«World Premier

Theatre like you never have!  Is that woman beside you part of the show or just strange?

Are those policemen actors who are arresting the young man?   Nope.

Fifteen plays from 45 seconds to 13 minutes long, in places you'd never expect.

In our past events, some plays have been performed in store windows, garbage dumpsters, back alleys and

thirty feet below street level through a grate in the sidewalk. The line between reality and imagination becomes blurred when you aren't sure what is a play, and what is the usual natural theatre of downtown Kitchener.
