End of the Line (CLOSING PERFORMANCE)
2024-05-12 14:00 - 16:30 | Asper Centre for Theatre and Film – U of W, 400 Colony St, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3B 2P3, Canada
A Co-Production with Walk&Talk Theatre Company

End of the Line is a new musical that tells the story of Heart City – a coastal community destroyed in an instant as a dam breaks and a river crashes through countless lives on its way to rejoin the sea. We follow the interwoven stories of eight strangers and their subtle self discoveries as they discover their most authentic selves just before they are destroyed. With one final party, we celebrate the life and the death of Heart City.
A new piece of theatre filled with catchy songs & thoughtful lyrics, bursting at the seam with evocative & hilarious text, and brought to life with innovative staging and choreography. The performing ensemble is filled with Winnipeg’s fiercest young performers who are making waves as they hit the scene: singer-songwriters, opera singers, dance artists and more!
Featuring a wonderful team of hometown heroes: Written by Ben Townsley, Music/Lyrics by Duncan Cox, Movement Score by Tanner Manson, Directed by Andraea Sartison, Music Direction by Paul De Gurse, and an ensemble of fresh feisty talent (Kamal Chioua, Duncan Cox, Victoria Hill, Montana Lehman, Devin Lowry, Tanner Manson, Hera Nalam, Ben Townsley, and Jean van der Merwe) this is a party you don’t want to miss!
“End of the Line has been a labour of love from everyone involved. Walk&Talk is so excited to be a part of this iconic moment with Theatre Projects Manitoba as their first premier of a new musical! This show pulls on all the right heartstrings and plays them to create earworms that will get stuck in your head. This is everything you want in theatre: laughs, good music, and a loveable-but-gross pool salesman.”
-Tanner Manson, Artistic Producer – Walk&Talk Theatre Company

This Is the Story of the Child Ruled by Fear (PWYD MATINEE-CLOSING PERFORMANCE)
2023-04-30 14:00 - 16:00 | Théâtre Cercle Molière, 340 Provencher Blvd., Winnipeg, Manitoba, R2H 0G7, Canada
This Is the Story of the Child Ruled by Fear by David Gagnon Walker (A Strange Victory Performance)

After their successful runs across the country including High Performance Rodeo, and SummerWorks, we are so excited to welcome Strange Victory Performance to Winnipeg for the Manitoba premiere of this experimental theatre collaboration with audiences.
David has written a play for himself and a gathering of friends and strangers to read together out loud. It’s the story of the rise and fall of an imaginary civilization in an imaginary land. A poetic fable about how to live with the slowly unfolding emergencies of our world, it’s also an invitation to join in on the artistic process, and a testament to the power of a roomful of people discovering a new story together.

Created by a team of award-winning artists from across Canada, This Is the Story of the Child Ruled by Fear invites you back to the theatre after this long, strange time, asking you to help tell a story about worry and wonder, loneliness and community, beauty and fear.

Written and performed by David Gagnon Walker, directed by Christian Barry and Judy Wensel, multimedia design by Tori Morrison, physical design by Morgan Melenka.
Participate according to your own comfort – read for a character, join the chorus, or sit back and watch – and join this humorous, cathartic exploration of our innermost private fears.

TPM has always been the home of Manitoba Playwrights and we couldn’t be more pleased to bring you this World Premiere by Winnipeg treasure, Ellen Peterson. This apocalyptic fable follows a trio of aging ex-vaudevillians who are inextricably tied together even as they goad each other to the brink. A play about garbage, longing, Niagara Falls, and our inescapable interconnectedness–for better and worse. It’s the end of the world seen through the incomparable imaginative lens of one of Winnipeg’s finest playwrights.
Featuring a stellar team of local artists, Alissa Watson (The Paper Bag Princess – PTE, founding member of The Red Nose Diaries and The Talentless Lumps), directs Monique Marcker (Albertine in Five Times, The Elmwood Visitation, North Main Gothic), Simon Miron (A Winter’s Tale – SIR, Orlando – RMTC, Artistic Director of the Village Conservatory), and Jane Testar (Winter’s Tale – SIR, founding member of Outside Joke, and Hot Thespian Action) with Assistant Director Carol-Ann Bohrn, and designers Joyce Licup, Brenda McLean, Ksenia Broda-Milian, and Emma Hendrix.

A More Relaxed Performance at TPM…

Relaxed Performances are open to everyone and intended specifically to be sensitive to and welcoming of anyone who may find the usual theatre environment challenging or inaccessible, including people who are sensitive to loud noises or bright lights, have babes in arms, may have difficulty sitting through a 90-minute performance, may need to take a break from more intense moments, and those who use technological aids take in a live performance.
Everyone’s needs are different so we are intentionally calling this a More Relaxed Performance, acknowledging there are aspects of the show that are integral to the story-telling that will likely still be intense for some audience members.

What You Can Expect
In a More Relaxed Performance, we take, well… a more relaxed approach to theatre etiquette to create a more welcoming atmosphere
The house lights will remain on low throughout the performance to allow folks to come and go if they need to use the washroom, need to take a break in a quiet lobby, or just need to move or stretch. We ask all people to be aware of other people’s need to move or make involuntary noise or use technological aides during the performance.
Audience members will be free to…

Leave the theatre as needed during the performance

Freely use any technological aids they require in order to experience the performance
Bring babes in arms
Sit in the lobby for as long as they need

We have also made some adjustments to the show itself to relax the most intense aspect of the design.
For the More Relaxed Performance we will…

Remove strobes and flashing lightning effects
Reduce volume on loud or sudden audio cues
Houselights will remain on at a low level throughout the show

None of This Is Happening deals with big themes, big emotions and big events. Even in the More Relaxed Performance you can expect:

Extreme human emotional and physical responses including shouting, stomping, and verbal fights

Objects breaking and being dropped onstage
Bright lighting cues
Actors will occasionally enter from the audience entrance doors near the front row
Theatrical haze (made with water vapor)
Depictions of catastrophic weather events
Simulated smoking of cigars (made with water vapor)
Simulated smoke emanating from one of the actors (made with water vapor)

Sounds of thunder
Sounds of static/noise

Still have questions?
If you are wondering whether this show will be a good environment for your specific sensitivities or access needs or have any further questions about the content, please contact us at theatrep@theatreprojectsmanitoba.ca or 204-989-2400.
We are happy to answer any questions and offer specifics about what you can expect from arrival at the theatre to your departure so you can plan accordingly. And if there is anything we can do to make it easier for you to attend TPM in the future we’d love to discuss it!
