THEATRE PROJECTS
MANITOBA (TPM)
W
Featuring the world premiere of a timely
drama about children and land, and a
double bill with two of Winnipeg's most
promising solo theatre talents, the 26th
season of Theatre Projects Manitoba (TPM)
will bring you to the edge and push you
off!
In January, a double bill gets intense,
comic, and travels through time! TPM
Encounters (January 7–17) features
Fraz Vs. The Future and Village Ax – perfect
help to laugh off the dark of winter.
In March, Reservations (March 10–20)
inserts us into two stories; a dispute
between foster parents and the Aboriginal
CFS agency responsible for their children
and the philosophical and spiritual
decision of a Mennonite farmer who gifts
his land to the Siksika Nation. Artful,
entertaining and provocative, Reservations
asks tough questions about our home and
native land.
All shows at the Rachel Browne Theatre,
