A message from the Board of Directors

I am very pleased to once again welcome you to the Hamilton Arts Council Theatre Guide. We are fortunate as Hamiltonians to have our city greatly enriched by an ever expanding theatre community. This Guide is produced annually to promote and support all of our local theatres and serves as a resource for Hamiltonians and visitors alike. Once again we are very fortunate to have excellent articles written this year by Trevor Copp and Lyla Miklos.

Theatre is an integral part of our arts scene. It puts our experiences into a new context. It helps us learn and grow while it entertains us. It brings us together, tells us stories, makes us laugh and makes us cry. It can make us happy, make us mad, and makes us think. It offers the opportunity to connect with the experiences of the playwright, the director, and the performers. It helps us to better understand ourselves and each other.

The theatre can model a kind of public discourse integral to democratic life. It provides an opportunity for us to build skills for listening, understanding and empathizing with the struggles of others. It promotes essential aspects of our civic life such as literacy and education. Theatre is also an invaluable tool to promote urban renewal; creating economic activity, revitalizing neighbourhoods, and attracting visitors to the city.

Theatre is an important driver of the revitalization and renaissance that we are now experiencing in Hamilton. I would like to sincerely thank all of the participating theatre companies and all of the businesses who partnered with us to make this Theatre Guide possible. Your efforts are helping to sustain our theatre community and to enrich the cultural landscape in which we all live, work, and play.

David PremiChair, Board of DirectorsHamilton Arts Council

It’s said frequently that Hamilton has reached a tipping point and that The Arts are a fundamental reason why. Certainly one can see how visual arts and music have led the charge towards this threshold, but what about theatre? It’s a question that I’ve repeatedly asked myself. And the reason I keep asking is that I’ve never quite encountered a theatre community like the one in Hamilton.

Just take a look at the demographics. First there is Theatre Aquarius, an anchor for professional productions and a hub for education and outreach with local artists. On the other end of the spectrum there are amateur companies like Players Guild and Dundas Little Theatre engaging the community and programming successful seasons year after year. Occupying the middle ground are performance venues like The Staircase and The Pearl, and festivals like The Fringe and HamilTEN with a vast array of programming, where independent artists have the chance to produce their own work and take a risk.

But whether it’s new play creation, Broadway musicals, or main stage classics, every level of theatre is fuelling the collective fires of onstage storytelling in Hamilton. They are all working together to creat a strong theatre ecology that reflects the unique character of this city. In other words, they’re building an audience and that’s what is needed most of all.

If you are reading this, chances are good that you’re attending a show or have an interest in doing so. Perhaps you are about to see something you’ve only just heard about. Or maybe you’ve read some rave reviews. Perhaps you took a drama class in high school and want to inject more theatre in your life. Or maybe you’re a dedicated artist searching for a new opportunity in your career.

The Theatre Guide you hold in your hands is just a sample of what this city has to offer.  Both the advertisements and the directory at the back are meant to show the degree of diversity on Hamilton’s stages but it’s up to you to take the next step.

It is up to you to attend the shows and support the companies. It is up to you to create the productions and collaborate with others to produce the work. It is up to all of us to work together to grow and celebrate what is onstage everywhere there is a space in this city. Because it is onstage where the stories get told and where the magic takes place. Onstage is where Hamilton theatre will not only reach the tipping point but go right over the edge.

I’m ready. Are you?

Director: Tim Denis

This is a play of monologues and ensemble pieces about clothes, relationships and memory in which the wardrobe becomes a time capsule of a woman’s life. Funny, powerful and familiar, it will appeal to women, and to any man whose life has been influenced by a woman.

Bold, original, disturbing, and surprisingly funny, this musical lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States.

The score reflects the popular music of the eras depicted, as Sondheim and Weidman produce an unusually imaginative entertainment which examines success, failure, and the drive for power and celebrity in American society.

