Theatre Kingston presents VIGIL - May 01, 2013 - May 04, 2013
Where? Grand Theatre, Kingston
Cost: Adult: $29 Child: $19 Senior: $29
Description: Canadian playwright Morris Panychs classic comedy VIGIL is a brilliantly poignant dark comedy about an unexpectedly extended visit between Kemp, a lifelong eccentric misfit, and his bedridden elderly aunt. Kemps relentless, matter-of-fact outrageousness makes the audience laugh and gasp at the same time, as his good deed of visiting a supposedly-dying aunt quickly wears off  and the two must come to a sort of unusual peace with each other. Holiday rituals, sexuality, children, family life, and death itself  not a subject is safe from Kemps curmudgeonly but often touching commentary, as the last days of Grace stretch into her last seasons. Grace, in her turn, is largely, but not entirely, an observer in the whole affair - knitting, eating butterscotch pudding, and providing Kemp with the audience hes never had before. VIGIL has been referred to as a marvelous dark comedy, rich and philosophically thoughtful by NOW Magazine and a small masterpiece by The Globe & Mail. It was Panychs second major hit, coming after 7 STORIES  and he has since become one of Canadas most internationally produced playwrights  with VIGIL and THE OVERCOAT having received productions around the world. Director Kathryn MacKay (The Clockmaker, The Drowning Girls) returns to her Theatre Kingston roots helming the production starring Kingston-based actors Brett Christopher (I Am My Own Wife, The Clockmaker) and Carolyn Hetherington (Half Life, Driving Miss Daisy). Rounding out the production are designers Ryan Clement, Jenn Stephenson, and Cass Sclauzero with stage management by Kyle Beres. VIGIL runs from April 17  May 4 at the Baby Grand, 218 Princess Street. Tickets available at the Grand Theatre box office, or online at kingstongrand.ca, 613-530-2050

H'art School's Newton & Alice: The Musical - May 01, 2013 - May 01, 2013
Where? The Box - 237 Wellington Street
Cost: Adult: $15
Description: Hart School is proud to announce Newton & Alice: The Musical! will be the first performance by its students in its new fully-accessible performing arts space called The Box located at 237 Wellington Street in Kingston. This lively and inspiring play will run from April 29-May 1 at 6:30 p.m. This original production is based on the third book, Newton & Alice, in our popular illustrated Newton book series. The book will launch during the run of the show. H'art's students are honing their skills in art, theatre, dance, music, media arts and literary arts classes to bring this production to the stage. Artistic director Kathryn MacKay, choreographer Melissa Mahady Wilton and award-winning composer David Archibald are collaborating with them on this amusing and touching spectacular about Newton, a vulnerable young man who confronts lifes daily challenges with an open and kind heart. In this new book and play, Newton will learn what it takes to be a true friend. THE EVOLUTION OF NEWTON Hart published Newton Rides the Bus in 2006 and Newton Finds a Home in 2007. The later was adapted into a musical a year later and Newton Finds a Home: The Musical was performed to sold-out crowds and rave reviews. A local critic noted the students proved to have great comedic timing. Newton & Alice: The Musical! will hit the stage thanks to the support of signature sponsor The Thériault Wealth Management Team | RBC Dominion Securities and the support of Froukje Staal, the Ministry of Health Promotion, the Kingston Whig Standard, and KINCORE Holdings Limited. H'art gratefully acknowledges the support of over 50 community supporters who helped to create The Box at H'art. FOUR MATINEES FOR YOUTH ALREADY SOLD OUT To help raise awareness of the ability of people with intellectual disabilities among the next generation, Hart School has scheduled four matinee performances as well. Local schools and youth groups were offered free matinee tickets. The tickets were snapped up and the entire matinee run (April 29-May 2 at 10:30 a.m) is now sold out. EVENING TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE Evening tickets are now available and cost $15. The proceeds of the play will help support access to performing arts and artistic activities for people who face barriers to participation. Tickets and copies of the new book can be ordered by contacting Hart by hartinfo@hartschool.ca or 613-545-1392. Visit www.hartschool.ca for more information.
