9 to 5 The Musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, is based on the 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down.

By Hengameh E. Rice. Directed by Brian Dooley. Presented by AuTash Productions. AuTash Productions brings a story of resistance and struggle to the Edmonton stage in what Intermission Magazine called a “biting and brave new play…the ninety-minute drama packs a mighty punch.” The Toronto Star dubbed Anahita’s Republic “an intriguing new play offering an insider perspective into gender, power and freedom in contemporary Iran.” Anahita is a woman who refuses to wear the hijab and rules her own republic where she can live, dress, and speak as she pleases. To deal with the world outside of her compound, she controls the family business and the life of her brother Cyrus. One night, on the eve of an important secret meeting between progressive leaders, a young woman in a chador comes to Anahita’s compound, carrying explosive secrets that might destroy everything Anahita has tried to build. “We glimpse in Anahita’s Republic a world filled with secrecy and betrayal wrapped in an obsessive desire for freedom. It offers up a vision of the unceasing struggle many Iranians feel between love for their country and the sacrifices this love sometimes demands.”- Brian Dooley, Director Content warning: Mature subject matter, not suitable for children under the age of 14. This play deals with issues surrounding women’s rights and their suppression. For more information please see www.anahitasrepublic.ca Click here to see content advisories Women’s rights have been subject to restrictions for many years in Iran, and there have been frequent waves of protests against those restrictions. Many women have suffered harassment and abuse. For anyone who has experienced this, some scenes and references in this play may trigger memories or responses.

Botticelli in the Fire is a queer, fictionalized account of Sandro Botticelli’s painting of his most famous work, The Birth of Venus, by Canadian playwright Jordan Tannahill. In this epic, set against the backdrop of the early Renaissance, Botticelli personally guides the audience with crude, contemporary warmth. He tells of his relationship with apprentice Leonardo daVinci, tension with the ruling Medicis, and the tides of oppression swelling from the Catholic theocracy, embodied by the charismatic and dangerous Friar Savonarola. As the Black Plague rages, Sandro grows more threatened each day by Church-driven pyres of secular art, literature, and “sodomites”. At once a glittering celebration of the spirit of queer survival and love, and abrasive study of the demonization of vice, pleasure, and sex, Botticelli in the Fire asks: What do we owe to each other in times of strife? What do we sacrifice, for love, safety, or god?

For ONE NIGHT ONLY, curl up by the metaphorical fire for an evening of stories and shenanigans. That’s right – we're making Fringe Revue bigger and even better than before. We’re planning on two – one Holiday Special in December plus the return of our Spring Revue where we’ll announce our season, announce the Festival theme...you know, those old chestnuts. But this Winter moment... Just think – unhinged Fringe hilarity and entertainment, but in WINTER. Like with snow on the ground and stuff. We’re talking a special event involving four writers, a groovy ensemble, and two weeks to make it all happen leading to a special one-night-only-show. What could go wrong? (probably a lot) Better buy your ticket and have a grand old time.

The Spinsters is a seductive feast featuring mesmerizing movement, magical dresses, and stunning shadow puppetry. It’s a deliciously disruptive dark comedy for adults brought to life by some of the most innovative designers and creators from across Western Canada.
