The storytelling in @abtheatreprjcts.bsky.social King James is so well done. You don't need to know basketball. You just need to know friendship.
Alberta Theatre Projects’ presentation of ‘King James’ examines friendship through basketball.
It isn’t very often that sports and theatre intersect. They intersect in every aspect of the two men who are central to Alberta Theatre [...]

(Left to Right) On the set of Alberta Theatre Projects’ upcoming production of Rajiv Joseph’s “King James,” (produced in association with Theatre Aquarius) Michael Blake as Shawn (Black) and Devin MacKinnon as Matt (White) sit on either side of a wooden table, cheated out to face the audience. Shawn is wearing a red Cleveland Cavaliers jersey over a grey hoodie, jeans and red shoes. Matt is wearing black shows and pants and a black apron over a light grey shirt. Shawn has his hand on the table as he speaks to Matt, while Matt looks contemplatively into the distance. They are in a wine bar named, "La Cave du Vin," according to the sign on the stone wall behind them. The red-curtained doorway to Matt's left has a pointed Gothic frame as, per the script, La Cave du Vin was once a cathedral. Set Design by Brian Dudkiewicz. Lighting Design by Louise Guinand.

Caroline Russell-King reviews "Charlotte's Web!" 🐷🕸️

"Like a great Xmas panto, this show IS fun for the whole family."

Read all about it! 👇 🎉

An image of the cover of the program for "Charlotte's Web" at Alberta Theatre Projects. The run dates of "NOV 26-DEC 29, 2024" run along the bottom above the words, "MARTHA COHEN THEATRE" with the playwright and director credits above the dates to the left and right respectively of the author of the original book. The poster image is the back of the head of a cute cartoon pig with a friendly spider on top, as they look upon a cozy rural farmhouse with the sky turning from purple to pink as the sun rises behind it. The title "Charlotte's Web" appears above the farmhouse on the purple sky as snow falls.

A couple of observations after being back onstage for the first time in 10 yrs.
1. People continue to have very intense relationships with their phones.
2. Audiences remain amazing. They cohere in a really bizarre way. Not like a mob. More like the way trees communicate below ground.

The beautiful word-mark for ATP's 2024 production of "Charlotte's Web," created out of a custom spider-web font, dominates the image set against a snowy purple sky with the first signs of sunrise showing as a pink patch behind a farmhouse and the treeline. Below this scene are the words, "Pay What You Can Performance. Tuesday, November 26. Purchase P W Y C Tickets at the Door on the Night of the Show!" The square "Alberta Theatre Projects" text-based logo using its own custom font is rests in the upper, left-hand corner of the image, white like the snow against the purple sky.

Paul Gross on the set of "The Seafarer" at the Martha Cohen Theatre last month, as seen from backstage through the alley doorway of the play's Irish home.

Photo credit to fellow actor, Shaun Smyth! 📷
Actor Paul Gross is seen sitting on a couch from behind on a theatre stage, framed by doorway surrounded by darkness. Paul's face is not visible, but his lengthy silver hair is. The floor of the set is painted to depict a stone floor, and just inside the doorway is a mat featuring a depiction of a large anchor.

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time
Vincent D'Onofrio & @vincentdonofrio Pigs can't look up. But I could pick a pig up one night and raise it into the sky and tilt this pig ever so gentle. I can make sure this pigs eyes line up with the stars. Imagine seeing the stars 4the first time.l want 2b treated that kindly and see the stars for the first time.
