Written by: Colin Godbout

Take a musical trip to a magical time with songs of Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Lenny Breau, and Oscar Peterson.

“Guitar virtuoso Colin Godbout produces an entire rhythm section from a single six-stringed instrument. You’ll spend the hour listening to gorgeous, jazz-infused renderings of Canada’s musical landscape.”

ACTIONABLE

GROW OR DIE MUSIC

Written by: BOB WISEMAN

ACTIONABLE reflects upon litigious situations resulting from Bob Wiseman’s songwriting while trying to establish his solo career after quitting Blue Rodeo in 1991. The legal counselors in these stories include lawyers for Prince, lawyers for Warner Music, lawyers for Pepsi Cola, lawyers for David Geffen, lawyers for Blue Rodeo and Canadian lawyer Doug Christie who’s clients include historical revisionists and members of the KKK. These often hilarious tales are presented utilizing super 8 film, video projection, power-point and musical breaks on accordion, guitar and keyboard. Mr. Wiseman believes eventually the JUNO AWARDS will invent a category for best musical theatre performed by an accordion player with power-point who is under 5 foot 6 and he plans to win it.

G-Men Defectives

Garkin Productions

Written by: Ray Besharah & Matthew Domville

The threat of communist infiltration is ever present, especially in Ottawa. Two edgy, old school G-Men – Garfield and Marmaduke – train audiences in the art of commie hunting. Silly, salty, and nothing but entertainment. FOUR STARS (Global TV Edmonton). “G-Men Defectives is easy to enjoy” (NYTHEATRE.COM). “Often terribly clichéd and verging on bad taste” (Ottawa Sun).
