Shadows in ACTION/PLAY

PLAYS BY SHEPARD & MACIVOR

THIS IS A PLAY
written by Daniel MacIvor

When you watch a play a world is created for you full of stories and characters. However, to find yourself listening in on the thoughts of the actors as they move about on stage can be mildly unsettling, startlingly revealing, and uproariously hilarious! Exposed to the turmoil of each actor’s inner thoughts, the evening’s true story will rise to the surface and you will discover why THIS IS A PLAY.

CAST

• OLDER FEMALE ACTOR – Julie MacDonald
• FEMALE ACTOR – Amanda Thorne
• MALE ACTOR – Simon Peterson

ACTION
written by Sam Shepard

A friendly dinner during a seemingly apocalyptic winter finds JEEP, SHOOTER, LIZA & LUPE searching for community, looking for something to eat, trying to find where they left off reading in the book — some sort of ACTION to keep their stories moving forward! Oh, the surprises the dinner offers … join them around the table.

CAST

• JEEP – Ian Murphy
• SHOOTER – Greg Everett
• LIZA – Kat Hall
• LUPE – Annick Blizzard
