Join us for an hour of brand-new poetry, monologues and music!

Our theme for winter 2024 is sound and music. The writers explore harmony and discord through all kinds of sounds from music to snores to silence.

Featuring pieces written and performed by Zachariah Chamberlaine, Mikael  Kivmäki, John Leo, John Millar and Vladislav Nenchev.

The Finns in My Living Room  written & directed by Jarkko Mikkola

Pekka from Sweden (you read that right) is preparing a surprise party for his non-Finnish wife. Both Finns and foreigners are gathered at the house, there is song and merriment. At a joyous event such as this, what could possibly go wrong? What is the absolute worst that could happen?

Almost Perfect  written by Trevor Suthers & directed by Zachariah Chamberlaine

Cast:
Shannon – Arnaud Praplan
Sean – Jacob Jaminet

Forever True  written by Neil Walden & directed by Zachariah Chamberlaine

Man – Paul McGuire

Vent  written by Gavin Harrison & directed by Zachariah Chamberlaine

'Two’s company, three’s a crowd.' Derek obviously hasn’t heard this piece of wisdom, as he brings a friend on his first date with Lisa. A very … special kind of friend. But does Derek’s wingman really have his best interests at heart?

Cast:
Lisa – Charlotte Riley
Kelvin – Mikael Kivimäki
Derek – Matthew Paines

Logical Phallusies  written & directed by Zachariah Chamberlaine & Todd Elliott

Welcome to Logical Phallusies, the game show for arguing with dicks.

One of their biggest handicaps being the host, who is – as tradition dictates – a flashy and unbearable egomaniac.
