Marcellus / Fortinbras / Player – Reanna Sartoretto
Reynaldo / Grave-digger – Will Innes
Ghost – Paul Vanier
Shakespeare’s greatest masterpiece; a story of murder and betrayal, and of the psychological challenges of vengeance. Often overlooked, however, is the play’s deep philosophy on acting itself, and whether one can ever truly separate the “real” self from the role one plays, giving new meaning to that immortal line: “To be, or not to be”.
Picasso at the Lapin Agile by Steve Martin
directed by Joseph Lauria
July 27-30, 8pm – The Registry Theatre
Freddy – Brent Meidinger
Gaston – Dick Freeland
Germaine – Tanya Feick
Einstein – Zach Parsons
Suzanne / Countess / Female Admirer – Katie Honek
Sagot – Greg Johnson
Picasso – Paul Carere
Schmendiman – Ryan Bassett
Visitor – Stephen Lotimer
In his modern absurdist triumph, Steve Martin takes what should be the first line of a joke and turns it into a brilliant discussion about art and science: Picasso and Einstein walk into a bar. Their discourse is a profound and eloquent exploration of the interdisciplinary backbone of modern society and culture, not to mention a hilarious one at that.
La Persistencia by Griselda Gambaro, translated by Caitlin Robson
directed by Caitlin Robson
October 12-15, 8pm – The Registry Theatre
Enzo – Joseph Lauria
Zaida – Katie Honek
Boris – Zach Parsons
El Silencioso – Reid Vanier
Argentinean playwright Griselda Gambaro delivers a hard-hitting drama about the crisis of morality and the nature of ethics when society crumbles. This deeply passionate piece receives new light in the first ever English-language translation by Caitlin Robson.
