Theatre

Apt613 reviews five shows on opening weekend of Fresh Meat 8. Five new shows run next weekend, October 17–19.

“For the last week we have been talking non-stop about how excited we were to get to see this show on stage and couldn’t wait for opening night.”

Barb Popel: “Plosive Production’s The Ugly One is a fine start to The Gladstone’s theatre season. It has an interesting script, an excellent cast, and good direction.”

The Prismatic Arts Festival is a multidisciplinary roundup of culturally diverse Canadian artists which was launched in 2008.

A Comedy of Tenors is a farce revolving around miscommunication, assumptions and mistaken identities. When a huge concert is being staged to feature three famous tenor singers, we quickly find the show unravelling—merely hours before it is set to begin.

Barb Popel: “This local gem deserves to be seen!”

With the entire book of the show being sung, and no spoken dialogue, Falsettos is definitely not a mainstream show. But we know musical lovers (nerds?) like us won’t want to miss their chance to see such a rare production of a more indie style show.

A heart wrenching story, full of loss, fear and despair shows how kindness, and coming together can impact the lives of the people around you.

The festival was founded from a desire to see more women and non-binary artists on local stages.

And just like that, it’s August! Welcome to another exciting long weekend. Read on for some of our picks.
