The Event By John Clancy
“It is the difference between watching something and being a part of something.” Written by New York playwright John Clancy and featuring 1982 Dalhousie Theatre grad Bob Paisley, The Event is beautifully conceived theatre, masterfully delivering a thought provoking, imaginative evening. The Event deconstructs the theatrical experience while offering parallel insight into modern life.

Fertile & Feral
A show about abortion, about fatness, about being too fat for an abortion. One woman takes you through the most traumatic experience of her life an ocean away from her entire support system. She hides cookware full of pee in her room, she starts a fandom blog, she goes off her meds… but the real fun kicks in at the funeral part!

Sappho’s Garden
Sappho is hosting a garden party, and she invites only her most loyal disciples to join her for an afternoon of song, storytelling, and celebration on the Isle of Lesbos. This show is created to address the need for Sapphic spaces and the issues with anti-femme attitudes in 2SLGBTQIA+ spaces. Designated 2SLGBTQIA+ spaces are frequently dominated by cis gay men, with the “others” continue to face exclusion in spaces that are supposedly meant for them. Sappho’s poetry is integrated into classical and contemporary operatic-style performance in this intimate reflection of the queer community’s softest individuals.

A Woman of a Certain Age ®
A humorous, provocative, poignant and truthful solo-performance portrayal of six women struggling to age graciously and with meaning as they become “invisible women” in a culture obsessed with youth and beauty. The characters lament their age-related betrayal by mind and body while being pushed to the edge by the stresses of aging and ill parents, disappointing marriages, acting-out children, widowhood and demanding jobs. This is a show for women of all ages, adolescent to geriatric, and everyone who knows and loves a woman. Winner, “Best of Fest”, 2015 Calgary International Fringe Festival. Past reviews: “… a stellar performance… hits a nerve…honest, entertaining…emotionally poignant …full of laughs…charming, witty and accessible…expertly done…astute…warm, funny…graceful and affecting… breathtaking”.
