God of Carnage
by Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton
Run Dates: April 18 – May 18, 2013
This lively play takes place during a disastrous meeting between two couples whose sons have been involved in a schoolyard brawl. In the beginning, the couples are civilized but the encounter quickly disintegrates into a messy, and hilarious, four-way blowout. All of the etiquette barriers are discarded in this wickedly funny comedy of ill manners and pseudo sophistication in a series of profanity spouting skirmishes and assaults. As the polite masks fall away, accusations fly and allegiances switch back and forth. It’s chaotic, it’s fun and it’s full of insights into our human nature. [Full Story]

Jim & Shorty
by Alex Poch-Goldin
Run Dates: January 17 – February 16, 2013
It's morning in the city. Shorty rolls cigarettes on a bench while Jim looks for change in phone boxes. Big Tom is already drunk. As these men on the fringes of society draw us into their world, they trade stories about doughnuts and smokes, sisters and girlfriends, shelters and welfare. Acts of kindness follow acts of selfishness, and humour keeps pace with despair. We're made privy to the men's dreams and exposed to their flaws; we're moved by their common dilemma. But it's early yet. It's election day, and an aboriginal is running for office. Anything can happen... Filled with abundant humour and sharp insight, life on the street is given a human face as three lonely men fumble to make a connection. [Full Story]
Christmas Belles
by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope & Jamie Wooten
Run Dates:
October 18 – November 17, 2012 | HELDOVER to December 1 !!
A church Christmas pageant spins comically out of control in this Southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. It's Christmas-time in the small fictional town of Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle Sisters…Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye…are not exactly in a festive mood. But ‘the show must go on’, and despite a cast and crew made up of town folk who create problem after problem, and the revelation of a family secret that has been carefully guarded for decades, the feuding sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program the citizens of Fayro will never forget. Their hilarious holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to bring joy to your world! [Full Story]
