EVERY DAY ABOVE GROUND
Feb. 28 to Mar. 11, 2007
(inspired by The Collected Works of Billy the Kid by Michael Ondaatje)

Since Theatre Kingston presented their production of Hatched in 2003, SaBooge Theatre has gone on to win awards and accolades in New York, Dublin, London, Toronto and Montreal. We are proud to present their latest creation, in which SaBooge’s trademark visual storytelling, live music and innovative sound design are matched with Ondaatje's rich literary investigation of one of the most volatile and grotesque figures in western mythology. Memory, madness, violence and survival are all compellingly explored in this visually and aurally intriguing work.

CANDIDA
Apr. 11 to 22, 2007
by Bernard Shaw
Directed by CRAIG WALKER.

In this classic comedy, the Rev. James Morrell, is a charismatic public speaker who regularly converts his listeners with passionate arguments in favour of his advanced political views. He is happily married to the charming and beautiful Candida. One day she comes home with the romantic and sensitive young aristocratic poet, Marchbanks, whom Morrell had rescued months before when he was found sleeping on the Thames Embankment. When Marchbanks confesses to Morrell that he is in love with Candida, a confrontation is inevitable, and Candida finds herself forced to choose between the two men in one of Shaw’s most brilliantly written and moving scenes.

The Four Horsemen Project
March 13–April 1, 2007

What is a poem? In the 1970s, four Canadian sound poets turned the literary world on its ear. Now, director Ross Manson and choreographer Kate Alton have teamed up to bring us a playful tribute to the poetry of The Four Horsemen and a cheeky love-in with the swinging seventies. An outtasight, multi-media extravaganza with dance, song, video and animation that everyone can dig! So far out, it's back in.

Helen's Necklace
April 17–May 6, 2007

Helen is a visitor from Canada. Determined to find her lost pearl necklace, she embarks on a wild taxi ride through the dusty streets of war-scarred Beirut. When Helen comes face to face with the city's inhabitants — a construction worker, a mother, an angry man and a souvenir salesman — she must reconcile her own loss with the suffering of others. Helen's Necklace is a transcendent play about things lost and found.