Facing their own personal fiscal cliff, a middle-aged couple find themselves unemployed and desperate. They stumble upon the idea of producing a skin flick to salvage their financial situation. Hilarity ensues as this lovable and naïve couple attempts to navigate this unknown terrain.

Just when you thought you’d heard

every crazy 9/11 conspiracy theory,

a stranger walks into the crumbling Yankee Tavern in lower Manhattan and orders a beer for an absent friend. A young couple becomes involved in a mind-bending agony of uncertainty.

What you don’t know can hurt you.

Hamilton is the community where I found my artistic voice and discovered my passion for theatre.  

My journey started at Hill Park with Bill Cook in the Drama Program and Sylvia Holinaty in the Music Department. I am still in awe of their miraculous ability to harness the restless energy of teenagers on stage every year.

My next outlet was the Theatre Aquarius Summer School Programme. Run by the larger than life Lou Zamprogna, this program gave me intense training in

acting, singing, and movement. Lou's disciplined work ethic is something that I strive to emulate to this day

After auditioning at Hamilton Theatre Inc. I found my Theatre ‘home’.

W h e t h e r p e r f o r m i n g La Cage Aux Folles with B r o a d w a y ’ s Rudy Tronto or A Grand Night For Singing with Hamilton’s S h a r o n Reynolds, my repertoire was

expanding. Discovering profound joy in the collaborative teamwork of a production was an epiphany for me.

Hamilton Theatre:

A Personal Journey

Words by Lyla MiklosImages by Daniel Banko

As I moved on to working with companies like The Player’s Guild, Drury Lane, Piccadilly Circus and Daycar, I experienced a broader range of Hamilton Theatre. Whether it was an interactive and zany Italian wedding with director David Dayler, telling Matthew Shepard’s story in The Laramie Project with director Willard Boudreau, or singing a Sondheim score in A Little Night Music with director Gary Smith, every production matured me as a  performer.

And now, as the Host of Centre Stage on INDI 101.5 FM, I provide a venue for local theatre artists to connect with the wider community. The Hamilton Fringe Festival, Hamilton Place touring productions, HWDSB’s Art Smart programme, Sky Gilbert’s Hammertheatre and myriads more have visited the radio studio at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus. Spreading the joy of live theatre in Hamilton is a public service I do with pride.   Expanding the world of theatre experiences for my listeners is a pleasure I revel in.

The intimacy of live theatre is an experience unlike any other. It is an art form with ancient roots, while also being a living tradition that is constantly evolving. Such ongoing development is what makes theatre tangible and alive. When the lights go down and the curtain goes up we are invited into and transported to a new reality. Theatre, unlike film, television, or our smart phones is where we and the performers share the air and space together. We give from and take in each other’s energies. And if the magic mix of ingredients is just right we may even find transcendence.

A Hamilton Woman of The Year in Communications, Mohawk College Alumni of Distinction, and Hamilton Pride Citizen of the Year, Lyla is a queer feminist labour activist, broadcaster, performer, writer, community organizer, administrator, publicist, sci-fi fan and theatre nerd. www.lylamiklos.com

As a theatre artist I am proud to call Hamilton my home. Hamilton’s grassroots spirit proves that all you need is a space and an audience to make theatre happen. My home’s fierce and bold creative energy inspires and transforms both myself and the entire community every day. Where will we go from here? How will our changing demographics, economic landscape, and new technologies affect the stories we tell? I don’t know, but I can’t wait to find out.

May the journey continue.

50th Season

Be Careful What You Wish For . . . Leon and Bill write up a list of the 10 best qualities defining the perfect woman. And much to their surprise … she appears! They quickly learn that their list (and their thinking) could use a few revisions.

Oooh, la, la! Come join Puss in Boots, on his adventures in fairy tale France! Cheer on the intrepid Mouseketeer as he battles to outwit the evil henchman L’Escargot and help his master, Jaçques, rescue his true love from the clutches of the evil Le Grand Comte L’Ogre. Sigh as True Love wins the day and laugh at the exuberance and joie de vivre of an original cast of pantomime characters!

