MADSUMMER: A Halloween Sci Fi Karaoke Musical

From the strange little goblins who brought you Zomblet, Knight of the Bat, Hansel und Gretel, and Shakespeare’s Time Machine…
Join The Villains Theatre for our newest Halloween offering… MADSUMMER: a staged reading 80s sci-fi karaoke musical by Dan Bray!
After getting lost in the forest, lovers Ramona and Seymour find themselves in the House of Dr Dream: a deranged sleep scientist who believes that the best hits of the ’80s can be used to usher forth the Greek Gods and – perhaps – even the end of the world.
Inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream – not to mention Rocky Horror Picture Show (and yes, perhaps, just a tiiiiny dash of Mamma Mia!) – this radical, new, balls-to-the-wall staged reading is the perfect way to kick off the Halloween Season – not to mention, honour the best band of the 1980s… Tears for Fears (“Everybody Wants to Rule the World”, “Mad Summer”)!
Stick around after the performance for a open KARAOKE DANCE PARTY!

Wellness Within Annual Conference 2022
2022-11-09 13:30 - 20:30 | The Bus Stop Theatre, 2203 Gottingen Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3K3B5, Canada
Registration is open for the 6th annual Wellness Within conference on November 9, both in-person and online: https://wellnesswithinns.org/ww-annual-conference-2022. All are welcome! As always, registration is $0 for people with lived experience of criminalization/incarceration. Register early to secure your spot, in-person registration is limited.

Our junior artist in residence this year is Aleemah Thompson.

Speakers are joining us from across North America, covering key issues at the intersection of reproductive justice and prison abolition.

We are excited to announce a special evening event, featuring Dr. El Jones, poet, scholar, activist and WW board member, who will be reading from her forthcoming book Abolitionist Intimacies. To celebrate and engage with this important new work, we will be inviting conference speakers to select and read a passage from Abolitionist Intimacies, with commentary from Fernwood editor Fazeela Jiwa. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the conference, as will other abolitionist titles from Fernwood.

In Abolitionist Intimacies, El Jones examines the movement to abolish prisons through the Black feminist principles of care and collectivity. Understanding the history of prisons in Canada in their relationship to settler colonialism and anti-Black racism, Jones observes how practices of intimacy become imbued with state violence at carceral sites including prisons, policing and borders, as well as through purported care institutions such as hospitals and social work. The state also polices intimacy through mechanisms such as prison visits, strip searches and managing community contact with incarcerated people. Despite this, Jones argues, intimacy is integral to the ongoing struggles of prisoners for justice and liberation through the care work of building relationships and organizing with the people inside.

The Crevice: Season 1
2022-11-10 19:00 - 21:00 | The Bus Stop Theatre, 2203 Gottingen Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3K3B5, Canada
Rebecca Falvey as Ingrid with Mary Colin Chisholm as Anna.
EPISODIC ENSEMBLE COMEDY THE CREVICE: SEASON ONE SCREENS NOVEMBER 10 & 11 AT 7pm AT THE BUS STOP THEATRE.
After the success of its first three-part installment in March 2021, The Bus Stop Theatre Co-Op’s first in-house production The Crevice is back for a new season! To celebrate and prepare for the upcoming new episodes (in March 2023), The Bus Stop will be screening the Director’s Cut of The Crevice: Season One this November 10th and 11th. Come revisit all the heartwarming moments and paranoid delusions of our first season; such as the Crevice FM enacting psychological warfare on a hungover Ingrid, Anna’s overt suggestion that her British neighbor is a non-British spy, and Kate’s beautiful rendition of Stardust.

Henri Gielis as Ben on saxophone, with Sébastien Labelle as David, Jacob Sampson as Stephen, and Dan Bray as Henry.
Tickets are $20 with a $10 artist/underwaged option, available through Side Door Access. There will also be VIP tables of 4 for $100 that include drink tickets and Crevice swag! The Bus Stop Theatre is located at 2203 Gottingen Street. Closed Captioning will be provided at Thursday night’s screening.
“As an arts journalist in Halifax for 20 years, you can believe me when I say that the first season of The Crevice is already legendary. It was one of the most ambitious and frankly weirdest things I’ve ever seen come out of this town…Lots of artists here have ambition but the execution often misses the mark; The Crevice was a fully realized vision. Rebecca, Meg and their team of multidisciplinary artists managed to pull off a technically savvy and resoundingly entertaining hybrid show that was deeply committed to its aesthetic and approach. It remains not just a top highlight of my pandemic entertainment, but of any endeavour I’ve ever seen here.” – Tara Thorne

