Excerpt from press release:
Boy meets girl. Boy has broken vaporizer. Girl has bed bugs. Ten Creative Ways to Dispose of your Cremains is not just the longest title ever, it’s a millennial love letter to the misfits of the Peter Pan Generation. Written on the fringe for the Fringe, Ten Creative Ways… is a story about trying to turn a corner, but somehow, always ending up in Trinity Bellwoods with an urn of ashes and six popsicles. From the writer of Oregano at the Storefront Theatre and the director of Plucked at Summerworks, Ten Creative Ways… stars Jakob Ehman and Rose Napoli.
Shortlisted for the Fringe New Play Award, Safewords New Play Contest, Ten Creative Ways… was developed with support from Theatre Passe Muraille and the Ontario Arts Council. Rose Napoli is a Toronto-based actor and playwright and is currently part of the Playwrights Unit at Tarragon Theatre. Her play, Lo (or Dear Mr Wells) will play this fall as part of Nightwood Theatre’s 2017/18 Season in association with Crow’s Theatre.
Helming the production is director Carly Chamberlain. A graduate of The National Theatre School of Canada’s Directing Program, Chamberlain’s recent productions include SummerWorks hit Plucked (Best Production Runner-up, and Now Magazine Outstanding Direction), and the critically acclaimed Much Ado About Nothing at Hart House Theatre (Subscriber’s Choice, Best Direction). Chamberlain was recently nominated for the OAC’s triennial John Hirsch Directors Award.
