4 Projects in One Day!!!

These are indeed busy times for Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Theatre. On Tuesday August 20th, we had activity going on four separate projects:

THE FORGIVENESS PROJECT is currently in workshop, with HHG co-artistic directors Mindy Parfitt and Alexa Devine working with the full creaive team, with a public presentation of our work-in-progress set for Friday August 23 @ 3pm. If you’re interested in attending, please email mindy@horseshoesandhandgrenades.ca  Space is limited. The Forgiveness Project premieres in March 2014.

EXCEPT IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF WAR – Although we can’t show you yet, we’ve just reviewed the promo photos of cast members Robert moloney and Josette Jorge, as well as the mock website of character Tommy Bane’s “The Bane Report”, the rantings and ravings of an irate right-wing shock radio host. We’ll be using this site as a vehicle for Bane’s fictional right-wing agenda, but also as a site for production info and ticket sales.  Except in the Unlikely Event of War opens in November 2013, as a co-production with Pi Theatre.

DAISY – HHG co-artistic director Sean Devine is in Seattle conducting research for his newest play, based on the famous television advertising campaign during the 1964 U.S. presidential election, which produced “the most notorious 60 seconds in television history”. Sean got to interview the son and daughter of famed communications guru Tony Schwartz.

RE:UNION – While in Seattle, Sean Devine is pre-production meetings and photo shoots (phots by the marvellous Truman Buffett) for the Jan 2014 U.S. premiere of our 2011 show. Working in partnership with Seattle’s ACT Theatre and New Century Theatre Company we collected photos of new cast members Darragh Kennan (Norman Morrison) and Jen Taylor (Emily Morrison). Re:Union plays in Seattle in January 2014, before returning to Vancouver at the Firehall in February 2014, and then off to a Canadian festival (can’t say it yet) in Summer 2014.
