JM Drama Alumni presents:

Playground Festival of New Work

The Playground Festival: New Work solicits original works from Waterloo Region playwrights and theatre creators each fall. Several writers are selected to join the Writer’s Circle, an informal group that meets regularly over the course of three months to read, discuss, and develop scripts. This core group evolves into a production team that oversees programming, casting, and staging, collectively preparing their works to be seen for by our region’s enthusiastic theatre audiences.

Featuring 5 fully-staged productions, Playground seeks to explore complex subject matter in a way that activates thought and discussion. The rules of the playground apply well beyond the primary school years: we all must share space, take turns, take risks but also take care of our friends. And the most fun is always had when there’s a touch of danger . . .

The shows this year are "Dear Baby", "501", "You Smile", "all of the things we're taking", and "Dark"

For Further Information on the plays and when they are performing please visit the Playground Festival Website

Transformation from Bystander to Upstander Training

This training aims to bring awareness about how seemingly minor interpersonal biased interaction may lead to serious incidents and how to prevent harm through a restorative justice approach if such an incident occurs. The training will include an exercise on the continuum of harm, a hands-on activity to find possible alternatives to real life biased scenarios, a component on Islamophobia and a Q&A.

Happening in Our Community

So - what exactly IS Blind Date Musical Theatre? Here's the deal: You will hear the entire script, and all the songs sung to the stellar accompaniment of pianist Jason White. The cast will hold their scripts and scores (although some folks may be "off book" for parts of the show). There's no set and no costuming apart from bits and pieces for fun. Movement among the cast will be largely improvised so you'll see actors following their artistic impulses and making discoveries right before your eyes.

Saturday, June 1st at 7:00 PM
First United Church, Waterloo
