CABBAGETOWN THEATRE COMPANY
PRESENTS
THE LUCKY 13TH ANNUAL SLAW FESTIVAL
OF SHORT, ORIGINAL WORKS
TORONTO, May 17, 2007 �The Cabbagetown Theatre Company (CTC) presents The 2007
"Lucky 13th" Slaw Festival, featuring 6 short, fresh and funny
original works at the Cabbagetown Community Arts Centre, 454 Parliament Street
just south of Carlton, from June 7 � 9 and June 13 - 16, 2007. Showtime is 8
p.m., and tickets are $15 with $10 SPECIALS ON JUNE 7 AND LUCKY JUNE 13. Call
(416) 921-3406 to reserve.
Our line-up is the freshest yet, featuring six original works, a Slam Poet and a
Jazz Artist!
After last year's Fringe hit "Humans Anonymous", playwright Kate
Hewlett is back with a heartbreaking new comedy about love, loss - and swearing!
"The Swearing Jar" features Unspun Theatre members Chris Hanratty,
Christopher Stanton and Shira Leuchter and is directed by Kate Hewlett. Chris
Hanratty and Chris Stanton co-wrote the 2006 Fringe hit "Minotaur",
which was directed by Stanton and performed by Hanratty.
The prolific Brent Barkley brings another world premiere to our Slaw stage.
After the success of "The Vodka Talking" and "Flat Busted"
(both in the 2006 Fringe), Barkley has written "The Rub", directed by
Blake Thorne and featuring the talents of Chris Irving and Michael Posthumus.
Bell (just Bell) directs Allison McWood's quirky "Bentley Burnout",
which features CTC veterans Stephen Flett, Rob Candy, Blake Thorne and Lynn
Zeelenberg, plus new addition Zahir Gilani. Alison McWood penned the Fringe 2006
hits "It Was Kit" and "Escape To Eden".
"Chew On This" by Pierce Williams is directed by MC Thompson. Actors
Michelle Cote, Chris Irving and Dave Lapsley are three caged mammals with three
typewriters trying to come up with the "next big thing". Dave Lapsley
was a key member of the performance troupe who brought "The Complete Works
Of God: Abridged" to the Fringe circuit.
Anne Harper directs William McGill's "Incompetent In Love". When a man
looking for self-help (Liam Doherty) enters into conversation with a bookstore
attendant (Nancy Bradshaw), a new chapter opens up for both of them.
The absurdly-amusing "Less Is More Mis�rables" by R.J. Fenton closes
the 2007 Slaw. Directed by CTC's Kim Sprenger, it features the LOL comedic
talents of Elisabeth Feltaous and Brian Ablett.
The Slaw Festival is also extremely fortunate to feature the vocal talents
of Toronto jazz artist Shannon Butcher (www.swingrosie.com/www.shannonbutcher
Due to popular demand, Desserts By Brian will also make an encore appearance at
the 2007 Slaw.
