Tickets for Corpus on sale now

 

Two shows already sold out! Don't miss your chance to get tickets.

 
“Corpus means ‘body of work’ so we tell the story of this genocide scholar who very obsessively creates her own body of work ... It is fiction, but the plot is very plausible.” (Darrah Teitel) — Mike Cohen of the Jewish Tribune

What the Cast and Crew are saying about Corpus:


"I needed to write about the Holocaust from the perspective of the third generation. My life was so full of this dark history and I needed to confront that in a play that is humorous and irreverent. Corpus succeeds because it's as entertaining and contemporary as it is thoughtful and sober." — Darrah Teitel, Playwright 

"Corpus is smart and daring, funny and dark; examining how in the pursuit of truth, what we want to see can cloud our vision of what truly is." — David Di Giovanni, Assistant Director
 
"One might think 'not another Holocaust story...' But this play is not about the Holocaust, it's about us and how we carry the marks of history under our skin: a history that we are sometimes inspired by, some other times ashamed of. Corpus brilliantly reveals how history generates creativity with our constant need to reinvent and re-write it, in order for us to become a part of it." 
— Audrey-Anne Bouchard, Lighting Designer 
Corpus Panel Discussions
The panel discussions will take place immediately following the Sunday matinees at 4:45 PM.
 
Nov. 16- Artist’s Panel: What sort of responsibility does an artist undertake when creating or participating in a piece of art involving war? What needs to be taken into account when recounting events through art that have had such long-lasting effects on a community?
Moderator: Sudha Krishnan (CBC)
Panelists:
Darrah Teitel (Playwright)
Myrna Selkirk (English Professor)
Liz Valdez (Director)
Ian Geldart (Actor)
Susan Bain (Actor)
 
Nov. 23-  Where do we Draw the Line? As much as we attempt to do so, we cannot enter into the past or view it through a transparent window. Do you think it is a help or a hindrance to historical memory to apply personal stories in modern day research? Where do we draw the line between personal stories and academic work?
Moderator: Sudha Krishnan (CBC)
Panelists:
Sarah-Jane Kerrlapsly (Canadian Jewish Association)
Bob McBryde (Amnesty International)
Jacqueline Celemencki (Holocaust Memorial Centre)
 
Nov. 30- Digitizing the Past: We are now living in a society that has access to technology that was not available to the previous generations. With this in mind, do you think it is this generation’s responsibility to continue interpreting the events of the Holocaust and other historical atrocities? What barriers does technology break down, and what drawbacks does it create?
Moderator: Meghan Pearson (Commuications Coordinator)
Panelists:
Stacey Zimbriski (Historian and Professor)
Ted Little (Professor)
