Great Expectations presented by Persephone Theatre
Remai Arts Centre, 100 Spadina Crescent East
From the author of A Christmas Carol comes this heartfelt tale of growing up, love, and loyalty.
Young Pip is a blacksmith’s apprentice without “expectations” until a secret benefactor changes his fortunes; surely it can be no coincidence that this
follows his introduction to the eccentric Miss Havisham and her beautiful but cold-hearted adopted daughter Estella. Pip’s life as a fine gentleman proceeds just as
planned until he makes a shocking discovery. |

Gordon Winter (Deep End Series) presented by Persephone Theatre
BackStage Stage, Remai Arts Centre, 100 Spadina Crescent East
There are many ways Gordon Winter can be described:
residential school survivor, RCMP hero, life-long
champion of First Nations rights, and bigot. In this
topical new play by Kenneth T. Williams, we delve into
the complicated history of a man who has fought
oppression his entire life and yet clings
unapologetically to his own prejudices. |

important news, good-hearted Allan and Charlotte fill us
in on all the unexpected events that brought them to
this moment. This prairie comedy sees two actors playing

Lawrence and Holloman presented by Persephone Theatre
Remai Arts Centre, 100 Spadina Crescent East
Lawrence is overconfident, extroverted, and never at
a loss for words; while Holloman is timid, uptight, and
reclusive. Following a chance encounter, this modern odd
couple becomes the best of friends and the worst of
enemies. Now poor Lawrence, who has always known
everything about anything, can’t understand why his luck
has taken a downturn. But, lucky for us, in this wicked
comedy things can always get worse. |

Velocity (Deep End Series) presented by Persephone Theatre
BackStage Stage, Remai Arts Centre, 100 Spadina Crescent East
15 year old Dot has decided to do her school project
on the physics of falling objects. And what could be a
better “object” than her dad, a fast ascending business
man. Once she blows him out of the window of his office
on the 73rd floor she figures he’s got 6 seconds before
impact. Of course she hasn’t factored in her dad’s
resistance, her neurotic mom, or her over-involved
frenemies. At times hilarious and at other times horrific,
Velocity is the story of a precocious girl whose
desperation for someone to give a sh** has leads her to
extreme measures, and takes us on one wild ride. |

gold. |
