Award-winning Ottawa based company, May Can Theatre is making their Toronto debut this Fringe Festival with their show Happiness™.
Since its premiere in 2013, Happiness™ has travelled from Ottawa to venues such as Centaur Theatre’s Wildside Festival (Montréal, QC 2016), rEvolver Festival (Vancouver, BC 2016) and had a sold out run at the 2015 Winnipeg Fringe Festival.
Happiness™ is an explosive self-help seminar and product launch for anyone who’s ever wanted it all (and is willing to pay for it). Presented by the HPL™ spokespeople, James Lemon and Peter Barrel (Tony Adams and Cory Thibert) who struggle with their own relentless pursuit of happiness. Can two men who really don’t know happiness sell it?
