About the Show

In the summer of 2005 actor/writer James Long salvaged a collection of seven photo albums and travel journals from an alley near his East Vancouver home. The collection, complete with detailed captions and letters, documents a family’s history between 1950 and 1987, and includes everything from birth notices to a full eulogy for the archivist’s Pomeranian, Mandy. In the fall of 2007, a team of collaborators went in search of the origins of these books and ran into multiple questions surrounding the legality and morality of working with found materials. What started as a simple trip to the country carried the creators on narrative jags across propriety, oceans, and beyond. Clark and I Somewhere in Connecticut uses fact, fiction, video, interviews, a rabbit suit and anything else required to make sense of the found materials and the many lives interrupted along the way.

Tiny Apocalypse follows the rise and fall of Rita, an obsessively organized office worker who finds herself caught in a daily repetitive loop. Within the narrow, grey hallways of the Company, an institutional landscape of mindlessly humming photocopiers, she is normally as regular in her body as she is at her work. But for the past six weeks, nothing has happened. No period- period. Then one day, whilst standing by the photocopier, something happens: an extraordinarily tiny event, which causes her carefully ordered world to spiral wildly out of control.

Darkly comic and playfully irreverent, Tiny Apocalypse scrutinizes the surreal banalities and submerged hysteria of office life in a world shaped and monitored by surveillance.

Garnered six Jessie Richardson Theatre Award nominations and a win for John Webber in the category of Outstanding Lighting Design.

1863. Mice are gathering under the floorboards on a wealthy Halifax estate. In the servants’ quarters, Charlie is setting traps while Adelaide, the drunken scullery maid, has delusions of sainthood. The two servants become the fascination of their employer’s wayward son, home with stories of travels in strange lands. A love triangle develops, driven by greed, temper and a perverse sense of destiny, culminating in a violent murder and public hanging.

Minimally staged, with an intimate audience/performer relationship and a live musical score, Penny Dreadful is a tale of revelation and love in the age of syphilis.
