SUMMARY:Phoenix Players Presents: CRACKERS & Debate Debacle (A Comedy Double Bill)
DESCRIPTION:Crackers\nA story of two parrots who are definitely not “birds of a feather.” \nEric\, a fifty-year-old scarlet macaw enjoys reading the paper that lines his cage and watching his favourite daytime soap opera. Then young green amazon parrot Salvadora shows up and occupies the cage next to him. Salvadora is not at all happy and constantly complains to Eric. Eric tries to ignore her but then begins to suspect that Salvadora is much more than the whining boarder she purports to be. \nCrackers premiered in 2012 at the Orleans Star-L’Express Music Rehearsal Hall\, Shenkman Arts Centre\, Ottawa Ontario\, by Tale Wagging Theatre\, directed by Arras Hopkins. This production received an ARTicipate Endowment Fund grant. \nIn June 2015\, a revised version of Crackers was produced by Tale Wagging Theatre for the Ottawa Fringe Festival. \n\nDebate Debacle\nThe Prime Minister’s sudden change in behaviour forces his staff to concoct a wild scheme to cancel a TV debate. \nThe Prime Minister is getting ready for a televised election debate. However\, his sudden change in character to a pleasant\, happy-go-lucky fellow has his staff worried and confused. When the PM’s bizarre behaviour gets out of control\, and involves Martians\, his staff concoct a wild scheme to cancel the debate and get him out of the building.

SUMMARY:GCTC Presents: Jade Circle 玉環
DESCRIPTION:Jade Circle 玉環\nApril 28 – May 10\, 2026 \nwritten and performed by Jasmine Chen\ndirected by Derek Chan | translation by Johnny Wu \na rice & beans theatre production\nin association with Neworld Theatre\na part of The Mother Tongue Project \n\nUsing Mandarin and English\, Jade Circle follows Jasmine\, a second-generation Canadian who has lost her mother tongue. Through intimate interviews with her mother and using music\, movement\, and storytelling\, Jasmine finds her place within the legacy of her matriarchs. As she learns Mandarin\, she unearths the lost stories of her grandmother’s past. \nJade Circle is a love letter to matrilineal relationships. It’s a profound longing for and acknowledgement of where we’ve come from. Jasmine invites memory\, ancestry\, and culture into the room in a ceremony of the things we’ve lost that we might still name and regain. \nA solo show that is a feast for the senses.

SUMMARY:Schubert’s Monumental Ninth Symphony
DESCRIPTION:The evening culminates in Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 9\, often called “The Great\,” a monumental work that expanded the scale and ambition of the symphony. From its open\, spacious horn calls to its propulsive rhythms and exhilarating final movement\, the Ninth unfolds as a long\, gripping journey that steadily gains momentum before landing in triumph. Bold\, expansive\, and deeply physical\, it is a symphony meant to be felt as much as heard. \nThe first half of the concert turns inward\, opening with French romantic miniatures that explore love\, longing\, and vulnerability. At the heart of this set is Hector Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’été\, a cycle of songs that reveals the composer’s most intimate voice\, tender\, melancholic\, and quietly intense. Mezzo-soprano Julie Boulianne brings warmth and emotional clarity to these deeply human reflections on love and loss. \nCompleting the French half is Ophélie\, an evocative symphonic poem by Mel Bonis\, an atmospheric work that heightens the sense of drama and emotion before the orchestra expands fully for Schubert’s monumental symphonic finale.
