NTS Dramafest - Ontario Showcase 2023 program

Welcome to tonight’s performances!

And just like that, we’re back in person! Taking a big, brave step forward into the uncertain world both onstage and off, in the theatre and in the classroom.

Today, at the culmination of months of hard work, it can be easy to lose sight of where we came from. Take a moment now to think about everything that went into the performance you are about to see. Think about the blank page, or the empty stage, or the tiny seed of an idea with potential. And then think back even further, to this time three years ago, when we didn’t know when and how we’d make it back to the theatre again.

Here we are, side-by-side as a community, and what started as a seed has blossomed into a full-grown performance ready to share with an audience. We cannot know where we will be or what the world will look like in another three years, but one of the best things that theatre teaches us is that by working together, it is possible to go from total uncertainty to something wonderful.

May our future be full of more theatre!

Maude Levasseur, Erika Kierulf and the NTS Drama Festival team

Bienvenue aux représentations de ce soir !

Et voilà, nous sommes de retour en personne ! Nous avançons avec courage dans cette ère remplie d’incertitudes, à la fois sur scène et en coulisses, au théâtre et dans les salles de classe.

Aujourd’hui, au moment où culmine des mois de travail, il est facile de perdre de vue le chemin parcouru.  Prenez un moment pour penser à tout ce qui a contribué au spectacle que vous êtes sur le point de voir. Pensez à la page blanche, à la scène vide ou au germe de l’idée originale. Puis repensez encore plus loin, à ce moment précis, il y a trois ans, où nous ne savions pas quand et comment nous allions revenir au théâtre.

Nous sommes là, côte à côte, une nouvelle communauté. Ce qui n’était au départ que le germe d’une idée s’est développé en une production complète, prête à être présentée au public. Nous ne savons pas où nous serons ni à quoi ressemblera notre monde dans trois autres années, mais l’une des plus grandes choses que le théâtre nous enseigne c’est qu’en travaillant ensemble nous pouvons passer de l’incertitude à la génération de milles possibles.

Que notre avenir soit rempli de plus de possible, d’art et de théâtre,

Maude Levasseur, Erika Kierulf et l’équipe du Dramafest de l’École nationale de théâtre

The Script - Through monologues, scenes and choral work, teenage girls deal with society’s image of beauty while discovering, on their own, what it means to be confident and self-assured. This script was first produced in 2008, and though some statistics were updated for this current rendition – sadly, over 15 years, the issues illustrated in this play have not changed.

“God Bless America” composed by Irving Berlin is made available after royalty payment to Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America, as per his request of his estate.

Young people have inherited a burning world. In this urgent and lyrical play, they reckon with the generations who have come before them, questioning the choices that have been made, and the ones that they will yet be forced to make. Is My Microphone On? is a play in the form of a protest song, in which a chorus of young performers hold the audience to account, and invite them to experience the world together anew.

Our Moment In Time

Writing Team

Script: Grace Baker & Ms. Amelia Dutka (NPSS 2022 Graduate)

Music: Ms. Amelia Dutka (NPSS 2022 Graduate) & Grace Baker

Synopsis:

Our Moment In Time is a play that normalises sapphic love without making the story about gay issues. In Our Moment In Time, our characters Dawn and Atlas explore the grieving process and the emotions that come with it, while navigating the ins and outs of teenage love. If our main couple in this show were to be heterosexual, the story would stay the same – and this is exactly what we wanted to convey. Being homosexual doesn’t have to be the main plot point of a piece of media - homosexual love can simply just be.
