"Um, is there alcohol in this?"
"Oh, God, honey, no! What kind of mother do you think I am? Why, do you want a little bit?"
Mean Girls super fans, this one's for you.
Join us at MainLine Theatre to watch a group of Montreal pseudo-celebs breath sweet, alcoholic life back into the most important film of our generation: MEAN GIRLS. And, hey, you can wear pink, even though it ain't Wednesday. All proceeds will be donated to charity!
Doors @ 7:30pm
Show @ 8:30pm
Here's how it works:
10 of your favourite local plastics (les plastiques??) will be onstage reading the script out loud. You will be in the audience. There will be a bar! You wanna have some drinks? Go for it, you had a long week and you deserve it. You wanna see your performers get a little sloppy? GREAT. The audience will be able to buy drinks for the performers to get them right to that level of fun that a live read of Mean Girls deserves. (Though, the performers will set their own limit for how many drinks they can handle. The limit does, in fact, exist. #safetyfirst!)

"Le Collectif Les Tisseuses s’est formé à partir de l’envie de rassembler des femmes et des personnes non binaires autour du jeu théâtral en décloisonnant les pratiques et les imaginaires. Il est composé de huit artistes aux origines, pratiques et vécus multiples.
Les Tisseuses ouvrent leur espace créatif avec une étape de la pièce Notre tour c’est quand?, une proposition scénique intimiste.
La pièce raconte l'histoire des funérailles de Pilar, la matriarche d'un quartier. On y retrouve des femmes aux horizons pluriels venues honorer la mémoire de celle qui a su entrelacer leurs existences en leur offrant la possibilité d’assembler leurs histoires. À travers ce moment de deuil, se tissent des liens qui transcendent les frontières de leur famille, de leur quartier et de leur pays, offrant un portrait poignant de la force des relations féminines et de la sororité.
En se rassemblant à la croisée des cycles de vies, les personnages que vous allez rencontrer s’adressent des questions millénaires, et cheminent au cœur de leurs vérités en nous rappelant qu’il n’est de refuge plus solide que celui de nos solidarités.
La pièce s’achèvera par un échange entre les artistes et le public, permettant de recueillir les impressions de ce dernier. Modéré par la directrice artistique du festival.
The Variations Mile End dancers perform an original choreographed performance using The wizard of oz as inspiration!
What if you entered an empty rehearsal hall and suddenly an audience appears? Joseph Ste-Marie brings his experimental scripted/improvised one-man show, This Show is Broken back to the stage! This remount blends the 2021 Digital Theatre production from the Montreal FRINGE Festival and the original 2015 production at the 2nd annual Shortstanding Festival. Ste-Marie must perform his show as he explores his life, struggles, missteps, and tries to show that it’s not too late to pursue your dreams…. However, Joseph is challenged to be honest with himself so his show can be authentic as possible without being blinded by ambition.
