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. The matinee on the 13th is Pay What You Can. Run time is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes\, with a 10 minute intermission.

SUMMARY:Peter Fechter: 59 Minutes - Presented by Matchstick Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Matchstick Theatre proudly presents its production of Jordan Tannahill’s Governor General’s award-winning play Peter Fechter: 59 Minutes\, this March at The Bus Stop Theatre Co-op. \nHalf documentary\, Peter Fechter: 59 Minutes tells the very real story of two boys who attempt to join the many who defected into West Berlin by crossing the Berlin Wall. The attempt\, however\, results in eighteen-year-old Peter getting shot in the lower pelvis. He lay between the border’s barricades for approximately an hour before dying from this injury. Half conceptualization\, Tannahill expertly navigates these fifty-nine minutes from gunshot to final breath\, exploring what could possibly have motivated Peter to risk his life to cross the wall. What can matter to us so much that we risk everything for it? \nThe play stars Peter Sarty\, Henricus Gielis\, Andrew Chandler\, and Rena Kossatz. The play is directed by Alison Crosby\, stage managed byChelsea Dickie\, produced by Alex Mills\, and designed by Wesley Babcock\, Jordan Palmer\, Anna Shepard\, and Emma Roode. \nTickets are $15 ($12 for students\, seniors\, underwaged\, and Bus Stop Co-op members) and can be booked in advance through Ticket Halifax\, or by contacting matchsticktheatre@gmail.com \nhttp://www.tickethalifax.com/events/51541383/peter-fechter-59-minutes \nPeter Fechter: 59 Minutes opens on March 1st\, and runs for five shows until Sunday the 4th. \nMatchstick Theatre produces contemporary Canadian plays\, striving to ignite\, affect\, and ultimately transform its audience with every performance. We are grateful to be supported by Theatre Nova Scotia.

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.
