Dialogues for the Vaccine Hesitant... and those who love them

Dialogues for the Vaccine Hesitant and Those Who Love Them are inspired by Boca del Lupo’s national Plays2Perform@Home project. In collaboration with Dr. Peter Centre, Boca del Lupo has produced four short scripts from Canadian playwrights to explore different root causes of vaccine hesitancy. These scripts are meant as practice dialogues for people who might find themselves in any number of difficult conversations, especially as folks gather for the holidays.
