SUMMERWORKS READING TOMORROW!!!



Hey Y'All!

Thom here. Come one come all to our brand spanking first professional reading as a company

THE CURATIVE. Our posters are above. FBT would love to see you!

This WEDNESDAY AUGUST 8TH, at 3PM, as part of the SUMMERWORKS THEATRE FESTIVAL, there will be a reading at the FACTORY STUDIO THEATRE of a new script written by myself, The Curative. The Youth Reading Series is free, although donations will be gratefully accepted. Details below. Come on out, and spread the word...we'd love to have your support!


The Curative by Thom Bryce.
Directed by Stewart Arnott.
Starring Thom Allison, Jack Grinhaus, Marjorie Chan,
and Araxi Arslanian.

Free/PWYC reading at Factory Studio Space Wednesday
August 8th, 3PM.

Synopsis: Set in the not-too-distant future, The Curative presents a world gone mad in the face of biomedicine. Cameron, Aubrey, and Nora, three twentysomething friends, are forced to examine the desires and emotions that rule their lives when a major pharmaceutical company announces a new medication that can "cure" adult homosexuality in both males and females.

Awesome news! And photos!




Hey there everybody!

Thom here at the helm of an early morning post. Well, this should have been up here earlier, but just a quick note to say...

We've been selected for a workshop with the SummerWorks Theatre Festival! That's right, our submission, titled _The Curative_, will be workshopped for four hours with professional actors and a director. Afterwards we get a reading, methinks. Rock on, FBT!!! More info about the day and time will be posted as soon as they become available.

Also, this past month FBT performed with Henry Svec at the Tranzac Club. Posted above are some photos of the event. It was H-O-T...special thanks to everyone who came and contributed to the show! Cincopadders, professional!

Steps Back, Steps Forward

Hi Everybody!

Well, the results for the SummerWorks 2007 Festival were announced yesterday, and sadly, FBT won't be taking part this year. However, we learned a lot about ourselves and about the application process, and are looking forward to a General Meeting tomorrow night where we'll discuss our latest script, The Curative, and fundraising opportunities for the upcoming summer. We're choosing to look at this not as rejection, but as one of the many necessary steps in becoming an emergent Canadian Company. Long live the Biscuit!

-Thom.
