Pat the Dog Playwright Centre continues its popular piece/meal reading series with an exciting, expanded
version.

We’ll  be serving up a light meal and four new, full-length theatre pieces — all of which originated from our
playwright centre. The smorgasbord of plays includes a mix of works from playwrights across the province and is accompanied by food and the launch of a visual arts installation in the historic Button Factory. Attendees to the
November 16 session will be the first to see Gareth Lichty’s newest creation.

The Gods and Calvin Brewer by Jessica Anderson, who won 3rd place in 2010 24-Hour Playwriting contest.
Ancient gods and Greek food make for a classic-themed start to the series.

Wednesday February 8, 2012

Neighbours by Allie Bell, winner of the 2011 24-Hour Playwriting contest.

Wednesday March 7, 2012

First Dance by Trevor Copp. Two gay men set about creating a dance for a ritual that has no history. Wedding
cake will accompany this intriguing physical movement piece.

Wednesday April 11, 2012

This is My Drum by Heather Majaury. This piece honours the thundering silence and the dancing through that connects to prayer when there is little left to say about anything. Be advised, there will be mature content, strong language and sexual themes. Would you expect anything less?
