Brother Andre’s Heart

presented by Duchess Productions from Toronto, ON
A comedy about avoidance. Sci-fi, fantasy and spirituality save us from the everyday, offer sounds and images and a twisted kind of hope that both inspires and distracts us. To hear music from a TV show that we already know is going to end well, is to be reminded that some things do turn out okay. Sci-Fi may be avoidance, but it’s also inspiration.

Six people and three crazy conversations. All
during one mass. A husband and wife that hate each other, a mother and
daughter with a strange relationship, and two quirky best friends make
up Sacrelicious - a comedy that takes place all at once under a roof
that wasn’t prepared for this exchange between silly, inappropriate, and
less than brilliant minds.

Book by Leonard Cervantes Lyrics and Music by Kierscey Rand
(www.shotgunweddingthemusical.com)
presented by Quixotic Theatre co-produced by Carlos Bulosan Theatre from Toronto, ON
The year is 1993. An unexpected pregnancy threatens a Filipina debutante’s dream of the perfect 18th birthday. It was supposed to be Toni Braxton on repeat, 18 roses and crinoline. Instead, it’s a game of hide the baby-daddy and morning sickness in between. Girls dig up your darkest lipstick. Guys shine up your pointiest dress shoes. This is our DEBUT.
