Lives collide and intertwine in unintended and unexpected ways as three stories are intricately entangled: the dying man who discovers his world is not what he had thought; the two lovers on the brink of collapse and the two men creating the play - interpreting and re-interpreting it right in front of our eyes, evoking a beautiful world of love and loss. Bitingly funny and wildly imaginative, this award-winning play is a thrilling and ingenious puzzle.

Commissioned by YPT, this riveting play explores teen mental health. Patricia, Jude and Trey meet regularly at a drop-in group for teenagers diagnosed with a mental health issue. In a series of scenes from both the group and their personal lives, we get to know their unique situations as they struggle with school workloads, worried parents, peer pressure and broken hearts. Beyond the Cuckoo’s Nest reminds us that stigmatization of mental illness is still one of the biggest barriers to finding and holding on to hope.

Legendary Newfoundland fiddler and storyteller Emile Benoit was a figurehead for the Newfoundland folk renaissance, contributing over 150 distinctly original fiddle compositions, and his seemingly endless catalogue of fantastical stories of English, Irish, and French origins. Originally commissioned by and co-produced at the Stephenville Theatre Festival as Vive La Rose, Emile's Dream is a lively theatrical and musical tribute to a true Newfoundland legend.  Benoit was a character of mythic proportions while he was alive, and still now, fifteen years after his death.  Emile`s Dream is as alive and unpredictable as the man himself, with three actor/fiddlers trading off Emile's words and music in a kinetic verbal and musical juggling act.  Kelly Russell, once a protégé of Emile himself, leads the group of three that also includes Daniel Payne and Phil Churchill.  Emile's Dream is a must see for any and all with an interest in the music, stories, and French culture of Newfoundland, and for those who love a lively story and a night of great tunes.
