The Canadian College of Performing Arts
Theatrical Treasures March 2-5
Under Milkwood by Dylan Thomas
The Triangle Factory Fire Project by Christopher Piethier
The Canadian College of Performing Arts (CCPA) is mounting two intense dramatic adaptations which reveal two very different worlds.
The Triangle Factory Fire Project, by Christopher Piehler and Scott Alan Evans is a dramatic retelling of the fire in New York that caused the death of 146 garment workers, mainly young immigrant girls. “The play is a look into the sweatshops of New York City in 1911, and the justice system at the time.” says director Jessica Van der Veen. “The characters are diverse and charming and determined to build a new life. This play couldn’t be more timely.” The story follows the fire, the manslaughter trial of the owners and the public outrage that led to renewed health and safety laws across the United States.Presented in repertory will be Dylan Thomas’ soulful yet comical tale Under Milk Wood. “Originally a radio play, Thomas is able to convey the life of the people of Llareggub (bugger-all spelled backwards), through some of the most beautiful language ever written for the English Stage”, says Director Alison Greene. The cast includes unrequited lovers, gossips, prostitutes, bigamists, a Methodist minister and ghosts; all interwoven into a day in the life of the village.

Blind Portrait
Written by Chase Hiebert
Directed by Karin Saari
March 8-10
Intrepid Theatre Club (2-1609 Blanshard Street at Fisgard)
Three people are trapped in a room. Each is filled with regret and a deep desire to connect, but held back by their (sometimes literal) inability to see each other. As the room becomes more crowded, desires become more urgent. Slowly, reality unravels and raw emotion takes hold. Written with both startling poetry and wicked humour, Chase Hiebert’s Blind Portrait is an abstract exploration of memory, loss, and selfhood.
UVic Phoenix
The Inspector
March 9 –18
Adapted and directed by Linda Hardy
Inspired by Nikolay Gogol’s The Government Inspector
Edited by Nicholas Guerreiro
Word arrives in Paradise (a “fictional” West Coast town) that a government inspector is coming incognito. Will the little improprieties of town’s mayor and officials be exposed? When they mistake a cunning ex-civil servant for the inspector, their schemes are turned against them. As the greed, corruption, and hypocrisy escalate, this satirical farce spins hilariously out of control. Inspired by local news stories, this adaptation of Gogol’s 19th-century comedy of errors is no less relevant – and possibly even more humorous! – when reimagined into our own political landscape.
The Little Prince a bilingual production

The Metis Story Box written by Wayne Grafton, Souviens Productions
An Intrepid Theatre YOU Show
March 11, 8pm
The Métis Story Box is a new play exploring being Métis. The play looks at the history of the Métis people which is largely the history of Canada. It is about what people remember and what they forget. The play asks us to question the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and where we come from regardless of our backgrounds.
We say, “Je me souviens” and “Jamais je ne t’oublierai,” but we don’t remember and we are encouraged to forget. The play is about Aboriginal issues, how these issues are presented to the public, what information is shared and what is not. The characters in the play begin as children, move through various experiences, and arrive at seeing life differently after exploring Métis and Aboriginal stories and how these stories are expressed in Canadian media.
What happens when you are told to go up on a hill and scout for buffalo, but when you come down everything is different? And who can you talk to about it? What happens next is one of the stories from the Métis Story Box.

Spinning a web of stories that travel from 19th century women’s emancipation to 21st century consumer culture, SPIN is inspired by the incredible true tale of Annie Londonderry, the first woman to ride around the world on a bicycle in 1895. One part documentary and another part musical activism, Parry cleverly peels back layers of history to reveal a very contemporary heart to her theme of liberation.

Both are natural storytellers and improvisers who are at ease ad-libbing in front of audiences. Both are combative and very passionate about this conflict. And both know a lot about the political context and history of the Middle East.

May
Jocasta Regina by Nancy Huston
Theatre Inconnu
May 2-20, opening May 4th
Governor General Award winner Nancy Huston succeeds completely in this brilliant retelling of the Oedipus myth: from Jocasta’s perspective. Huston stands this ancient classical story on its ear. She shows the contrast between male and female sensibilities, as they have been corrupted and limited by cultural and traditional conditioning. Huston reveals how the actions we choose are often based upon a biased assessment of the consequences, and how social norms dictate this bias. In her fight to preserve the life she cherishes, Jocasta is prepared to accept the “unacceptable.” Her depth of love and fulfillment allows her to break free of this conditioning, and for a short while we see how our own limited vision is the biggest obstacle to happiness, and not “fate” or the “gods.” Far from being a tragedy in the classical sense of the word, Jocasta Regina is a play that – while it must lead to the inevitable conclusion – celebrates the integration of joy, passion, love, and unfettered logic.

Snowfrog & The Fitting Room (double bill)
Written by Kaitlin Ruether & Ellery Lamm (respectively)
Directed by Melissa Taylor & Anna Anderson (respectively)
May 10th, 11th and 12th
Snow Frog-– In 1980, Quebec held its first referendum regarding whether the province should become a sovereign nation. What if it had passed? Snowfrog takes place in a Canadian prison of war during a Canada-Quebec war in an alternate reality present day. Exploring all-too-familiar ideas of what happens when a government doesn’t embrace diversity, the play delves into the lives of three young people — one Quebecois, one anglophone living in Quebec, and one anglo-Canadian — as they struggle for freedom before their time runs out.
The Fitting Room centres around five people all linked in some way to the same tragic event. Set in a department store fitting room, the characters enter the curtained space and are forced to confront the turmoil within their own lives. A twelve year old boy’s mistakes influence the trajectory of his future. Teen girls’ friendship shift amidst a changing sense of self. They all explore intersections of religion, sexuality, and questions how to move forward in the face of loss.
