WheN PeoPLe fiND oUt i AM the ArtistiC DireCtor of NortherN LiGht theAtre theY iNVAriABLY AsK Me you never know what you’ll get from an evening with nlt- because each season we search the international stages for new, unknown and innovative shows and texts from as far away as australia, berlin, the u.k, and our own backyard. the only thing you can always be sure of is the high level of quality in performance and production values. i choose plays that move me- to thought, to emotion, to action. i know that our audiences often tell us that they have passionate discussions after seeing an nlt show- and that they are still thinking of them weeks later. but i’ve attempted to identify some of the mandates that we hold as guideposts for nlt as we move into our 37th season of presenting innovative and challenging works to edmonton audiences.
...outrageous visuals and heightened performance style. the characters transcend their earthly bonds of slapstick comedy and enter clown stratosphere. abigail and marguerite may not get to be angels, but there will be a place for them on the great catwalk in the sky, and later flagellating up a storm in the disco. EDMONTON JOURNAL .... the ecstatics is cheeky, sacrilegious and daring. there is something here to offend everyone. EDMONTON SUN
controVersial and thouGht-proVoKinG plays that are risKy in style, or content- or Both. a perfect example of this mandate is last season’s the ecstatics. by coupling religious fervor with the current media fascination with stereotypical demands made on the female body- all presented in a dark commedia/ clown context, the ecstatics took a deeply unsettling look at some disturbing themes, indeed. and got nominated for outstanding production at the 2011/2012 elizabeth sterling haynes theatre awards.
the play is a brilliant way to kick off Northern Light theatre’s 36th season.... but it’s more than just swashbuckling sailors. heroine is an exploration of gender roles and social expectations. EDMONTON SUN
artistiC DireCtor's notes : 2011/2012
WHAT KIND OF THEATRE DO YOU DO? a stronG representation of women in theatre. last season was a season of women: three plays, each populated by two women locked in some sort of battle- with not a man in sight. women are sorely under-represented on stage, and last season we attempted to even the odds by presenting plays (two by female playwrights) that explored women and their relationships with each other, the society they lived in, and the world that surrounded them. and all three plays were canadian homegrown!
No director in town regularly demonstrates more wit and ingenuity in transforming small spaces into theatrical experiences. that low-tech trevor schmidt magic has happened again with his own new play, cleopatra’s sister...EDMONTON JOURNAL ...it's more lively epic than history page. VUE WEEKLY
roles for new, emerGinG and up-and-cominG artists. this season sees 50% of our performers make their professional debut with nlt. we believe in offering unique opportunities to new talent and consider them as investments in the future of nlt. we try to develop relationships that continue beyond these initial experiences, resulting in the return of much loved nlt favorites such as Jesse gervais and amber borotsik, who grace our stage in this fall’s 6.0: how heap and Pebble took on the world and won.
“how many lawyers does it take to make a farce? that's the giddy proposition by which edmonton's legal community will bring down the house friday night...” EDMONTON JOURNAL
internships for students to worK alonGside estaBlished mentors in a professional production enVironment. nlt is pleased to pair with red deer college theatre performance and creation program by offering internships on productions throughout the year. interns are included in all aspects of production from direction, design, installation, rehearsal and performance. we believe that the interns are an integral part of the production team and this exchange is a valuable learning opportunity for all involved. each year sees us welcome assistant directors on many of our productions, as well. we also offer free previews to all students in theatre programs across the city. we love introducing students to professional theatre! we look forward to seeing you at the transalata arts barns as we present our 2012/2013 season. sex, violence and figure skating. that’s what you can expect. the rest will be a surprise.....

It’s been five years since Heap Cruziack and Pebble Adverati last laced up their skates and ice-danced competitively. But now, in spite of the extinction of ice-rinks due to global warming, the world champions are intent on a glorious comeback. ELLEN: For me, 6.0 is simply our kind of show. It’s what we do. We’re the people who take seven adult actors and make them play grieving nine year olds. We’re the people who fill a small swimming pool with shredded white paper or cover an entire set in post-its. We’re the people who read a short 30 page skeleton script and say “hey, there’s something here.... let’s produce it and find out what that ‘something’ is.” LIZ: I think this show is really quirky and represents the lighter side of NLT’s sensibility. It’s funny, but in an unconventional way, and certainly not without substance. Really excited to be partnering with FTA in the Westbury Theatre – I think it will be a new experience for our audience and I know that Trevor will use the space in a surprising and unique way.

A man and a woman wake up in bed togethernaked- and neither can remember how they got there. Or who the other is. In the harsh light of the morning after, they attempt to make sense of what may or may not have happened between them and a complex snapshot of modern relationships gradually comes into focus. ELLEN: I think Ride especially speaks to me because it’s a snapshot of what it’s like to be at the age where you start wondering if there really isn’t anyone or anything else for you out there. There’s kind of a heavy underlying sadness in that – a sadness which I think Jane Bodie’s script really captures.
LIZ: I’ve never been a one-night-stand kind of person (not that there’s anything wrong with that!) but I really connected with the sadness in this play. The characters just seem so real and vulnerable and I think Cole and Sereana will be incredible in these very challenging roles.
TREVOR: I'll admit it. I didn't get the this play the first time I read it. The second time I read it, I wept.

DUst DUST paul sutherland & monice peter preview: april 4, 2013 openinG: april 5 Closes: april 13 loCation: pcl studio – fringe theatre adventures
Abu Ghraib Prison. Jenny works in the office. Jonathan is a prison guard. They meet. They fall in love. And someone takes photos. Dust is a chilling, and ultimately moving examination of torture, decency and the limits of love. ELLEN: I’m quickly becoming a fan of Jason Maghanoy. He’s the kind of playwright who doesn’t pull punches. “Dust” punches your square in the gut, but in the most unusual way. It nudges you softly at first- so you don’t notice, then it keeps punching so you start to get a little uncomfortable and then it hits you so hard that it completely knocks the wind out of you. LIZ: This play scares the hell out of me! It’s definitely a risk – but I think people come to NLT to be challenged and this show fits the bill.

AN ACCIDENT ACCiDeNt
michael penG & melissa thinGelstad preview: may 16, 2013 openinG: may 17 Closes: may 25 loCation: pcl studio – fringe theatre adventures
When a woman is critically injured in an accident, can the same man who almost took her life save her? There are encounters in life that take you somewhere you’ve never been and never meant to go. A relentless two-person drama about guilt, forgiveness and recovery. ELLEN: The more I think about Stryk’s play the more I start to realize that the script completely encompasses what the title describes. “An Accident” is just that-painful, shocking and completely unexpected. As it speaks about the confusing, unfamiliar and, at times, angry road to recovery, the script often leaves me questioning which character is the injurer and which is the injured. LIZ: I loved this script immediately. I wasn’t really sure why. It was a gut thing, completely. Trevor was worried about it, he wasn’t sure if we should do it – but I was thrilled by it.
TREVOR: Every season I program one show that scares me as a director. “An Accident” is that show.
