Drawing from Atwood’s 2020 poetry collection Dearly, this evocative project weaves together classical and jazz trio idioms to create a rich musical language that is as haunting as it is beautiful. Davis’s settings transform seven of Atwood’s poems — Zombie, Blizzard, Health Class, Princess Clothing, Shadow, Digging up the Scythians, and Dearly — into art songs that balance elegance with raw emotional power.

This is a 19+ show beginning at 8PM, with the bar opening at 7PM. Come enjoy a great evening and experience the newly renovated theatre! The bar will be serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Good luck!

Don't miss Epidermis Circus.
Produced by SNAFU.
Performed by Fraggle Rock Puppeteer Ingrid Hansen
Co-Created and Directed by Ride the Cyclone director Britt Small
Costume by JIMBO the Drag Clown, Winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race

An “enormously entertaining, one-hour madcap vaudeville show. It is chock full of riotous, naughty, and mystifying vignettes using her bare hands, her face, her mouth, tiny toys, and a doll’s head. Hansen's hands-in-motion have the kind of presence that is often attributed to the greatest stage performers, and their movement, combined with her skill for vocalization, establishes colorful characters playing out their scenarios -- transfixing the audience, and creating pin-drop silence interspersed with spontaneous bursts of laughter.” - Culture Catch NYC

An intimate and powerful collaboration between soprano Measha Brueggergosman-Lee, author Margaret Atwood, and composer Aaron Davis. Drawing from the 7 poems of Atwood’s 2020 poetry collection Dearly (Blizzard, Health Class, Princess Clothing, Shadow, Digging up the Scythians, and Dearly), this evocative project blends classical and jazz idioms to explore grief, gender, humour, and survival in a changing world. With Atwood’s voice featured in recorded recitations, the electric live music from a jazz trio, and Measha’s luminous interpretations of Davis’ settings, Zombie Blizzard is a spellbinding meditation on the art of resilience.
