“…an innovative, sensual feast. ” –Colin Thomas, Georgia Straight 

PTC is excited to support the remount of This Stays in the Room. The play animates the PTC Test Kitchen for its rehearsal period, and dramaturg Heidi Taylor will again be part of the creation team. Second productions are a valuable and too rare occurrence in Vancouver theatre, offering the team a chance to dive deeper into the material, continuing its development during the remount process. A new space and a new story or two will make this project worth seeing a second time.

When This Stays in the Room premiered last spring, it was in an art gallery in the Downtown East Side. Now this bold exploration of what it requires to face ourselves and others as we grapple with shame, forgiveness, vulnerability and hope has moved to the stage of the Waterfront Theatre and is bringing the audience up out of the stalls. Seated on the stage in the midst of the action, the audience will be invited to act as witness to the disquiet of other people’s internal dialogue and struggle. Each scene pushes the public/private boundaries of
what is socially acceptable to talk about and reveal to others.

No holds barred. No sacred cows.”  – Jo Ledingham, On the Scene
