The audience arrives to find that they have all signed up via craigslist to be guinea pigs in a Danish girl's dream experiment. What emerges through the fast-paced physical humour are the honest efforts of an outcast child who entrusts a group of strangers to help fight her darkest battle. Shadow puppetry, music, and dark Danish fables.

How many times can you say 'pull my finger' before it's ripped off and eaten?
Canadian premiere! In 2004, Anthony Johnston and Nathan Schwartz wrote a prank letter to a fundamentalist “ex-gay” group asking for funds to produce their play Never Cry Wolfman. To their surprise, the letter was answered and they were invited to workshop the show at the organization’s retreat in rural British Columbia - under the condition they also spend two weeks participating in gay conversion therapy. Years later, the friends reunite to tell their story as a piece of theatre.

A collection of honest, preachy-free confessions about virginity and sexuality. Four actors use the power of mask to transform into 20+ characters (aged 15 -70) whose stories take us from British Columbia to Newfoundland, gay to straight to bisexual to transsexual, innocent to cruel, underwhelming to glorious, heartbreakingly raw to side-splittingly funny. Mature themes.
