading is different from a full production of a musical. Rather than full staging, the performers read the script at music stands, acting and singing through the full story in a simplified presentation style
