About
“What’s love got to do with it?” A lot, according to David Suzuki.
After a lifetime devoted to climate activism, internationally-renowned environmentalists David Suzuki and Tara Cullis take to the stage in an intimate and inspiring theatre experience. A rare behind-the-scenes look at a life shaped by deep love, commitment, and the courage to act; they reflect on their extraordinary 50-year partnership in life and work.
Honest, warm, and thought-provoking, David and Tara share captivating stories, powerful insights, and heartfelt moments of humour as they celebrate their love for each other, their love of the planet, and love’s capacity to inspire action.
What You Won’t Do For Love is a personal and poetic performance, and a powerful reminder that change begins with connection.
“We’d love to see you there!”
Tara and David

A note from our sponsor:
"We rediscovered The O’Shaughnessy not all that many years ago. Friends invited us to attend a Kevin Kling show with them. We loved it. We parlayed that into attending a few additional O’Shaughnessy offerings that season. The next season we attended a few more. The third season we became subscribers. When the opportunity for membership became available, we jumped at it. Membership provided the opportunity to schedule into our lives offerings we might not typically seek out and to affordably share those offerings with others. Through these years we have become great fans of the O’Shaughnessy staff and leadership and how a primary mission of their programming is to seek out relevance of this programming toward betterment of the community. This year, we determined that we needed to do more to support their mission which aligns closely with our own..."
"We appreciate the arts and culture that the Twin Cities affords us, and we have been subscribers of various theatres around the area ranging from the very large to the very small. We are small donors, beyond ticket purchases to a very few as we, like most folks, need to target our resources carefully. Over time we have come to realize that if we all give something to important issues, we can really move the needle in key areas that we all cherish and wish to preserve. We believe the O’Shaughnessy is unique. It is special amongst its peer venues. The O’Shaughnessy programs with a mission of amplification of women’s voices, diversity of thought and inclusion of all populations. The O’Shaughnessy leans into core values of social justice, academic excellence, community, integrity, reflection, and more recently environmental justice and concern for our planet and future generations. The O’Shaughnessy team understands the importance of community building opportunities and affordable arts experiences which are integral to moving our society forward. We appreciate their desire to listen to outside voices as they work to bring our community together for the greater good through their programming, so necessary in this time of societal fracturing. While entertainment is important, healthy, and appreciated, engagement is core.
We have been pleased with the O’Shaughnessy programming we have experienced these past few years, and we have been especially excited about the 2026-27 season. We are thrilled to be able to support the environmental focus of a portion of this season and especially the What you won’t do for Love with David Suzuki event. This internationally known visionary around sustainability is a gift for the community to be inspired and challenged to take steps to protect our planet.
We support the ideology of targeting improvement of one’s community beyond that which preceded us in whatever small way we are able. We built our lives, relationships, vocations, and avocations on that same value. We have found alignment with the O’Shaughnessy and their values, and we are humbled and gratified to be able to support their efforts.
Patty Wilder and Ryan Schroeder"
