Leacock Live!
presented by ACT 2 STUDIO WORKS, appears at the ALUMNAE MAIN STAGE THEATRE, 70
Berkeley Street, Toronto, Friday, November 18 at 2:00 & 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, November 19 at 2:00 p.m.
Adapted and directed by Artistic Director, Vrenia Ivonoffski,
from Stephen Leacock’s Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town,
Leacock Live! first appeared in the 2010 Toronto Fringe Festival, where it was Patron’s Pick at the Tarragon Theatre and
one of the top ten listed by The Toronto Star. It lovingly satirizes small-town Ontario life, marrying the magic of physical theatre and the storytelling quality of the Readers’ Theatre genre (where the actors perform with the book in hand)—making the bare stage come alive with humorous characters, song, movement, and live soundscapes.
Tickets are $20 and may be purchased on line; links to the ticketing agency can be found on the Act II Studio website www.act2studio.ca. They may also be purchased at the door, subject to availability.
