SUMMARY:Elevator Theatre presents Spring Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Spring Awakening – October 8-25\,2026 \nSpring Awakening is a groundbreaking rock musical about a group of young people coming of age in a world that refuses to speak openly about desire\, identity\, and fear. Set in late 19th century Germany but driven by a contemporary pulse\, this 8-time Tony Award-winning musical explores the collision between youthful longing and rigid authority.  With a propulsive\, emotionally charged score\, Spring Awakening fuses folk-inspired rock with fearless storytelling. Urgent\, intimate\, and unflinching\, it captures the intensity of adolescence\, the cost of silence\, and the power that comes from finally being heard. \n  \nContent Warning: Spring Awakening contains mature and potentially distressing content\, including sexual content\, sexual violence\, abortion\, suicide\, self-harm\, physical abuse\, strong language\, and themes of grief\, trauma\, repression\, and adolescent mental health. Viewer discretion is advised. \n  \nSpring Awakening Performance Dates and Times \nOctober 8\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. (Opening) \nOctober 9\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 10\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 11\, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. \nOctober 12\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. (Industry Night) \nOctober 14\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 15\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 16\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 17\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 18\, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. \nOctober 21\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 22\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 23\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 24\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 25\, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. (Closing)

SUMMARY:Survivor: A song cycle based on the poetry of Tona Mills
DESCRIPTION:SURVIVOR\na song cycle based on the poetry of Tona Mills\nThursday\, October 29th – 7:30pm\nBUS STOP THEATRE\n2203 Gottingen St.  Kjipuktuk / Halifax\n“I spent years in a tiny cell / my captors never knew me well…” (From “The Scar” by Tona Mills) \nIn 1994\, Tona Mills was sentenced to four years in prison for discharging a firearm during a time of psychological distress. She was 19. This was the first in successive sentences she survived in prison until 2003\, six years of which she spent in solitary confinement.\n“Sometimes when you’re in there you feel so desperate. And my anger would be building up and my anger would be building up and so then when they let me out of my cell I’d assault someone…and the snowball kept rolling and rolling and rolling and the four year sentence turned into 10 years…”” Tona was diagnosed with isolation induced schizophrenia after her release and was then held in forensic psychiatric detention for another 15 years.\nKnowing too well that so many people experienced the terror of isolation\, Tona dedicated energy toward the freedom of others by working with Senator Kim Pate to abolish solitary confinement – Tona’s Law\, a step in this direction\, passed its third reading in Senate this year. \nTona also wrote poetry. Before her passing in February 2026\, she began collaborating with songwriter\, Simone Schmidt\, to relay her distinct experience in song. Join East Coast Prison Justice Society for a live musical performance of the resulting song cycle\, Survivor.\nPerformed by Simone Schmidt\, Nathan Doucet\, Jeremy Costello and Rachel Kimmelman. \nEntry is PWYC. All proceeds go to East Coast Prison Justice Society.\nWe acknowledge the support of Arts Nova Scotia. #ArtsNS
