60 Days of Summer

Hey there Pearls!

Coming up Live at the Pearl Company on Friday May 30 to June 1 is the fantastic play 60 Days of Summer! This Eco Theater project has emerged from a partnership between Scene Change and Environment Hamilton. This show is sure to be a great one! Here is a bit about what it's about!

Written by local students and teachers , 60 Days of Summer is a  story which follows the misadventures of a group of students who attempt to live a full summer with no eco- footprint. Earth is personified through song and movement. Packed with interpersonal tensions, dream sequences and plot twists, the outcome is not what the students expect.
" 60 days of Summer takes us on a theatrical adventures where young people challenge themselves to leave "no impact" on the earth- not just for 'Earth Hour'- but for an entire summer. The variety of backgrounds and world experience in this diverse cast allows them to explore some tough questions about the price of climate change and who pays. Infused with music, dance, and Eco-Inventions- the play has something for everyone in this fun, at times whacky, but ultimately inspiring production. Leaving "no-impact" on the earth- leaves a lasting impact on the audience!" ~ Catherine Silverglen (OCT)
Scene Change theater projects tell stories about inspiring young people who step up to the plate and do what they can do to build a more just and compassionate world. These stories help us re-imagine what the world can look like and remind us of the great things we can do in the world.

This show is sure to be fantastic! Be sure to make your way down to come and see it! The show dates are as follows: Friday May 30 @ 12:30 pm. Saturday May 31 @ 7 pm. Sunday June 1 @ 2:30 pm. Tickets are being sold for $10 for all students, $15 adults, and $5 for all tickets on Friday May 30th.

Shelly Marshall's : Hold Mommy's Cigarette

Hey there Pearls!

Coming up in April is Shelly Marshall's hit show , Hold Mommy's Cigarette! It is showing from April 10th to April 13. This show is phenomenal! If you've seen this show before or any of the other shows that Shelly Marshall has written and/ or performed in than you know that she only ever brings her "A- game". This show is defiantly no exception! Here is a bit about Hold Mommy's Cigarette.

Shelly Marshall presents, The Award Winning Production "Hold Mommy's Cigarette". One Woman's story of an unfiltered life, written and performed by Shelly Marshall, Directed by Linda Kash. It seems appropriate that world renowned Comedienne, Marshall would open her years autobiographical One Woman Show in the city where the story and star were born. It took 10 years for Marshall to create this Play and it is the rewarding result of resilience, recovery, and reflection while exploring the many genres of performance including elements of clown, stand up, improv, buffoon, and play. Shelly Marshall takes her audience many places; " I take them on an adventure, both emotionally and visually. There is no denying that my story is tragic, but it's my story and time exploitation of what has happened in my life, but rather an acceptance of where it may lead. It is a dark comedy, a vulnerable piece about my life, mental illness and survival." Marshall reveals with a smile. She invites you to come to her show with an open mind and promises you'll leave with a full heart.

This event is for all ages, I warn you now, it does contain "Mature Content". All the shows will start at 8:00 pm and doors will open at 7:30 pm , except for Sunday April 13th which will start at 2:00 pm. Tickets are being sold for $25 to everyone. Be sure to get here early to get great seats!!!

Until next time!!

All the plays are featured at each performance, so don't worry about missing anything.
