SUMMARY:The $#!T
DESCRIPTION:In the far distant past of 2010\, a Christian boy from Northern Ontario fell in love with a handsome mischievous boy from Virginia. Fifteen years later they’re sharing a hostel in DC when nature calls and while entrapped on the toilet\, he reflects upon the history that lead them from lovers\, to enemies to friends… and maybe back again? But in such a small space\, will one bodily function be enough to shatter whatever romance they have left? \nA story of love\, loss\, lust and lower intestines- the $#!T bares all and shows that sometimes the ones who stick around can be the ones you least expect. \nPlaywright: Matti McLean \nDirector: Damon Bradley Jang \nCast: Matti McLean \nContent Advisory: \nNudity\, Sexual Content\, Adult Language\, Drug Use\, Awkward Topics\, Solo Performance

SUMMARY:Grit & Gloss: A Double Bill of MudFlap Girl and Strawberry Pie
DESCRIPTION:This double bill is rooted in roadside culture\, truck stops\, diners\, and long-haul travellers. \n Mudflap Girl In 1971\, an iconic image of a silhouetted woman started appearing on truck mudflaps. Mudflap Girl has at different times been considered a reflection of male self-image\, symbolic of declining family values\, and a feminist figure. What is her story? And most mysteriously\, who is she? \n Strawberry Pie At an all night diner\, three women from different eras of sex work have a moment of shared recognition. They have all worked to be seen\, but have struggled to be visible. \n Playwright: Sya Sen Directors: Joti Janda Cast: Doriane Irakoze\, Gabriela Kim\, Hannah Yurub\, Mary Armstrong\, Naomi Krahn\, Omer Syed\, Rose Bene\, Tara Rorke\, Tom Carver\, and Venice Mique \n Content Advisory Sexual Content\, Adult Language\, Silhouetted nudity and discussion of sex work.
