SUMMARY:Matchstick's Playreading Series: Joyride by Michael Melski
DESCRIPTION:For the first instalment of their 2018 playreading series\, Matchstick Theatre presents Michael Melski’s Joyride on Monday\, February 12th at The Bus Stop Theatre Co-op. \nJoyride\, the play that launched the celebrated Cape Breton playwright’s career\, was first performed at the Atlantic Fringe Festival in 1994. It is a reflection of post-industrial Cape Breton\, a setting that is recognizable today. As the author describes it: \n“Most of our old friends had moved off the island for work. Nothing new in that\, but the young faces that were hanging out…seemed strange to me. There was something a little scared\, a little desperate that kept occurring in the eyes. It was two years after the McDonald’s murders. But the wake wasn’t over. Maybe it never will be.” \nIn the play we meet Rachel\, earning minimum wage as a convenience store clerk\, Jess\, working for his father’s seasonal landscaping business\, and Craig\, home on probation and unemployed. With nowhere to go and nothing to do\, the three friends get caught up in a whirlwind. \nA masterful hour of Nova Scotian dialogue\, Matchstick Theatre’s reading of Michael Melski’s Joyride features Kya Mosey as Rachel\, Henricus Gielis as Jess\, and Taylor Olson as Craig\, with stage directions read by Chelsea Dickie. \nThe doors for the reading will be open as of 6:30\, and the reading will begin promptly at 7:00pm. Admission is Pay What You Can at the door\, in support of both Matchstick Theatre and The Bus Stop Theatre Co-op.

SUMMARY:You Have to Plan for the Possibility of Yarn Not Being in a Ball
DESCRIPTION:A collaboration between The Accidental Mechanics Group + Workshirt Opera\, presented by the The Bus Stop Theatre Co-op. \nMichael Lake and STEWART LEGERE react to the year through three short performances\, a surprise to everyone (including the performers). YHTPFTPOYNBIAB is an experiment in connection\, risk\, trust\, and an expression of wild abandon. \nHere’s the situation: \nMichael and Stewart create the performances using a set of objects and a set of rules. \nThe objects are: a piano\, a cake\, a skirt\, a ladder\, a bottle of wine\, a hammer\, five microphones\, and twenty balls of yarn. \nThe rules are: there must be a magic trick\, a dance\, an explosion\, a reunion\, an accident\, a song\, fake words\, and a genuine apology for a specific thing you did to a specific person. \nPART ONE: Michael performs a piece by Stewart\, without prior knowledge of the content. \nPART TWO: Stewart performs a piece by Michael\, without prior knowledge of the content. \nPART THREE: Special guests perform a piece by Michael and Stewart\, without prior knowledge of the content. \nTickets are PWYC in advance\, or $10 at the door.

SUMMARY:David Sedaris' Uncomfortable Christmas
DESCRIPTION:“My kind of X-mas show”\n“Made me cry with joy”\n“Dark humor\, satire\, brilliant acting… don’t miss this show!”\nBest of Theatre 2016 – Local Xpress \nKick at the Dark Theatre Company gleefully announces the remount of their holiday treat\, David Sedaris’ Uncomfortable Christmas. Lightly reworked for a new venue\, this “Christmas show for the rest of us” features three Christmas-themed monologues by humorist\, author and radio contributor David Sedaris\, along with songs performed by local duo Guy & Doll.

Performed by Guy & Doll\, David Sedaris’ Uncomfortable Christmas also features hilarious original Christmas songs by Jonathan Coulton\, The Doubleclicks\, Rachel Lark\, and Tim Minchin. \nThis performance is recommended for those aged 13 and up\, and runs approximately 75 minutes. \nPerformed by Katerina Bakolias\, Jamie Bradley\, Andrew Chandler\nDirected by Andrew Chandler & Jamie Bradley\nMusic by Guy & Doll \nProduced by Katerina Bakolias & Andrew Chandler\nStage Management by Jessica Oliver\nSet by Morgan Melnyk\nLighting Design by Matt Downey\nMedia Design by Sean Skerry \nJamie Bradley and Andrew Chandler appear by permission of Canadian Actors Equity Association.\nStories by David Sedaris are read with the permission of Don Congdon Associates\, Inc. © 1997 by David Sedaris.

