Affair of Honor: Multi-Vs

August 29 @ 7:00 PM

Two strangers navigate their way through an infinite slew of universes, fighting desperately to take down the system that's plagued them both. When their minds are corrupted by that very system, they are forced to travel together through time and space, battling with and against each other for their freedom.

NextGen Theatre: Tales from the Hospital

August 29 @ 9:00 PM

A beautifully haunting look at moments in the life of two patients and two staff members in an Alberta Mental Hospital in the 1960s. Originally Produced by The Unconscious Collective in 1998, NextGen Theatre decided it was time to bring this award winning play back to the Edmonton stage.

Dogheart Theatre: The Cabin on Bald Dune

August 30 @ 7:00 PM

Jeanie and Clara are opening a restaurant on Sable Island. During their stay in an isolated cabin, they each realise that what they want most will ultimately lead to their demise. Tensions rise. Do they really know each other? And are they really alone in the cabin, after all?

Old God

August 30 @ 9:00 PM

Old God is a foppish, irreverent oracle. A singer of doom. A weaver of myth. A being so old they have forgotten their own name. Pantomime is performed alongside improvisational feats of language as Old God buries the audience beneath a sea of imagery and play.
