Looking for a theatre experience unlike any other? Then you won’t want to miss “My Most Cherished Letter”, a performance piece by Heather Inglis, the award-winning dramaturg, director, and leading mind behind Edmonton, Alberta’s Theatre Yes who is serving as NotaBle Acts Dramaturg/Artist in Residence this year. Inglis is a creator of performance installations, works that blur the line between theatre, performance art, and art gallery-style installations.

“My Most Cherished Letter” will see actors animate handwritten letters that Inglis has sourced from the Fredericton region. In a world of instant digital communication, does the handwritten word still mean something, still resonate? “My Most Cherished Letter” will be a theatrical experience quite unlike any seen in Fredericton to date. The performance can be visited (gallery-style) any time between 8 PM and 9:30 PM on July 28 and 29 at the Theatre New Brunswick Studio, 55 Whiting Road. Admission by donation.

Featuring:

“Innocence Lost” by Bet O’Toole
A high-ranking Cardinal comes to a town full of “witches” and the townspeople expect exorcisms; however, his interaction with a prophetic young girl causes him to doubt the validity of “female demons” and even the authority of the Church.

“The Dangerous Years” by Bruce Allen Lynch
When a young Jane Austen is forced to examine the line between reality and her novels, she makes an unexpected discovery about love, both familial and romantic.

“The False Neighbour” by Step Taylor
April wasn’t expecting company when she heard a knock on her door, and she certainly wasn’t expecting the intrigue and witty banter that came when she opened the door to a slightly suspicious but charming neighbour.

See you there for a great night of theatre!
