Memorable Moments

October 17-20 & 24-27

2024

Witness a breathtaking solo performance in "Sea Wall" by Simon Stephens that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Explore the story of a devoted husband, a proud father, and a successful photographer named Alex, whose good fortune slips out from beneath his feet without warning, leaving Alex as a shell of the man he once was. Directed by Alex Crowther, and brought to life by the exceptional Toby Farrell.
In "The Black Chair" written by Peter Paylor, audiences will uncover the intimate stories of fascinating characters as they interact with a mysterious old wooden black chair. There's James, an older gay man, he's a "dandy", and there's Anne who works at the mall, she's young and naïve. There's Jeff, an engineer who keeps everything in, and Tina, who puts it all out there. And there's Mary, the caretaker. She's the one with the keys. Featuring the dynamic directing duo of Alexandra Bell and Darren Moore and an all-star cast.

"Ignoring you won't be a problem. Establishing a relationship with this chair might take some work. I’m a little rusty when it comes to relationships. I used to have so many, you know...two or three at a time. Serious relationships too, not just crushes and flings. Not just sex either, if that's what you think. I broke hearts. You wouldn’t know it, but I was a dandy once.
