Written and performed by Kahlil Ashanti Basic Training chronicles Ashanti’s time on tour as a comedian, actor, dancer, and soldier while enlisted in the U.S. Air Force as a member of the elite entertainment troupe ‘Tops in Blue.’ Less than 24 hours before departing for boot camp, a life-altering event forces him home to face the childhood he was trying so hard to forget. A staggering twenty-three characters, all dexterously played by Ashanti, guide Audiences through this award-winning true story. "Amid the hype fuelled blast of any arts festival comes at least a dozen wheezing promises that here, at last, is The Next Big Thing. In the case of the unlawfully gifted Kahlil Ashanti, the promise happens, on this occasion, to be completely, marvellously true. This show is killer. Recently hit with a salvo of prestigious awards and breathless reviews worldwide, Ashanti performed with the flawless aplomb of a seasoned Broadway darling. Taking us through the tour of his theatrical duty as a US Air Force entertainer, Ashanti offers nothing but impeccable magic. His gift for dead-right mimicry is comparable to Eddie Murphy; his talent for seamless, feel-good melancholy brings Robin Williams to mind. It's essential viewing." -The Age, Melbourne Australia Evening performances at 8PM. Matinee performance on Saturday April 27 at 2PM.

Petits, Joey et Michel adorent se mettre en scène dans des spectacles qu’ils offrent à leur famille et amis. Difficile, autrement, d’afficher leurs vraies couleurs dans le Québec ouvrier des années 60 et 70 où ils grandissent. Pour s’affranchir de cette dure réalité, Michel et son frère Joey trouveront leur voie dans la scène artistique. Ce dernier poursuivra une prolifique carrière d’acteur à Vancouver, alors que Michel brillera sur la scène drag montréalaise. Puis, viendra l’ultime libération : Michel deviendra Michelle, la femme qu’elle a toujours été, au fond d’elle. Jusqu’au jour où les forces extérieures auront raison de son identité véritable. Est-il possible de s’épanouir réellement lorsque nous ne correspondons pas aux rôles que la société nous impose ? Ce premier solo autobiographique du comédien Joey Lespérance dresse le portrait tout en contrastes d’un parcours marginal et courageux. Dans une mise en scène épurée d’Esther Duquette, cette puissante prise de parole de l’artiste vancouvérois donne vie au rêve perdu de son « frœur » Michel(le), qui a toujours voulu faire du théâtre.

The stage adaptation of The Little Mermaid – with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater, and book by Doug Wright – retains the most beloved songs and moments from the original film while deepening the core relationships and themes, adding in layers, textures, and songs to form an even more moving and relevant story. The Broadway production opened on January 10, 2008, running for 685 performances before closing on August 30, 2009. The stage musical was adapted for middle school children as The Little Mermaid JR. in 2012. The full-length show was then revised and enjoyed sold-out productions in Holland, Moscow, and Tokyo. The Little Mermaid continues to charm audiences around the globe. DISNEY'S THE LITTLE MERMAID is presented through special arrangement with Musical Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.

La pièce Trout Stanley de Claudia Dey se déroule dans le nord de la Colombie-Britannique, à la périphérie d'une ville minière entre Misery Junction et Grizzly Alley. Dans ce décor inhospitalier vivent deux sœurs, des jumelles qui ne se ressemblent pas du tout : Sugar et Grace. C'est leur trentième anniversaire, et le téléjournal annonce la disparition d'une danseuse nue, championne de Scrabble. Pendant que Grace travaille dans le dépotoir, Sugar, confinée à la maison, est surprise par un mystérieux vagabond, un nommé Trout Stanley, fétichiste des pieds et faux policier, qui cherche le lac où ses parents se sont noyés. Il est rapidement pris dans un triangle amoureux surréaliste.
