Don Alfonso, an old cynic, is determined to prove to his two young friends, Guglielmo and Ferrando, that their fiancées are not to be trusted; they are like all women. Alfonso lays his plot and tells the sisters that their lovers have been sent off to war; then he introduces them to two Albanians, Guglielmo and Ferrando in disguise. Will the women succumb to the 'Albanian's' advances? In an hilarious production from the Burnaby Lyric Opera, Motzart meets Gossip Girl as the action plays out in a modern day sorority house. Arias and quartets mix with Facebook and texting, as we discover that the ecstacy and folly of love is the same now as in 1790.

A one-woman show all about Rita, a very organized office worker caught in a daily repetitive loop. Within the narrow, grey hallways of the Company, she is normally as regular in her body as she is at her work. But for the past six weeks, nothing has happened. No period- period. Then one day, whilst standing by the photocopier, something does happen: an extraordinarily tiny event, which causes her carefully ordered world to spiral wildly out of control.
Darkly comic and playfully irreverent, Tiny Apocalypse scrutinizes the surreal banalities and submerged hysteria of office life in a world shaped and monitored by surveillance.
