SUMMARY:HomeFirst Theatre presents The December Man by Colleen Murphy
DESCRIPTION:The December Man won the Governor General’s Award for Drama in 2007 and is inspired by one of the most tragic and significant incidents in our country’s history\, the École Polytechnique Massacre on Dec 6th\, 1989. Murphy’s play deals with the fate of a bystander who witnessed the event and could/did not act. The December Man is the story of how he and his family were tragically affected. For those of us who remember it vividly\, this play helps us to understand the terrible aftermath that still lives with us. For a generation that wasn’t born when it took place\, The December Man is a revelatory experience. With mass shootings on the rise and gender-based domestic violence at an all-time high during Covid-19\, this examination of ‘the bystander effect’ in The December Man is startlingly relevant to Nova Scotians and beyond. \nTickets: Regular $25.00\, Underwage/Accessible Price $15.00 \nTickets are being sold online until two hours before curtain\, and can be purchased here.

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?
