Two nights only: May 14 & 15 at 7:30pm (doors 7pm) · 60 minutes
What happens when four physical theatre veterans are set loose in a studio to make the most playful improvised hour they can?
Aaron Malkin and Alastair Knowles (James & Jamesy), Nayana Fielkov (Ragmop Theatre), and Chloe Ziner (Mind of a Snail Puppet Co.) bring international touring credits and critical acclaim to a live, unscripted experiment in clown and improv.
A live camera joins the game—becoming character, scene partner, even set. Structure dissolves. Comedic risk-taking takes over. The only rule: keep playing.
Who wins? Who loses? Who cares? The joke is always on us.
Driven by a relentless pursuit of play—from the blink of an eye to the swing of a chandelier—these four performers chase the absurd wherever it hides.
Witness a gleefully unhinged experiment in avant-garde theatre.
With a large and entertaining cast of characters, Puss ‘n Boots: A Tale of a Tail follows the story of a simple Miller’s son, an adventurous princess and a very mysterious and clever cat… as they put their bravery (and swimming skills) to the test, in order to save the ones they love!
A production by a Driftwood Theatre School class, directed by Gabriel Leonard Ditmars. Genres: Adventure, Comedy, Romance, Fantasy. Written by Steph DeFerie; inspired by the classic fairy tale written by Charles Perrault & Giovanni Francesco Straparola

The Death of Me
When John bargains with the Angel of Death for a second chance at life, he quickly discovers that fixing the mistakes of your past is difficult, and that perhaps his destiny is not yet etched in stone. Directed by Justin Huston
My Narrator
Imagine what would happen if that little voice inside your head—the one that tells you how to behave and what choices to make—suddenly took on a life of its own? For Lacy and Miles, love is what happens, and with hilarious results. Directed by Lynn McDonald
