Egg Rolls with Andy

These informal pre-show chats allow audiences to participate in a conversation between Andy McKim, Artistic Director and a creator/contributor from each production in the season. Starting at 6:45 pm on the Cab Stage, these candid conversations will offer insight into the creative process, a chance to meet Andy, and egg rolls. Actually.

Wednesday after Opening of TPM Productions @ 6:45pm

Talk Backs

Talk Backs follow every Tuesday night performance of TPM productions. Stay in your seat after the show and get a chance to ask those burning questions it may have inspired. Hosted by a member of TPM staff, Talk Backs are a great way to meet the performers in our season.

Post-performance on Tuesdays of TPM Productions

After Hours @ TPM

We welcome a variety of artists who are creating new and exciting work to present on our Cab Stage throughout the season following Mainstage performances. And it’s all happening after hours, which means the bar is open.

Impromptu Splendor

The National Theatre of the World presents these spontaneous theatrical marvels on the last Sunday of every month. Their brilliant actors bring fresh, artful and provoking spectacle to life! In the fashion of a cunning one-act play no less! Wow! Every show is an opening night party, not to mention a closing. A new improvised Canadian play every month. They also host an exultation of glamorous, popular and perhaps even famous guest stars……plus there’s a bar and a 98% chance of nudity.

Last Sunday of every month @ 9pm

The Buzz Festival

Buzz is a tri-annual work-in-development festival. Artists present fifteen to thirty minutes of new work, be it the re-working of a scene or the first bit of a new piece. After each presentation, live music plays while the audience writes down their answers to the questions the playwright or company has asked about their piece. Inspired by the idea that work should be developed alongside an audience, rather than in isolation, Buzz gives creators the opportunity to receive specific feedback from their best allies: the audience. Audience as dramaturge.

November 2011 and April 2012
