SSPs – Shameless Self-Promotions

Blanket Fort Theatre

The Perfect Pants—Kids Venue: MTYP – Mainstage

Giggles is a young clown growing out of her most favorite things and she has to come up with a plan to deal with it. There’s juggling, balancing, silly songs and some magic. Lots of audience interaction and a relaxed theatre environment so you can get up and move if needed, or go to the bathroom and come back. (Wouldn’t it be weird if there weren’t any bathrooms? Then we would have to be like the Geese and poop everywhere!) We would love to see you.

(in)decision—MTC Up the Alley

From the creators of “Bedwetter,” Tamlynn Bryson is back in another award-winning solo show.

Only THREE MORE CHANCES to see this smash fringe hit!

“FIVE STARS – A gem of a performer in a gem of a show” -Winnipeg Free Press

Theatre Enthused

Influenced—Theatre Enthused

INFLUENCED opened to a sold out crowd in Toronto in June. The show got Nominated for Exceptional Clown Show at the Montreal Fringe. Here’s some audiences, critics and performers have had to say:

“Sam Chaulk is a psychopath. I was afraid for my safety.” – Cliff Cardinal

“It will rock your world…her humour is relentless. ” – Montreal Rampage

“Some moments will make you fall off your chair laughing. Some moments will hit you like a train.” -Steven Elliot Jackson

PUSH Physical Theatre

Generic Male: Just What We Need Another Show About Men—John Hirsch Mainstage

Winner of Four “Best of Fest’s”, two “Critic’s Picks”, The “International Fringe Encore Series Award”, an Off-Broadway run and even a “Volunteer’s Choice” has left sold-out crowds cheering for more. It’s an explosive, athletic, physical theatre ruined by a tragic lack of understanding. A masculinity satire by two well-meaning fools – arguing, dancing, desperately clinging to the status-quo.

“…exquisite actors and superb comedians…athletic and graceful…” – apt613

“This is the type of inventive, thought-provoking, relevant art the Fringe was made for.” (Best of the Fest) – Orlando Sentinel
