SWEENEY TODD

October, 2010
by Stephen Sondheim & Hugh Wheeler
directed by Ryan Mooney & Christopher King

A Chilling, suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece of murderous barber-ism and culinary crime tells the infamous tale of the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. His thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers, and the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs soon has the people of London lining up in droves with her mysterious new meat pie recipe!

THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE

February 15th – 26th, 2011
by Martin McDonagh
directed by Matt Clarke

Wee Thomas was a friendly cat. He would always say hello to you were you to see him sitting on a wall. He won’t be saying hello no more, God bless him. Not with that lump of a brain gone.’ Who knocked Wee Thomas over on the lonely road on the island of Inishmore, and was it an accident? ‘Mad Padraig’ will want to know when he gets back from a stint of torture and chip shop bombing in Northern Ireland: he loves that cat more than life itself.

THE WIZ

April 19th – 30th, 2011 – Performance Works
by Charlie Smalls & William F. Brown
directed by Ryan Mooney, musical direction by Christopher King

The Wiz sets the classic “Wizard of Oz” story in a modern day environment, when Dorothy is thrust into OZ by a hurricane this colourful world shocks and excites her. With contemporary music and a definite with-it plot The Wiz is an instant hit with audiences of all ages.

UNCOMMON WOMEN (AND OTHERS)

May 31st – June 4th, 2011 – PAL Theatre
by Wendy Wasserstein
directed by Jacqueline Bennett

Feminism meets “Sex and the City” in this Wendy Wasserstein play about college friends who meet to discuss how their lives have changed five years post-college. A series of flashbacks help the women to understand who they were then, and why that makes them who they are now.

BARE: A POP OPERA

August 2nd – 13th, 2011 – Waterfront Theatre
by Jon Hartmere & Damon Intrabartolo
directed by Ryan Mooney, musical direction by Christopher King

Jason and Peter are deeply in love with each other – unfortunately they’re also roommates at a very strict Catholic boarding school. When Jason decides to experiment with the other sex it sends Peter into a desperate rage struggling with his sexuality and his faith. A full-sung through pop opera Bare is often compared to Rent and Hair.
