Corporate Rage at the Toronto Fringe:

The Nature of a Bullet

The Nature of a Bullet is about Dave. Well, Dave… and his co-workers. His father. His boss. And a brief stint with the law. Written and performed by Nick Dipchand, this play follows one man’s potential rise to the top in a world somewhat foreign to the arts: the corporation.

This new Canadian work by Ryerson grad Nick Dipchand has literally been years in the making. Six years ago The Nature of a Bullet began as a writing exercise that Nick wrote in the voice of one of his teachers. It then became a full length play for the New Voices Festival in 2011 and now it’s hitting the Toronto Fringe! NovelSidewalk Theatre Company is thrilled to be presenting this unique work at the Theatre Passe Muraille Backspace.

Madeleine Jullian, co-founder of NovelSidewalk, is directing with lighting design by Mikael Kangas and stage management by Allie Renzetti.

It’s time for Toronto theatre to get a little more… corporate.

“We Are The Bomb” by Kat Sandler at The Paddock Tavern (Queen and Bathurst). 11 performances from July 3 – 14, 2013

Theatre Brouhaha returns to the Toronto Fringe Festival with a new, original show titled We Are The Bomb by Kat Sandler, to be staged at the historic Paddock Tavern at 178 Bathurst St. (Queen and Bathurst).

Synopsis of We Are The Bomb

On the eve of modern prohibition in Canada, a group of would-be revolutionaries declare their favorite bar to be a sovereign nation. Things quickly go awry and a couple on a first date find themselves caught in the middle. As the new nation self implodes, the situation rapidly escalates leaving a trail of destruction. Fringe audiences will sit amongst the chaos and observe as this would-be revolution unfolds.

Julie and Sonya meet as teenagers in the small Métis -French town of Blue Moon, Ontario. Complications arise when they both fall in love with Christian, and sacrifices are made by all. Heartfelt and funny, BLUE MOON GIRLS asks: What is real love? …and perhaps more importantly: What does it cost?
