Join us at Tarragon Theatre for the book launch of cockroach (曱甴) by Ho Ka Kei (Jeff Ho), published by Playwrights Canada Press. The launch will include a panel discussion with the playwright and fellow artists who helped bring this literary work to life in its premiere production at Tarragon Theatre: Mike Payette (Director, Artistic Director of Tarragon Theatre), Hanna Kiel (Choreographer), and Karl Ang (Actor).

Toronto Lit Up is a multi-year initiative, started in 2016 by the Toronto International Festival of Authors and the Toronto Arts Council, to spotlight Toronto writers and empower local artists with career-building opportunities. Between April 2016 and March 2024, Toronto Lit Up has presented over 200 events featuring over 250 Toronto authors and illustrators. Toronto Lit Up book launches take place throughout the year at venues across the city. They are open to the public and free to attend. Click here for more information.
