March 5, 2026 | Algonquin Theatre, Huntsville
Huntsville Festival of the Arts (HfA) is thrilled to present What You Won’t Do For Love, a powerful and intimate hybrid live-theatre and film performance starring renowned environmentalists Dr. David Suzuki and Dr. Tara Cullis, on March 5, 2026, at the Algonquin Theatre.
Presented by Why Not Theatre, What You Won’t Do For Love invites audiences into a warm, conversational reflection on Suzuki and Cullis’s 50-year romantic partnership and their shared life of environmental advocacy. Through storytelling, humour, and reflection, the performance explores a profound question: Can we learn to love the planet as deeply as we love one another?
Directed by Why Not Theatre Founder and Co-Artistic Director Ravi Jain (Mahabharata, Sea Sick, Prince Hamlet), with co-direction and dramaturgy by Kevin Matthew Wong, Artistic Director of Broadleaf Creative (The Chemical Valley Project, Benevolence Hall), the production examines love’s extraordinary capacity to inspire action and propel collective responsibility toward a healthier, more sustainable planet.
Following the performance, audiences will be invited to stay for a short live Q&A with David Suzuki and Tara Cullis, offering a rare opportunity to hear directly from the pair and engage with their ideas, experiences, and reflections. Signed books by David Suzuki will also be available for purchase on site, making this a truly special evening for fans and supporters.
“It’s incredible to have Canadian icon David Suzuki join us live,” says Dan Watson, Artistic Director of Huntsville Festival of the Arts. “Now at the age of 90, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate the life and legacy of someone so important to our nation and to the well-being of our environment.”
What You Won’t Do For Love is both a personal love story and a call to action—an inspiring evening that blends theatre, film, and environmental reflection through the voices of two of Canada’s most respected advocates.
