Terry Pratchett’s Monstrous Regiment
Socratic Theatre Collective is proud to conclude its third season with a sitespecific production of Terry Pratchett’s Monstrous Regiment, adapted by Stephen Briggs, presented at the Toronto Fringe Festival.
Terry Pratchett’s Monstrous Regiment is the stage adaptation of the thirty-first novel in Pratchett’s award-winning Discworld series. It tells the story of Polly Perks, a Borogravian barmaid who disguises herself as a boy to join the army in search of her lost brother, and the band of misfits who make up her regiment.

Here
Some of the girls say Emily threw herself in front of a bus. And some of them say she did it for attention. Either way, she’s never going to dance again. Here combines multimedia and dance elements to tell the story of a dancer who shreds a major ligament in her knee, forcing her to cope with a world where her dreams will never be realized. Surprisingly, it’s a comedy.Here is the third original piece by writer/director Aaron Jan produced by Hamilton youth company Fulcrum Theatre. Fulcrum was formed in May 2011 by five undergraduates who felt seperate from the theatre scene in Hamilton. Together, they pooled what little money they had, rented a venue and began rehearsing their very first show. This is Fulcrum’s third year of production and Here is their first production outside of Hamilton.

You Won’t Be Here (Tomorrow)
Set in an abandoned studio, this is the story of two estranged sisters. Julie is a recovering alcoholic who has escaped out of rehab. When Simone hears of this, she confronts her sister in an attempt to get her to return. What follows is a dangerous cat and mouse game between the two sisters: secrets are revealed, blows are thrown, and beliefs are shattered.

Contest Rules:
(these will remain the same for each Fringe contest, so take the time to read the list once and you’ll be set)
- The only acceptable form of entry for the contest is by email, sent to contests@mooneyontheatre.com (Mooney on Theatre will never use your email address for anything other than to reply to the specific contest you entered, and we certainly would never sell it or anything like that)
- Each show counts as its own contest, and each entry must be in a separate email. So, if 5 shows are giving tickets away on a given day, and you want to try for each of them, then you need to send 5 emails.
- Entrants must be available on the day and time listed in the contest. The tickets are available for that showing only, and cannot be transferred to another date.
- The winning entrants will be chosen by a random drawing.
- Winners will be notified by email by 9pm on the day of contest closing and need to confirm their attendance 10am AT THE LATEST the following morning so that their names can be given to the theatre company for tickets to be set aside.
- Photo I.D. may be required to claim the winning tickets.
- Tickets must be picked up 60 to 30 minutes before show time at the venue box office. The box office reserves the right to release any tickets not picked up 15 minutes before show time.
- We ask that all winners provide us with a quick blurb on what they thought of the show, either in the comments section of the press release on Mooney on Theatre, or if it has already been reviewed by Mooney on Theatre in the comments section of that.
