Tear The Curtain
The opening production of the 2012 - 2013 Season. Alex is a jaded theatre critic in a gritty film noir
rendition of 1930s Vancouver. When he falls for the screen siren Mila, he's caught dangerously between two warring mob families – one controlling the city's playhouses, the other its cinemas. At the dawn of the Talkies, can Alex tear through the artifice of these art forms without selling his soul – or losing his mind?
In this new production of the genre-bending West Coast hit, the action moves from screen to stage and back again, resulting in a groundbreaking hybrid theatrical experience.
A penetrating examination of art and our human need to both create and consume it, Tear the Curtain!
blurs the boundaries between film and theatre in a stylish psychological thriller brought to life by director and Canadian Stage Resident Artist Kim Collier.

S O U L P E P P E R T H E A T R E Speed The Plow David Mamet's savage insight into the morals (or lack
thereof) involved with producing Hollywood blockbusters sees two executives gamble their integrity for profit, only to be complicated by a surprise dissenting perspective. In Mamet's hands, quaint notions of loyalty,
integrity, and straight talk become mere pawns in this scathing comedy.
