A Man Walks Into a Bar (Vancouver Fringe Festival)
September 5 @ 8:00 am - September 15 @ 5:00 pm
New-on-the-scene Vancouver theatre collective presents its inaugural production:
“A Man Walks Into a Bar” by Rachel Blair, presented by Curious Cats Theatre Collective, at the Vancouver Fringe Festival, 2024
Curious Cats Theatre Collective presents its inaugural production, “A Man Walks Into a Bar” by Rachel Blair, Finalist for the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play.
About the play: A woman, with the help of a man, nervously sets out to tell us all a joke: A man walks into a bar and meets a waitress. The two begin to act out the joke for the audience and lines between the performers and characters blur. Ownership of the story becomes a competition as the man and woman unpack every word and movement, catching each other out on their assumptions and contradictions as they inch towards a dark and dangerous punchline.
Starring Sandra Medeiros and Matt Loop; Directed by Maryth Gilroy and Karen Hamm
