SOMETIMES IT SNOWS IN APRIL
2025-04-25 19:30 - 21:30 | The Registry Theatre, 122 Frederick Street, Kitchener, ON, N2H 2L9, Canada
Presented by MT Space

a new work-in-developmenta technical residency between MT Space & Tottering Biped Theatre

A stag hunter and his prey, a young man and his lover, an old man and his dog, a woman, a park bench, a lamppost, and an umbrella. These words begin to scratch the surface of a new work in progress: Sometimes It Snows in April. Performed by a mime and a mezzo (Trevor Copp and Bó Bárdos), Sometimes It Snows in April is a brief and wordless evocation of the mysterious process of grieving and loss.

MT Space is thrilled to welcome Tottering Biped Theatre for this exciting week-long technical residency. Each performance will be followed by a talkback. Your voice and feedback are vital to this creative process. We so look forward to sharing the space and bringing art to life with you.

No registration or ticket purchase is required to attend.

We welcome payments of any amount (pay-what-you-choose) at the box office, before or after the performance.