A bridegroom wakes on his wedding morning in his own bridal suite, with his bride-to-be about to arrive any moment, and finds a strange girl in bed beside him. What’s more an extremely attractive girl whom, in the depths of his post stag-night hangover, he can’t remotely remember even having been introduced to. Worse - during the ensuing panic to get the stranger dressed and out of the way, the bride arrives and the girl is trapped in the bathroom. By the time the bride’s parents and half the hotel staff get in on the act, the chaos reaches nuclear proportions!

This is what it feels like to be that thing the moment before it becomes the next big thing.

My optimism for local theatre isn’t just regional pride; I’m not saying that there’s something in the water. It’s just our turn. Our theatre bastions of the steady and strong community theatres, along with our giant - Theatre Aquarius - have been setting the stage for years. And phenomena like Supercrawl and a bursting indie music scene have stripped off the remnants of Hamilton’s Steeltown veneer and shot out a province-wide Bat-Signal that this is a place for artists.

Take this local energy and combine it with Toronto’s skyrocketing real estate costs which mean that the artists who made the city so valuable in the first place can’t afford to live there. You can get a great house in Hamilton for the cost of a walk-in closet in Toronto and so voila: a wave of talent streams our way. The same dynamic is happening in Vancouver and also many American cities, where gentrified areas are losing their arts community to the up-and-coming, more edgy areas. The coming storm is as statistically inevitable as it is flat out thrilling.

The Next Big ThingBy Trevor Copp

What I’m looking forward to the most is the filling in of the gaps between Aquarius and the community theatres. I run Tottering Biped Theatre, a smaller contemporary professional theatre company doing heavily physical and social issue driven pieces.

My optimism for local theatre isn’t just regional pride; I’m not saying that

there’s something in the water. It’s just

our turn.

We develop original devised work and tour this work to other communities. We are a part of an emerging kind of theatre happening in this area; a group in this gap I’ve described which I will put into two categories:

First, there are the small professional companies and artists from outside Hamilton that keep trickling in. I’m particular about the term ‘professional’ not as a claim to artistic superiority – I’ve seen too much great amateur work for that – but as a statement on economics. ‘Professional companies’ pay living wages; we are making a lifestyle for artists possible in this area. This is key to making the whole artistic ecosystem work. When artists are provided with living wages it allows quality of concentration on the projects and their careers that is impossible to achieve when you are holding down other full-time work. What I’m describing may look like money but it isn’t. It’s time; time to come into our own as individual and communal artists.

Secondly, there are the young companies. I saw some outstanding

work at the Hamilton Fringe Festival this year by some seriously trained and experimenting young theatre makers. Young artists’ hunger to prove themselves makes them innovative: suddenly parking lots, rooftops, anything and anywhere

becomes the next possibility. They tell new stories. While certain ‘rules’ can fossilize experienced artists over time it is often younger artists who lead the charge into new forms, content, and ways of being. This attracts younger crowds looking for the thrill of the new so young artists help us to round out our appeal and secure a future for theatre.

Filling in this gap of theatre companies means more venues, more secure funding, and a local culture that is curious and hungry for unknown work. These winds are already stirring.

Aquarius is investing in local artists through their TA2 series while young artists continue to work and grow in community theatre pieces. And even though I haven’t seen the tallies yet I’ll bet that Fringe 2013 was the biggest ever.

There’s a storm a-coming. And personally, I plan to get soaking wet.

While certain ‘rules’ can fossilize experienced artists over time it is often younger artists who lead the charge into new forms, content, and

ways of being.

Trevor founded Burlington’s Tottering Biped Theatre (TBT) in 2008, a professional company emphasizing original, issue driven, and highly physical work. He has been a professional actor, director, choreographer, educator and theatre devisor for over 12 years in pieces ranging from Classical to contemporary, performing in over 20 cities and numerous National Theatre Festivals. www.totteringbiped.ca.
