Who, Me.

Doctor Who is about to face his greatest challenge: his number one fan. Rob Lloyd from Doctor Who: Earth Conquest (BBC America) is putting The Doctor on trial. Is Doctor Who (the television show) guilty of inciting in Rob a debilitating obsession, or has it shaped him into a well-rounded, mentally-sound member of society.

Madeline Says Sorry

When failed actor, Madeleine, kidnaps a beloved dog she is quickly alienated from society. As a result, she must attend apology rehab to make amends with the animal—perhaps her greatest challenge yet. From part of the creative teams behind NSTF 2017 sell-out, Silk Bath, (NNNN) and Fringe 2016 hit, Rowing, (Mooney on Theatre Critics’ Pick) comes a rapid-fire dark comedy that examines who we choose to feel sorry for, and how we seldom really mean it.

Bugger the Butterfly! (Or My Sci-fi, Hollywood Adventure)
6:30PM on July 6 at The Theatre Centre’s Franco Boni Theatre. (1115 Queen St. W.)
Ever wondered what happens after we figure out time travel? Hollywood would have us think it’ll all be evil-doers and paradoxes. But imagine instead, a future where time travel has become mundane, where history is only a plaything for a populace over-saturated with media and celebrity. Where, instead of changing the massive scope of human history, we decide to just nudge a favourite performer in a different direction? Celebrity–filled, boozy, irreverent, and just a little bit gay, Bugger the Butterfly! answers Cher’s question for the ages – what would you do ‘if you could turn back time’?
