The Farm Show
(2007)
Book by Paul Thompson and Ted Johns
Nov. 27th - Dec. 1st, 2007
The Farm Show was developed as a collective creation by Theatre Passe Muraille in the summer of 1972. As Paul Thompson, the director of this theatrical experiment, tells it: "The idea was to take a group of actor out to a farming community and build a play of what we could see and learn. There is no 'story' or 'plot' as such. The form of the play is more like a Sunday school or Christmas concert, where one person does a recitation, another sings a song, a third acts out a skit, etc. Nonetheless, we hope that you can see many stories woven into the themes of this play and that out of it will emerge a picture of a complex and living community."
Directed by Theresa Noon
Stage Managed by Francesca Consiglio
Assistant Stage Managed by Bianka Cseko
Music Composed and Performed by Tom Kerr
