Conceived by Kim Renders and directed by Kathryn MacKay, the garbage and the flowers is an extraordinary stage presentation of thoughts, images, words, sounds, and poetry that takes the audience on a sensual tour of the Limestone City. By using movement, live sound, and video/slide projections, nine performers will recreate overheard conversations, bathroom wall scribblings, and discarded memos to unearth the beauty that exists in the most unlikely of places.
Don't miss the world premiere of this amazing new work.

Were looking for women capable of portraying a range of ages, nationalities, and emotions.
The List is a four woman show comprised of ensemble work and monologues based on interviews with women about what they look for in a relationship. It was originally produced by Quartetto Virago in June 2008 and is being remounted with a new cast for the Lennox Theatre in Selby as one of three one-act plays running February 6-21, 2009.
This is a wonderful opportunity to stretch as an actor and explore your range playing multiple characters with comedic and emotionally charged monologues.
