When I was A Kid
Shane Koyczan’s “When I Was A Kid” encapsulates the fervent and curious nature of childhood with his spoken word multimedia production. An excerpt of the performance was staged at the 2010 Winter Olympics and the show comes back in its entirety at the Historic Theatre at The Cultch. Shane talks about being bullied as a kid, as well as his childhood dream of being a pro wrestler.
