Fundraiser for Fringe/SummerWorks 2008!!!

Hello online world!
Thom here! FBT has been quite busy what with the shifting of the seasons and all. Our fundraiser for Toronto Fringe/SummerWorks 2008 is in the works, and will likely take place the first week of January at The Press Club in Toronto.

In other news, FBT member Mark Purvis just finished a production of Yasmina Reza's "Art" with Hope Theatre Projects in Kingston, Ontario.

There's a glowing review in the Kingston Whig-Standard, which can be reached via their website. Details below. Congrats, Mark!

FBT is also currently in talks to present scenes at a coming Academic conference on Victorian Literature.

As for the fundraiser, check back within a week. All right, Seacrest out.

Reading with Pivotal (Arts) Theatre

Hey, everybody. Thom here. Just wanted to write a short note to say that Pivotal (Arts) Theatre Company will be presenting a 30-minute reading from my piece The Curative this coming Friday, November 9th at 8PM. There are four pieces being presented, each 30 minutes in length. We'll be at The Rhino which is located at 1249 Queen Street West. It's PWYC, but there is a suggested donation of $10 in order to support Pivotal. Hope to see you there!

Tasty Treats For All!

Hey Everybody!

It's been ages since I've posted anything, so I'll start by saying oops, once again.
Members of FBT have been up to an absolute tonne of stuff during the summer months.


Matthew completed the 3-Day Novel Contest (on live television!) over Labour Day weekend, while Steph had a piece read as part of Nightwood's Write From the Hip playwrighting group, titled Now, with Sweetness. Rebecca is being published in Ars Medica, with a story called "At the End of Breath. Mark has landed a plum role in a production of "Art" by Yasmina Reza. As for me, The Curative, a piece read at SummerWorks, will be workshopped by a company in March called Pivotal Arts.


All in all, a most productive couple of months...find links to the different projects at the bottom of the post.

Next up is writing some short monologues to present in early December. Thanks for reading, yo!

Synopsis: Set in the not-too-distant future, The Curative presents a world gone mad in the face of biomedicine.

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!

Poster for tonight's show!

Creation Workshop this Sunday!

Thom here. This SUNDAY MAY 13TH from noon to five, Free Biscuiters are gathering at the Harbourfront Community Centre in order to create and explore for our musical debut at Henry Svec's Tranzac show on June 13th! We look forward to creating and laughing, y'all, 'cause we ain't no hollaback kids. Can't wait! We're rehearsing indoors this time so we can avoid another case of this...




All together now...


OUCH.
