SUMMARY:The Little Years: Presented by Matchstick Theatre
DESCRIPTION:With just six performances from October 11th-14th\, Matchstick Theatre proudly presents John Mighton’s The Little Years\, the last production of its 2018 season\, at the Bus Stop Theatre with support from the Canada Council for the Arts and Theatre Nova Scotia. \nJohn Mighton’s epic masterpiece orbits Kate\, who begins the play as a young woman of 14\, and follows her life from 1957 to 2002. Now in 2018\, where many are still battling for equality and respect\, Mighton’s drama presents a microcosm of progress to remind us that there is something to fight for\, even if we ourselves don’t always reap the results of our efforts. \nFrom the playwright: Kate possesses the makings of a gifted mathematician with an enthusiasm for exploring the mysteries of space and time. But this is the 1950s and women are routinely laughed out of scientific circles. Besides\, every family has its star\, and Kate’s brother already holds that distinction. Hindered by prejudices against women\, Kate is confined to a life of unfulfilling jobs\, leading her to become bitter and unhappy. The Little Years confronts the impact of chauvinism and explores the nature of fame\, the value of art\, and the passing of time. \nKate – Colleen MacIsaac\nGrace – Christine Daniels\nRoger – Matthew Lumley\nAlice – Mauralea Austin\nYoung Kate / Tanya – Kayla Gunn\nMr.Castle / Doctor / Mr.York – Sean Skerry\nMary – Amanda Mullally\nNorman – Sam Vigneault \nDirected by Jake Planinc\nStage Management Chelsea Dickie\nProduced by Alex Mills\nSet Design Wesley Babcock\nLighting Design Alison Crosby\nSound Design Jordan Palmer \nTickets are $25 ($20 for artists\, students\, seniors\, underwaged\, and Bus Stop Co-op members) and can be booked in advance through Ticket Halifax\, or by contacting matchsticktheatre@gmail.com\nWe will have one Pay What You Can performance on Saturday the 13th at 2pm. \nhttps://www.tickethalifax.com/events/57262894/john-mightons-the-little-years \nThe Little Years opens on October 11th and runs for just six performances with shows at 8:00pm on the 11th-14th and 2:00pm on the 13th and 14th.

SUMMARY:Some Blow Flutes
DESCRIPTION:Some Blow Flutes is a new play by HomeFirst Theatre’s Artistic Director\, Mary Vingoe. The play deals with the effects of memory loss\, both that brought on by illness and that which is self-induced as a way of numbing pain. The play asks the question; How can we heal when we cannot remember? Inspired by a quote from the I Ching which refers to how we respond to tragedy\, Some Blow Flutes is the story of Costas Frangoulis\, an elderly Greek shoe repair man whose wife Elena suffers from dementia and whose marriage has been eroded by a family secret. His life is altered when Sandra\, a professional organizer who cannot begin to organize her own life\, enters his shop. His teenage granddaughter Leah who cares for her grandmother is best friends with Sandra’s estranged daughter Marijke. Marijke is fourteen and pregnant. An unlikely friendship between Costas and Sandra and a chance meeting between Elena and Marijke turn to an unravelling of past lives and hidden grievances which play out with unexpected results. \nStarring:\nMary-Colin Chisholm\nHugh Thompson\nFrancine Deschepper\nAilsa Galbreath\nGina Thornhill \nTICKETS:\n$25 General\n$20 Student/Underwaged \nBuying tickets for a group of 10 or more?
