An Invitation The Irondale Ensemble Project is delighted to invite you to an evening of new theatre. These two pieces are in process. That is to say, they aren't yet done. Which is the idea. It's time to put them on their feet with an audience to listen and watch. Time to share the ideas with you. 

A bit about the plays (…pieces…works…?)

untitled 
by Stephen Cross 

The industrial revolution was the greatest revolution of the last 500 years.
The other major revolutions of recent history, namely the French, American, Russian and Chinese, have had nowhere near the same global impact. Revolutions are typically violent and purging. The industrial revolution was no different. But it also seems to be ongoing, relentlessly pushing its dogma forward into every crevice of creation. 

Two people, living through this time, our time, caught mid- life in the glare of their own self-doubt, crash head first into each other. One is a counter revolutionary, the other a party faithful, neither are sure why anymore. Nothing in this world is easy, but they learn that with a little effort they can help each other out.

Karen Bassett & Craig Gunn perform this reading under the direction of Stephen Cross.


Grandma Noda 
by Chris Little 

Mr. Noda owns an apartment building in Japan.  He wants to tear down the little old house he grew up in.  The problem is, Grandma Noda won't allow it.  Even if she did, what would all her tigers do?
 
This found object puppet piece uses one Canadian's experiences in Japan to tell a universal story about progress and tradition.

Chris Little is both the writer and the puppeteer behind this piece. 

This Thursday May 13th & Friday May 14th  in the Irondale Space at St. Pat's Alexandra School. Admission is Pay What You Can. The performances begin at 8pm each evening and will run until just about 10pm.

Join us for what promises to be an engaging night of theatre.
