The common and recognizable cry of every individual when he meets the administration and bureaucracy, including a certain Blagoj Panajotović (Srdjan Ivanović), who is invited to the recruitment center where he is greeted by a psychiatrist-doctor by the rank of captain Ljudmila Krga ( Mina Lazarevic). There begins a series of vicissitudes and hilarious situations to prove that he is Mr. Panajotović fit or incapacitated for life… This is a story about something that everyone has encountered at least once in their life. What happens when you come to a place where you don’t really like to come? This dynamic play, full of witty dialogues, was created during the corona virus pandemic, because as the actors say, laughter is the best therapy and better than vaccines!

Frankenstein: A New Musical
2023-09-21 19:00 - 22:00
Presented by Mavis Productions

Frankenstein – A New Musical is a stage musical adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, with music by Mark Baron and book and lyrics by Jeffrey Jackson, based on a story adaptation by Gary P. Cohen.

With earnest ballads and soaring ensemble numbers, this compelling musical brings the suspense and romance of the classic tale to life in a uniquely faithful, yet thoroughly innovative adaptation of Mary Shelley’s original novel. In his quest to discover the secret of life, Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, creates a human of his own design that turns out to instead be a horrifying beast. This is no “Hollywood monster,” but a flesh-and-blood man who, while terrifying in appearance, grows to become articulate, cunning, and thirsting for revenge upon the creator who abandoned him. A tragic love story and exploration of humanity, Frankenstein: The Musical breathes new life into the world-renowned story of man and creator pitted against one another in epic battle.

All ages but PG rating due to content. There will be use of flashing lights and fog machine.

Tickets: General Admission – $32.50 ticketing fees included (online purchase) $35 at the door.

COUNTERSTASIS TRIO WITH SPECIAL GUEST KATHRYN LADANO
2023-06-04 20:00 - 22:00
Part of the Open Ears Festival of Music and Sound

Counterstasis is a collaborative improvisation trio formed in 2016, featuring Glen Hall (woodwinds, electroacoustics), Bill Gilliam (piano, prepared piano) and Joe Sorbara (drums, percussion). We work to counter stasis, to foster change, to create a music in which our individual voices can be refracted through the sounds of our co-conspirators.

Our spontaneously composed explorations of gestures and sonorities are connected to new chamber music, free jazz, sound art, experimental, and other creative music traditions. Counterstasis draws on a wide variety of traditional and extended techniques and employs both conventional and bent approaches to melodicism, groove, and chromatic harmony.

In 2019, we released our inaugural CD “Counterstasis – Refracted Voices”, produced with the support of the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council. Our music has been featured by All That Jazz, Electric Sense, One Man’s Jazz radio and Dispersion Lab. As a trio and collaborating with other improvising musicians, we have performed at venues in Toronto and Montreal including shows with guest improvisors such as clarinetist Lori Freedman and vocalist Christine Duncan.

Dr. Kathryn Ladano has established herself as one of Canada’s foremost bass clarinetists. As a specialist of contemporary music and free improvisation, Ladano is a dynamic soloist and in-demand collaborator. She is currently the Artistic Director of NUMUS concerts, the Director of ICE (Improvisation Concerts Ensemble) and instructor of improvisation at Wilfrid Laurier University. Kathryn has released two solo albums, “Open” (2010) and “Masked” (2019).
