JOE: THE PERFECT MAN

Written and performed by Rachelle Elie
Directed by Adam Lazarus
After losing his job, Joe’s passion to play all the lead roles in “THE SCOTTISH PLAY” explodes to the surface. Soon after he stumbles upon a “MACBETH Open Call Audition” and sees it as his one chance to fulfill his destiny. Through ridiculous failures and absurd attempts at BRILLIANCE he stumbles through the opportunity of a lifetime. An original one-woman absurdist comedy.

ON THE FRINGE
DECEMBER 7 – ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Produced by Nancy Kenny and Natalie Watson
Directed by Cory Thibert
Edited by Natalie Watson
In the summer of 2014, an intrepid team of documentarians set off to chronicle the adventures of eight Fringe artists – including fan favourites Martin Dockery and Jem Rolls – touring the Canadian Fringe Festival circuit. After 10 cities, over 18,000 kilometres, countless hours of interviews and more coffee than your doctor would advise, they collected a treasure trove of the stories and the scenes behind the scenes. On the Fringe is a feature-length documentary that takes you on a fun and poignant road trip through this undeniable force in the world theatre scene.

An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein![]() Originally Directed & Designed by Graham Price and James RichardsonWelcome to a darkly comic world, a world where nothing is as it seems and where the most innocent conversation can turn menacing in an instant. 10 imaginative short plays that range widely in content and location, but have a style unmistakably that of children’s author and columnist for Playboy – Shel Silverstein. From One Tennis Shoe where a man accuses his wife of becoming a bag lady to a play where the only three words spoken are ‘meat and potatoes’. An Adult Evening… will make you fall off the end of the sidewalk in laughter. In 2003 Third Wall Theatre made its mark on the Fringe with an award-winning production of this hilarious series of plays. See what happens with 14 years of maturation when Third Wall revisits this ridiculous classic. Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein features an all new cast including Attila Clemann, Sarah Finn, Andrew Moore, Norah Paton and special guest appearances you won’t want to miss! WINNER
