away the future really is. Malokaworks.ca

what end?

Salome's Clothes by recent NEPA General Manager Donna-MichelleSt. Bernard
Queen struggles to raise two daughters, sacrificing the
family’s integrity in an attempt to secure short term gain. Salome’s Clothes
illuminates our instinct to ignore the degradation of others in order to
survive: a family saga that speaks to globalized crisis. Are we trading our
children’s future for worthless trinkets? bodytheatre.ca
Late Company by
Jordan Tannahill and recent NEPA Production Manger Rae Powell’s Suburban Beast
A year after a tragedy, two couples sit down to dinner. But
far from finding the closure they seek, the dinner strips bare their good
intentions to reveal layers of parental, sexual, and political hypocrisy.

Competition.
