NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE, OUTSIDE THE MARCH & TIFT | 2020
As the performing arts sector continues to face unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Arts Centre has responded with Grand Acts of Theatre, an initiative to bring Canadian artists and audiences together. Eleven of Canada’s most innovative theatre companies have been engaged to create and perform large-scale, new works in response to these times, which will be performed outdoors in front of live audiences in various Canadian locations, filmed, and later shared online.
Something Bubbled, Something Blue casts a surreal lens on the concept of a COVID wedding by playfully manifesting the metaphor of personal bubbles as inflatable Zorbs, which will be inhabited by the formally-attired members of a wedding party. Through music, choreography and live art gesture, this piece gamifies the limitations that the pandemic places on communal events. It aims to side-step the false choice between isolation or reckless endangerment, by exploring and exploiting the necessary restrictions that keep us safe but apart.

Based on Frank Wedekind’s groundbreaking and controversial play (once banned in Germany) this brilliant rock score and searingly emotional book take the story of sexual awakening, youth revolt, and self-discovery into a new century. It’s 1891, and grown-ups hold all the cards. With only each other for guidance, this group of young men and women travel the fraught and rocky path of adolescence. An electric, vibrant celebration of youth and rebellion, Spring Awakening fuses issues of morality, sexuality, and conformity into a story that packs a powerful emotional punch.

GRAND THEATRE | 2019
“Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome.” Follow Sally Bowles downstairs as she navigates the nightclub underworld of Berlin on the edge of fascism. Be drawn into the excesses and decadence of a time where everything was possible – until it wasn’t. Considered one of the greatest musicals ever – presented in a gritty, stripped-down, intimate setting that will extend from the McManus lobby and bar to the stage. Come to the Kit Kat Club, if you dare.
“Some stories become more relevant years or decades after they premiere. This musical is set against a backdrop where a brilliant society becomes a scary, scary world: freedoms become restricted, being unique becomes a threat. Sound familiar?”

The Addams Family is a musical comedy with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and the book by Marshall Brackman and Rick Ellice. The show is based upon The Addams Family characters created by Charles Addams in his single-panel gag cartoons, which depict a ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre. Although numerous film and television adaptations of Addams' cartoons exist, the musical is the first stage show based on the characters

ABOUT THE SHOW
This is not your average princess story. A shipwrecked 1950s cruise liner thousands of leagues deep is the grand palace for five little mermaids. Unlike her sisters, happy with a life of dancing, duty and dignitaries, Morgan is sick of swimming in sync. Our heroine is a scrappy mermaid with a curious mind, a brave spirit, and a niggling sense that she doesn’t quite fit in. From family feud to exile, romance, and secret underwater nightclubs, this mermaid must travel through the murkiest depths of the ocean to see if she can fulfill her dreams.
Thrillingly magical, breathtakingly visual, and hilariously mischievous, Little Mermaid promises an amazing family adventure set to a shimmering soundtrack of classic 80s pop.
Mermaid's playwright, Bea Roberts, won the inaugural Theatre503 Playwriting award for her work on And Then Come the Nightjars. In 2015 she won the J.B. Priestley Award from the Royal Literary Fund. She is currently the Writer on Attachment to the National Theatre Studio.

"Federico Fellini’s La Strada (The Road) is one of the true masterpieces of modern cinema, winning the Academy award in 1957 for the movie starring Anthony Quinn. This visually stunning new stage adaptation directed by Olivier Award nominee Sally Cookson (Jane Eyre National Theatre, Hetty Feather West End), boasts a beautiful score by Benji Bower, movement by Cameron Carver and songs performed live on stage by a multi-talented cast."
Over the course of six weeks, the creative team and company responded to this incredible film. It was an intense devising process in which everyone was stretched to their creative limits. Bit by bit, moment by moment, we developed a language for the show, and found it's theatrical form. Utilizing the incredible cast of actor musicians, we created a beautiful ensemble that were able to weave in a out of the central story line, changing characters, instruments and taking on different physical elements such as becoming the sea. Sally, Benji, Mike, Katie and I, collaborated very closely in the room to help shape clarity, and find heart in this iconic piece of cinematography.
