SUMMARY:An Autobiographical Fiction Christmas Special - presented by the Unnatural Disaster Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:While the night may be dark\, the  The Bus Stop Theatre will be aglow with laughs\, libations\, and good cheer during this very special Autobiographical Christmas Special featuring Logan Robins & Olivier Blais!  \nWHEN?\nThe doors to the lobby and bar will open half an hour before the show at 7pm\, with the show starting at 7:30pm! The first act will run approximately 45 minutes\, followed by a 15 minute intermission (to reset the stage and refill your drinks)\, and a second act of approximately 45 minutes. \nWHERE?\nAt The Bus Stop Theatre Co-op! \nHOW DOES IT WORK?\nAutobiographical Fiction is an entirely improvised solo show created by the audience (including you)! Before each of the two acts begin the audience will have a chance to fill the stage with a wide array of costumes and props while also filling out sticky notes with festive-themed prompts\, lines\, song recommendations\, and more! This is a chance to be creative\, collaborative\, and a little silly as you unleash your inner playwright/director/set designer/sound designer/costume designer!\n*Audience participation is never mandatory. Your’e safe. We promise… \nSHOULD I BRING ANYTHING?\nAs a matter of fact… Yes (if you’d like to)!! \nWhile we will provide sticky notes and writing utensils (and some festive props/set) we would love you to bring something from home that you would like to donate this holiday season! Wether it be a winter-coat you’ve outgrown or a coffee table that has never quite worked in your living room\, we are accepting donations of any non-perishable item which will be used in the show and then cleaned\, delivered\, and donated by UDTCo. to Out of the Cold Community Association (and other charitable orginizations). \nThat’s right! You can clear some much needed space in the house right before the holidays while contributing to Autobiographical Fiction and a great cause (talk about a win/win/win\, huh?)! \nOur primary goal is to gather items to donate to Out of the Cold  (you can see a list of what they are looking for below).\nIf we collect items that they are not in need of we will donate to either: \nHabitat for Humanity https://www.habitat.org/restores/donate-goods \nByrony House https://bryonyhouse.ca/ways-to-support-us/ \nShelter Nova Scotia https://www.shelternovascotia.com/ \n*If none of the above organizations will take a certain item we will still clean it and bring it to Value Village\n**These are all incredible resources in our city you should look into supporting regardless!! \nIMPROV WORKSHOP\nIf you want a behind the scenes look at how Autobiographical Fiction works and to sharpen up your storytelling skills before Christmas Dinner- make sure to check out UDTCo’s Improv for Storytellers workshop! This workshop will be run by Logan Robins & Olivier Blais at The Bus Stop Theatre from 12pm-4pm on December 21st. The workshop is only $30 and includes admission to the show (which means if you decide to join you can use your ticket price towards it)!   It is the perfect gift for the theatre-lover in your life! All skill-levels welcome! \nYou’ve seen Autobiographical Fiction at the Fringe Festival and you want to try your hand at this wacky format? You’re an improviser looking to add a couple of things to your yes-and toolbelt? You’re an international spy with sensitive military secrets on the run from the government and you need to lay low for a few hours? We got just the thing! \nLogan Robins and Olivier Blais are hosting a special\, one time only workshop at the Bus Stop Theatre dissecting the format for their show. In this workshop\, they will lead you through helpful creative exercises\, discuss the strategies and difficulties of doing a solo improvised show and guide you through performing a small\, shortened version of the show. By the end of this workshop\, you’ll know how our brains work when we sweat on stage: which is great because a workshop ticket also gets you a ticket to the show! What a steal! \nThrough different creative exercises we will explore focus\, connectivity\, world building\, storytelling and more. Because of the limited class size we look forward to meeting each participant where they are at to help them build skills\, confidence\, and to have FUN! \nIf you have any questions or ways in which we can make this experience more accessible to you please send us an email at: unnaturaldisastertheatre@gmail.com ! \nWe can’t wait to see you soon to spread some holiday cheer. \n_________________________________________________ \nOUT OF THE COLD DONATION REQUESTS \nNon food items: \nBus Tickets \nNew Underwear & Socks \nRadios/Clock Radios \nEarphones \nWorking Cell Phones \nCharging Cords \nSingle Bed Size Sheet Sets \nPillowcases \nMedium Weight Blankets \nBath Towels \nPuzzles \nBooks \nWorking Mini-Fridges \nWinter Coats \nBoots and Shoes \nFood items: \nSnacks\nCanned Goods\nBaking Ingredients\nJuice Boxes\nBaked Goods\nFrozen Casseroles \nNew Personal Care Items: \nTweezersRazors\nHair Elastics\nHairbrushes\nShampoo/Conditioner/Body Wash\nDeodorant\nToothbrushes