SUMMARY:suddenlyLISTEN Music presents: "Applications" with Scott Thomson and guests
DESCRIPTION:Applications\n \nScott Thomson – trombone/compositions (Montreal)\nEmily Denison – trumpet (Montreal)\nAndrew Jackson – trombone (Halifax)\nLukas Pearse – bass (Halifax) \n$20 or pay what you can\, available at the door \nScott Thomson writes: “I’m working on a new suite called Applications\, a series of six linked songs that set the six sections of the poem “Applications of the Doctrine” by Robert Hass\, the celebrated Bay Area poet who was the US poet laureate in the mid-nineties. As with all of my ‘art song’-style composing\, I am writing the suite so that the pieces are modular in nature\, to be sung or played instrumentally by ensembles of different sizes and instrumentations\, and to be animated by different kinds of improvisation. The suite was commissioned by my friend and colleague\, the late Ken Aldcroft for his band\, Convergence\, with singer-dancer Susanna Hood as a guest\, through the Canada Council for the Arts. I am likewise conceiving of the music for other kinds of ensemble –– some radically different in configuration –– and working with the Halifax workshop band as a way to develop and refine the material\, a key part of the composing process for me.” \nPhoto of Scott Thomson\, credit Frank Rubolino

SUMMARY:She Sings as She Flies • Revisiting the Helen Creighton Song Collection
DESCRIPTION:She Sings as She Flies • Revisiting the Helen Creighton Song Collection was conceived by first cousins and longtime creative collaborators Mary Jane Lamond and Laurel MacDonald as a special production of their Patchwork vocal performance project. \nShe Sings as She Flies features Mary Jane and Laurel performing songs from the Gaelic and English language traditions. Joining them are Nicole LeBlanc\, Kirsten Olivia and Naomi Dawn Poulette\, singing selections from the Acadian\, African Nova Scotian\, and Mi’kmaq communities respectively. The songs are integrated with archival recordings and images\, live vocal looping\, sound design and video stage projections. \nThe production looks not only at the rich legacy of the music itself\, but also poses questions regarding the circumstances of Helen Creighton’s work\, and the social and cultural environment then\, and now. She Sings as She Flies is a groundbreaking new production by five uniquely talented Nova Scotian singers\, illustrating the richness\, diversity and complex history behind this unique folksong collection. \nShe Sings as She Flies has been made possible through the generous support of the Nova Scotia 150 Forward Fund and the Helen Creighton Folklore Society. \n\nTickets available at TICKET HALIFAX

SUMMARY:Gabrielle Papillon - Keep the Fire Album Release Show
DESCRIPTION:For a sneak peek at the album: http://bit.ly/2jZK0RO \nKeep The Fire\n“When you come to your knees / when you hold what you need / you will know what to keep\,” sings Gabrielle Papillon near the end of her sixth\, most adventurous album. Hear it as a promise\, hear it as a mantra\, hear it as a weary warning from someone who’s been there—the sweeping and heart-piercing Keep the Fire is packed full of thoughts like this\, wise and poignant\, empathetic and understanding\, open to interpretation. \nPapillon’s music\, too\, is now open to interpretation—though it remains confidently\, almost nonchalantly rooted in folk strumming and gentle vocal phrasings\, on Keep the Fire she has embraced her pop leanings and pushed them to the forefront. The songs pulse with strings and drama\, keys\, and evocative percussion that combine for surprising left-turns\, the kind of thing you’d find on a playlist between Florence Welch and Thom Yorke\, bold without sacrificing emotion. \nThis art-pop progression comes partly from Papillon’s continued relationship with producer and pop-folk whiz Daniel Ledwell\, helmer of her last\, award-winning chart-topper The Tempest of Old. Recording this batch of songs—imagined\, Papillon says\, as a backdrop to life\, a life score—at Ledwell’s Echo Lake studio made for a foundation of strength and collaboration\, which allowed for the new part of her record-making process: Corey LeRue. LeRue\, the EDM pop genius behind Neon Dreams\, lifts Keep the Fire into a new realm with his secret mixing recipes\, adding heft and punch to pretty songs. The approaches may be disparate\, but the result is something thrilling—melodic and catchy\, memorable and affecting. \nIt’s always a letdown when an artist tries new things on record and gives you the same old treatment live. Gabrielle Papillon does not do this—in fact\, her show has evolved faster than the recordings\, a tight three- to four-piece band acting as pillars around its diminutive leader\, who commands any size stage with measured guitar-playing and a casually huge voice mixed in with observational humour. The band is skilful and supportive\, offering meticulously honed musicianship and a familiar interplay that comes from spending years on the road together. In a live setting\, these new songs come to life with vigour and verve. \nSo stay open\, interpret. Sing out\, dance slow. Hold the spark\, keep the fire.
