THE FRIDAY NIGHT LATE SHOW

THE SATURDAY MAINSTAGE SHOW
Featuring: 4Track (NYC/LA), CRUMBS (Winnipeg) and the Festival ensemble which will feature players from Edmonton, Toronto, NYC, LA and Winnipeg.
 
The Saturday night shows at the Gas Station Theatre will feature a new long-form creation as performed by the festival ensemble, made up of hand-picked local players and special out-of-town guests. The show will also feature another “mash-up,” this time fusing the international touring company CRUMBS with members of New York City's finest group, 4Track. The results just might create a nuclear reaction that has the potential to destroy the Gas Station Theatre and perhaps even rip the very fabric of reality itself... or it might just be one of the most amazing shows you ever see. You will have to be there.
Gas Station Arts Centre, 445 River Ave.  |  8 p.m.  |  $10
