"an elaborate tapestry full of
details...you don't have to be a mother to relate to what she's saying..."

out of 5
"an eloquent reminder of what the best gifts are...a play for everyone to
like..."
(Kingston Whig Standard)
As
the inaugural production of in-coming Artistic Director
Kim Renders,
Theatre Kingston presents her acclaimed one-woman show,
The Shape of the Universe. Conceived
and performed by Renders, the piece is an exploration of the
joys and perils of being a parent, unexpectedly compelled to
fathom a new way of “being
in the universe”.
Poignant, insightful and often hilarious,
The Shape of the Universe
is an engaging mix of personal anecdotes intermingled with
an original and enchanting fable.
The parallel narratives compliment and contrast one another,
until they come together in a surprising and satisfying
ending.
The Shape of the Universe
debuted at Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto and has
toured the country. The
piece also enjoyed a successful run in Leeds, England and
was produced for radio by CBC.

Read the Press Release

T.S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred
Prufrock is the inspiration for a theatrical exploration of aging, a
eulogy to youth and a diatribe against one’s own mortality.
The performance moves between dance and poetry, comedy and drama, all the while
striving to answer the overwhelming question, “Why are we here?”
This innovative and compelling piece of theatre
features Kingston favourite Judy Cooke, whom
audiences will remember for her many appearances at the Thousand Islands
Playhouse.
Talking Of
Michelangelo,
full of humour and pathos, is at once
an exploration of aging, a eulogy to youth and a
diatribe against one’s own mortality.
Kim Renders and Judy Cooke appear with the
permission of Canadian Actors' Equity Association.
BE A PART OF THE PROCESS
Talking of Michelangelo is a play in development. You can
play a part in where it goes from here and the shape it eventually takes when
given its first full performance. 'Talk backs' have been a popular forum
for Theatre Kingston's audiences for years. In this instance they will play an
even stronger role in the life of a brand new peice of emerging Canadian
theatre.
Theatre Kingston invites you to stay after the performances for
refreshments and to share your thoughts and ideas on the piece. Join special
guests who will share their expertise on a wide rage of related topics.

LIMITED
ENGAGEMENT!
June 26,27, 28
In Kingston's Newly Renovated Grand Theatre!

An inclusive community arts
project.
I Said I
will be a
creative partnership between Theatre Kingston and several of Kingston’s most
vital community groups including the
Kingston Community Health
Centre, H’art School of Smiles, the Boys and Girls Club, the
Kingston Military Families Resource Centre and the Canadian Hearing
Society.
This exciting undertaking will be the first of its kind in Kingston since
Theatre Kingston stages Maury Breslow's Princess Street: The Great
Divide, and will involve the talents of several of Kingston’s
finest professional artists. Songwriter David Archibald,
dancer/choreographer and director of the huge hit CATS at the
Wellington Street Theatre Ebon Gage , theatre artists Kathryn MacKay
and Anne Hardcastle, and film-maker Clarke Mackey are just a few
of the brilliant artists who will be collaborating with the members of these
communities, everyone bringing their unique perspectives and experiences to the
project.
I SAID I
is based on the text
Self-Accusation by German playwright Peter Handke, best known
here for co-writing the acclaimed 1987 Wim Wenders film Wings of Desire.
It is a theatrical, musical and spectacular
gathering of voices,
celebrating the diversity of our communities and the power of the arts to bring
people together. |
