Hilary\, a waitress/poet turned social worker and Henry\, a Butoh dancer turned lawyer\, didn’t know how lucky they were when they managed to escape bad roommates and buy a house before the real estate market skyrocketed.

SUMMARY:Paradise Lost by Erin Shields
DESCRIPTION:In the role of a lifetime written especially for her\, Canadian stage icon Lucy Peacock is Satan … as we’ve never seen Satan before. Seductive in snakeskin and as slick as a hi-tech guru\, she makes a case for her unfair expulsion from heaven in this amusing and highly theatrical adaptation of Milton’s epic poem. \nRichly infused with modern references and contemporary vernacular\, Erin Shields’ witty script deftly highlights the original poem’s timeless potency and relevance. Centaur’s production features an outstanding Montreal cast of biblical stars that includes an unforgettable Amelia Sargisson as Eve\, Michelle Rambharose in polar opposite role of Beelzebub\, Marcel Jeanin as God\, and Gabriel Lemire as His Son. Extremely physical and fiercely engaging\, Paradise Lost is a modern ‘classical’ masterpiece. \nPlease note that there is a brief instance of nudity in this production. \nTickets \nMore plays by Erin Shields are available at the Canadian Play Outlet. \n

SUMMARY:The Society For The Destitute Presents Titus Bouffonius by Colleen Murphy
DESCRIPTION:The Society for the Destitute Theatre Network is pleased to welcome The Society For The Destitute Presents Titus Bouffonius. With their shockingly dark and deranged humour\, this award-winning troupe is known to get audiences laughing so hard they lose their minds. “The worst revenge is the best revenge\,” in a hilarious and unforgettable adaptation of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus. \nTickets \nWarning: Clowns at work! Grotesque story-telling and many\, many bloody body parts used for parody. Not for the faint of heart presents Titus Bouffonius by Colleen Murphy. \n“The difference between the clown and the bouffon is that while the clown is alone\, the bouffon is part of a gang; while we make fun of the clown\, the bouffon makes fun of us. At the heart of the bouffon is mockery pushed to the point of parody. The parody isn’t directly offensive with regard to the public; there is no deliberate intention to mock. Bouffons come from elsewhere.”\n-Jacques LeCoq \n  \nPlays by Colleen Murphy are available at the Canadian Play Outlet. \n

SUMMARY:Anywhere But Here	by Carmen Aguirre
DESCRIPTION:World Premiere\n \nA family. A border wall. A million memories and the quest for home. \nIt’s 2020 at the US/Mexico border in Trump’s America. \nIn 1979\, a family drives back towards Chile from Canada. With past\, present\, and future encircling their journey\, this profoundly poetic story is about the universal quest for home – in whatever form that takes. \nA spellbinding blend of dark comedy and magical realism\, Anywhere But Here is a vibrant celebration of Latinx theatre\, with music and raps by Shad\, that chronicles the many paths\, real and imagined\, we take to discover the truth —  the truth about who we are\, and where we may be headed. \nTelling an engrossing story that intersects multiple timelines and spaces\, Anywhere But Here introduces us to a host of fantastical characters who have experienced the pull of home\, the ache of displacement\, and the harsh realities of the border as they attempt to cross\, guard\, or survive it. \nTickets \nPlays by Carmen Aguirre are available at the Canadian Play Outlet. \n