CLIFF: Canadian Labour International Film Festival with Mayworks
2022-11-17 19:00 - 20:30 | The Bus Stop Theatre, 2203 Gottingen Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3K3B5, Canada
Mayworks Kjipuktuk/Halifax Festival of Working People in the Arts is proud to partner once again with the Canadian Labour International Film Festival for a satellite screening of films from their 16th annual festival. The screening takes place November 17, 2022, at the Bus Stop Theatre Co-op.
This year we are screening If There is No Struggle (United States) by Jared Katriane, See Us Come Together (Philippines) by Alyssa Suico, What Will I Show You? (Canada) by Elie-John Joseph, Opera Trans*formed (Canada) by Leah Borts-Kuperman & Maria Sarrouh, The Unmaking of Medical Inadmissibility (Canada) by Laura Bisaillon, & Kellys (Spain) by Javier Fesser. The screening lasts 62 minutes.
Admission by donation.
THE FILMS:
If There is No Struggle (United States) by Jared Katriane
A young woman discovers the working class history of her neighbourhood through the lens of a 1965 Canon Scoopic 16mm camera and historical figures via Boston’s public art. She begins an important conversation that needs to continue in the labour movement given the overwhelming right wing ideology and misinformation being spread targeting working class folks.
The film title comes from an 1857 Frederick Douglass speech: “If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
See Us Come Together (Philippines) by Alyssa Suico
See Us Come Together is an amateur documentary following the members of the Optodev Workers Union, tracing their story of forming their union before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
When factories were forced to close operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, an ophthalmic lens workers’ union ensured mechanisms to protect their workers, with the ultimate goal of changing the culture of labour in their factory. The documentary brings to focus what is essential to keep a country running in times of crisis. While the pandemic turned the spotlight on essential and frontline workers, what was essential to the workers of Optodev was their union.

What Will I Show You? (Canada) by Elie-John Joseph
In the tradition of direct cinema, What Will I Show You is an intimate documentary in which a grandfather and his grandson discuss the past and future of Innu culture. An important, first-person film telling the stories of Innu and their culture, their work, and the immediate impacts of environmental degradation on their lands.
Themes of Indigenous learning, work and way of life. From the Innu nation and residing in the Tiohtià:ke territory since 2006, Elie-John Joseph has been passionate about cinema since a young age. Self-taught, he has been practising film photography for several years.
Opera Trans*formed (Canada) by Leah Borts-Kuperman & Maria Sarrouh
“If I wasn’t an opera singer, would I be a trans man?” asks Teiya Kasahara, a gender non-binary singer, partway through the film. It’s a dilemma facing gender non-binary and trans singers working in a field whose roles are rigidly defined along gender lines: sopranos and mezzos are cast as women (so-called “trouser roles” aside); tenors and basses as men.
Teiya Kasahara (they/them) leads a new generation of trans* opera performers, activists and self-proclaimed “shit-disturbers” making their voices heard–whether the classical music world likes it or not.
The Unmaking of Medical Inadmissibility (Canada) by Laura Bisaillon
Have you ever considered the amount of work it takes to immigrate to Canada? Applying to immigrate is a form of labour: it requires time, effort, intention, skill and money. This film about immigration application work tells the stories of Martha, Winnie and Stella. As prospective immigrants to Canada, they are tagged as being “abnormal” (to use the state’s term) through the immigration medical examination and therefore face higher barriers and discrimination during the immigration process.
Themes include the criminalization of HIV, and a critical look at the idea of “good immigrants.”
Kellys (Spain) by Javier Fesser
In this high quality short, we glimpse a private conversation between two long-time hotel workers and close friends. But there are always things that are hidden, even from your best friend.

MIRO + DJ UNPIER

★ Miro ★
Avec son deuxième album Sablier, Miro renoue avec un son aussi unique qu’inimitable, à la fois hip-hop, R&B, pop et soul.
Après une nomination comme révélation de l’année au Gala de l’ADISQ en 2020 pour son 1er album, plusieurs résidences de création, des premiers spectacles en France, 2 prix au Gala Rideau 2020 à la suite de sa vitrine et un franc succès avec ses vidéoclips, qui récoltent à ce jour près de 735 000 vues, il va sans dire que Miro s’en va tout droit vers les hauts sommets.
★ DJ UNPIER ★
DJ UNPIER projette une énergie débordante sur scène. On l’a vu en spectacle aux côtés de Miro, Jacobus et Radio Radio, LGS, Georgette, etc. Pour ses créations, il met de l’avant des artistes francophones sur des beats actuels. Il fait partie de la nouvelle génération de beatmakers et se situe à la croisée des sonorités EDM et de la pop.

★ DJ UNPIER ★
DJ Unpier gives his full energy on stage. We have seen him perform with artists such as Miro, Jacobus, and Radio Radio, LGS, Georgette and more. In his music, he highlights francophone artists with modern beats. He’s part of this new generation of beat makers, being between pop and EDM sounds.

Atlantic Boylesque presents A Queersmas Carol
2022-12-03 17:30 - 23:00 | The Bus Stop Theatre, 2203 Gottingen Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3K3B5, Canada
Atlantic Boylesque is bringing something fresh, sexy and groundbreaking to Halifax this holiday season. On December 3rd, Halifax’s only all male and non-binary burlesque troupe will deliver a unique take on a Christmas classic to two sold out audiences at the Bus Stop Theatre. They have re-written Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol and will be performing the scripted play mixed with burlesque and comedy. Although Halifax has never seen anything of the sort, producers of the show suggest that the novel was written for this very purpose. “There are so many brief cameos of ghosts and characters that literally sing and dance their way into the story and disappear just as quickly. The re-write wrote itself. With some help from of us.” The new version, A Queersmas Carol, will speak to a variety of modern-day issues such as gentrification, 2SLGBTQ+ rights, and of course, sexuality. Organizers of the event hope to leave their audience inspired with a love for community, a revitalized respect for theatre, boundless energy for the holiday season, and most importantly, very horny. Mixed media from all performances and future show announcements can be found on Instagram @atlanticboylesque and Facebook.
