From the team that brought you “Game Show 33”, and "Freud was once a Jung Man” comes APT 33, a high energy late-night kids show for adults!

Hosted by a pair of first-time renters in the big city, these fools try to keep the show moving while they navigate a neighbourhood full of unpredictable characters. Watch as they walk the magical tightrope between Pee-Wee’s Playhouse and Sartre’s No Exit, all while dodging the Landlord.

There will be top-notch Guests, Songs, Existential Quandaries, Snacks, TV/VCR Repair, Games, Satchels, and other Duties as Required. The Apartment is Fake, but the Relationship is Real.

Join this high-octane, joyous celebration of life’s lessons, powered by the wisdom, music and outrageous fabulousness of Celine Dion and Cher. Expect hilarious storytelling, and soul-stirring singalongs from Marysia Trembecka, British creator of the Edinburgh/Edmonton/Adelaide sell-out The Singing Psychic.

From the mythic story of Rose and Jack (Titanic) hidden within “My Heart Will Go On” to the wisdom in “If I Could Turn Back Time”, this is a manual for living fiercely, delivered through the songs of two of pop’s most iconic goddesses.

All at once, Jack Bennet got dumped, fired, and evicted, and, worst of all, his beloved dog died. All he’s got now is a truck and a chainsaw. He decides to leave Alberta and flee north, really far north, into the Yukon. There he finds a new purpose in starting his own wood harvesting business. Join Jack around the fire as he tells his story of finding community in unlikely places and connecting with his home and heritage in an unconventional way.

This new one-hour play — written, produced, and starring Métis theatre artist Colin Wolf — features storytelling, comedy, a chainsaw (or two!), and just enough therapy to hold the good ship Jack Bennet together.

SLAM FAQS:

What is a poetry slam?

Slam poetry is a type of competition where people read their poems without props, costumes, or music. After performing, they receive scores (0-10) from randomly selected judges. The judges can be anyone: they don’t even need to be poets! Scores are awarded based on how much each judge likes a poem. The purpose of this judging process is to make poetry participatory for everyone. Slam poetry doesn’t need to be a specific form of poetry.

What do I need to bring?

• $22 entrance fee (can purchase tickets ahead of time online or pay at the door. Both cash and card payments accepted.)
• 2 poems, each less than 3 minutes.
• Friends! The bigger the audience, the better the show!

What are the rules?

• No props, no costumes, no animal acts, no nudity.
• No booing.
• Keep your poem under 3 minutes and 10 seconds or you'll lose points.

CONTENT WARNING: poetry slams often deal with hard topics such as domestic violence, sexual abuse, grief and death, social issues, etc.

Ticket sale proceeds goes to the Writers Guild of Alberta and the Calgary Poetry Slam.
