PRODUCTION INFORMATION
PLAYlist is a site-specific spectacle of music and new writing that expands the community of our big little theatre. Join the ensemble and our extraordinary line-up of guest artists for a one-night-only celebration at the historic Trades Hall.
Each room harbours a song. Each song sparks a play. Then it’s over, before you know it. PLAYlist invites audiences to explore the space, experiencing a different play with a different song and rubbing shoulders with actors and musicians as they move through each room.
From a mermaid couple in crisis to supermarket turf wars; from a million versions of a single conversation to disconcerting visions of the future, unique and fascinating corners of the venue will host brand new original short plays inspired the theme “Think Again.”
