Petits, Joey et Michel adorent se mettre en scène dans des spectacles qu’ils offrent à leur famille et amis. Difficile, autrement, d’afficher leurs vraies couleurs dans le Québec ouvrier des années 60 et 70 où ils grandissent. Pour s’affranchir de cette dure réalité, Michel et son frère Joey trouveront leur voie dans la scène artistique. Ce dernier poursuivra une prolifique carrière d’acteur à Vancouver, alors que Michel brillera sur la scène drag montréalaise. Puis, viendra l’ultime libération : Michel deviendra Michelle, la femme qu’elle a toujours été, au fond d’elle. Jusqu’au jour où les forces extérieures auront raison de son identité véritable. Est-il possible de s’épanouir réellement lorsque nous ne correspondons pas aux rôles que la société nous impose ? 

La pièce Trout Stanley de Claudia Dey se déroule dans le nord de la Colombie-Britannique, à la périphérie d'une ville minière entre Misery Junction et Grizzly Alley.

Pendant que Grace travaille dans le dépotoir, Sugar, confinée à la maison, est surprise par un mystérieux vagabond, un nommé Trout Stanley, fétichiste des pieds et faux policier, qui cherche le lac où ses parents se sont noyés. Il est rapidement pris dans un triangle amoureux surréaliste.

Aalaapi | ᐋᓛᐱ – enriches our lives with a nuanced understanding of contemporary Inuit experience. Combining the aesthetics of theatre and radio, the project takes us to the North. The focus is on two women living in Nunavik; over a long arc, we watch their lives play out. A radio is the centrepiece in their domestic setting, and through it come the sounds of an audio documentary. We listen along with the women, and eventually the broadcast comes under scrutiny in a process informed by ethical and political concerns. Aalaapi has surtitles in English and French.

Passeport is a play with a documentary edge. New comers from our community share their stories with us. What made them leave their Country to move to Alberta. A quest filled with challenges, but most of all, hope.

Isabel is a precocious 11-year-old whose small town would be an ideal place if it weren’t losing its businesses to a mega-mart that has recently moved in, and losing its sense of place and culture to modernity.

Look At The Town! is performed in and around a completely-realized miniature town, complete with buildings, roads, parks, a school, and the local skating rink. Kids and adults alike love taking a tour before the show, and staying afterwards to explore the detailed little world.
