All shows are presented at Village Theatre with general admission. All tickets are $23.00. "The Vagina Monologues" by Eve Ensler This play is directed by Heather Markgraf-Lowe and is our fundraiser to help keep ticket prices reasonable for our other events. We believe theatre should be accessible to everyone. If you haven't seen this seminal piece of theatre which was first produced in 1996, you have to come and see this show. Heather is directing it in a thoughtful manner to appeal to a broad audience and hopes to bring out the relevance in today's society. "Three Old Bags" created and written by Mary Harvey, Gissa Israel, Pina Macku, Emma Stevens A risqué comedy about a trio of funky old ladies that just won’t quit. As one character observes, after a certain age, women become invisible in our society but, invisible or not, these ladies forge a friendship which allows them to discuss openly, sometimes with hilarious results, issues which society avoids. Mary Harvey, seen at Village Theatre in "Educating Rita", directs and Emma Stevens, who founded Theatre Lac Brome, plays one of the ladies. This show was the hit of The Piggery last summer "Even Steven" by by Jason McCullogh These two short plays are written and performed by great young Montreal actors and give new and original perspectives on current themes. Even Steven asks what happened to Adam and Eve after they were banished from the Garden of Eden. Does Adam carry a grudge? How does Eve deal with her role? After his triumph, what does the devil do for an encore. The results are sometimes tongue-in-cheek funny, sometimes poingnant and sometimes touching. Jessica Rose is both writer and performer for "I Don't Know Where Here Is" and Pat Donnelly of The Gazette has written that her piece "...is remarkable for her writing as well as her performance." Two interesting and exciting pieces well worth seeing. Click from Theatre Film back to StoryFest page. |
