Upcoming PWYCans and cheap seats
The e-mails are flying. I list these Pay-What-Cha-Cans in case I accidentally delete an e-mail:
You Are Here
By Daniel MacIvor
Directed by Gregg Henry
Featuring Jennifer Mendenhall with Tim Carlin, Kathleen Coons, Brian
Hemmingsen, Annie Houston, Daniel Ladmirault, Casie Platt, Michael Russotto and
Alexander Strain
October 13 - November 13, 2005
"One of the most moving moments on stage in recent
memory." -- Toronto Star
Set among the infidelities of movie directors, starlets
and magazine writers, "A one woman show with
twelve characters" is how playwright Daniel MacIvor
descibes this OBIE Award winning drama. One of
Canada's most respected theater artists, MacIvor
has written a soul-bearing story of a woman's
attempt to share with the audience the connections
between who she was & what she has become.
But once her tale begins, the characters involved
begin appearing even when she does not want them
to as she loses control and the story of her life
begins to tell itself.
