Toronto, ON — June 1, 2015 — NovelSidewalk Productions presents New Order & The Grand Hysteric: A Double Bill by Sheldon Rosen this June 18-20 at the Abrams Studio Theatre located at 44 Gerrard St E, Toronto, Ontario.
In The Grand Hysteric, a classic of Sheldon Rosen’s repertoire, a young man with the help of his therapist hopes to nail reality to the wall for a more thorough examination of what is versus what maybe is. New Order will have its world premiere with this production and tells the tale of Jay, a young man jolted out of his complacency and routine by a phone call and an holographic adventure who returns home determined to be a more appropriate being for the approaching future.
Directed by Nick Dipchand and performed by a cast of Ryerson Theatre School students and graduates, this double bill will pay tribute to Sheldon Rosen’s early works. Sheldon Rosen’s plays have been produced on Broadway and at the Stratford Festival, as well as in San Jose, Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto. As a teacher, Sheldon has energised countless theatre students to create their own work, especially through the New Voices Festival at the Ryerson Theatre School.
Advance tickets are $15.00 and can be purchased through sheldondoublebill.brownpapertickets.com. Tickets at the door will be sold at $20.00. Performances start at 7:30pm. Check out www.novelsidewalk.com for details.
