Drinking Habits
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and hilarity ensues…
Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancées, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

Sansei: The Storyteller
With compassion and unexpected humour, Kunji Ikeda tells the tale of the hardships faced by the Japanese community in Canada. Weaving together dance, narrative theatre, historical audio, and family recollections, Sansei: The Storyteller is a moving piece of work that illuminates the rampant racism faced by the Japanese community since the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. A multi-award winning masterpiece from a storyteller like no other, Sansei shares Ikeda’s discovery of where he came from, how his family navigated their histories, and all that the past generations have faced. This uplifting message of hope and perseverance redefines the way we tell stories and is not to be missed.
