Book Launch and Author Signing: Call Me Bill by Lynette Richards
2022-10-06 18:30 - 20:30 | The Bus Stop Theatre, 2203 Gottingen Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3K3B5, Canada
Join us on October 6, 2022 at 6:30 pm, as we launch the first title in Conundrum Press’s new young adult imprint, Emanata. Call Me Bill, by Nova Scotia comic artist and stained glass artisan Lynette Richards, tells the well-documented but little-known story of Maggie/Bill Armstrong, a young sailor who died in the wreck on the SS Atlantic in 1873. Award-winning graphic novelist Veronica Post will MC.
A gorgeously illustrated historical graphic novel based on a real person who, defying gender expectations, left home in search of adventure and a more authentic life, Call Me Bill has already received significant praise since its release on September 13th, including a glowing review from Publisher’s Weekly, and a starred review from the Quill & Quire, which stated: “It is easy to see Armstrong as an inspiring model for teenagers that don’t want to conform to gender roles – Maggie/Bill is the type of person who will fight bullies but also muse poetically about nature, and still have time to chat kindly with children onboard the ship”

Gale Force Theatre Presents: Crypthand
2022-09-23 19:30 - 21:30 | The Bus Stop Theatre, 2203 Gottingen Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3K3B5, Canada
Part costume drama, part queer love story, part tragicomedy: ‘Crypthand‘ is inspired by the 19th century coded diaries of Anne Lister. Written by Lily Falk and directed by Laura Vingoe-Cram, this award winning script follows two young girls at boarding school, one raised in England, the other in south India, who find freedom and belonging with each other while the wider world closes in. Three actors take on this vibrant and dense universe playing schoolgirls, religious sisters, characters from Greek mythology, and town councilors. The play is underscored with string arrangements by GaRRy Williams and performed by Alexa Kirste.

On a remote island, just East of Nowhere, Nathalie Grant is waiting: waiting for a very elusive bird to perform it’s legendary dance. One Rare Bird is a story about how we come to see ourselves through other people, or sometimes, other birds. It celebrates the variety, strangeness, creativity and brilliance of bird behaviour and asks the audience to celebrate the same in themselves. It is the story of one woman struggling, adapting, evolving, diverging, fusing and becoming, while she waits for One Rare Bird.

Live leaves falling down, tripping on a short branch. We’ll say it was an accident, how easily their lives end. Fragility, sadly, depending on the weather. Three groups of survivors of an alien invasion struggle to remain hidden. Cast ashore a small island with a mainland view. Where the only way off and the easiest way out are one in the same. A science fiction of alien domination, and what generations move forward triumphantly.

As you are, return to the forgotten land
The spiritual dance-rock soul medicine experience

Tangled up in our robes of limiting beliefs and ancestral trauma, saturated energetically with a collective anxiety and impending gloom, it is a challenge in 2022 to remember who we truly are: boundless beings within whom every conceivable miracle of the universe has the potential to echo.

It is time to return to that forgotten land and singer-songwriter-poet, Jont along with the Heartland Family – a group of close friends who synchronicitously fell into creating this high-energy, at times reflective at times cathartic hybrid electronic music show featuring a string quartet and a full choir – are the people who have come to take you there. They present it for the first time at the Bus Stop Theatre on Thursday August 11, 2022.

All risers will be out – the floor will be an open-flow space to encounter the music, cast of characters and for moving and dancing. Outlandish and expressive costumes that invite you to be fully present asyouare are encouraged! A refreshing dry bar will serve warm cacao, sparkling waters and kombucha on tap.

Ticket holders are invited to join the after-party. After the 2-hour show the theatre will remain open and the energy will continue to expand into an aftershow celebration featuring Heartland DJ sets, dancing and other spontaneous delights. You will leave feeling fully alive – plugged back into the magical electrical socket of the Universe – invigorated, and connected to the essence of who you really are and why and how you want to share your unique expression with the world.

The Skeleton Dance
2022-08-08 16:30 - 20:00 | The Bus Stop Theatre, 2203 Gottingen Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3K3B5, Canada
The Skeleton Dance is a creative movement show for all ages about death. It is a highly physical, energetic, and light-hearted play with elements of clown and puppetry. It is created and performed by Emma James (they/she) and Ella MacDonald (she/her). It runs approximately 30 minutes, invites structured audience participation, and is always followed by a meet-and-greet or talk back. The show is absolutely free to attend due to the generous support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
In The Skeleton Dance, two young children process the news that their Great Uncle Trout has suddenly passed away. They consider the implications of this in an entertaining, irreverent way, where the audience is privy to their many whimsical theories about death. Though the hardship of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Emma & Ella believe that everyone has grieved something, be it a loved one, important events, or normalcy. The goal of The Skeleton Dance is to provoke thought about the ways in which we respond to hardship and comfort one another.
Join us at either 4:30pm or 7:30pm on August 8th at the Bus Stop Theatre.
