| | A Rock Sails By by Sean Grennan
Astrophysicist Dr. Lynn Cummings has always believed in science over faith in the unknown. But now that her life is changing, the certainty that was once a source of comfort has become a source of emptiness. When an unidentified flying object is sighted heading toward Earth, she grants an interview to a journalist who misquotes her. With her credibility on the line, she invites him to witness the object as it comes closest to the Earth with her. Dr. Cummings hopes it will pass without incident, but there is no telling what she will discover beyond the stars.
Director: Scott Rooney
Producer: Sally Johnston and Janny Hughes

Romeo and Juliet or The Old "You-Know-I-Really-Love-You-But-My-Father-Really-Hates-You" Blues
By Nancy Linehan Charles. From William Shakespeare
Teenagers. What are ya gonna do. They fall in love at the drop of a hat—always with the very person Mom and Dad can't stand. And in the case of Romeo Montague and Juliette Capulet, their families have hated one another for as long as anyone can remember. Except …no one actually remembers why. Grownups act that way sometimes, huh. This fast-paced adaptation of Shakespeare's play tracks the star-crossed lovers and their cross-purposed families through the tumbling courtship to its tragic conclusion—storytellers firing off comments about premature marriages and the folly of old men at war. A perfect landscape for boisterous swordfights and gender-bending casting. Girls play boys with pointed reminders to the audience of all-male casting in Elizabethan times. Payback, say the storytellers. The audience is prodded to stop the tragedy at several points, but alas, too late. The conclusion? Violence is a stupid choice so mend your fences before you hit the parking lot.

| | Life of Leisure - Derek Seguin
"Canada's Top Comic" ... Sirius XM
"Undeniably, One of Canada's Hottest Comedians" ... CBC
Derek Seguin's "Life of Leisure" tour. 18+ Adult content. Derek is one of the most sought after stand-up comedians on the international circuit. He has performed at the prestigious invitation-only Just For Laughs festival an impressive 11 times as well as appearing numerous times at every other major festival in the country, making several television appearances along the way.
At a past Just for Laughs festival, GQ Magazine's Comedy Editor reported about JFL that: "Montreal-comic Derek Seguin stole one of the most star-studded gala shows last year from host Whitney Cummings. This year, he appeared in The Nasty Show and proceeded to steal that too. A true star and Montreal's pride and joy."
The Montreal Gazette enthused that: "Derek Seguin earned a standing ovation for his set during the ninth Just for Laughs gala ... had me gasping for air, I was laughing so hard at the detailing of his second date with his Newfoundland girlfriend. ... What made it great, however, was not the boldness of his material but that he described it all in such childlike wonder. Brilliant." He has also appeared on CBC Radio's, "The Debaters" more than forty times and is one of the show's fan favourites. Undeniably one of Canada's hottest comedians, he fittingly walked away with the top prize of Sirius XM's Canada's Top Comic competition a few years ago; a contest that spanned the entire country with finalists from every major city.
In March 2021, it was announced that Derek's latest Album, "PanDerek - 1st Wave" had been nominated for a Juno award. Yet another milestone in an illustrious and hilarious career. Whether he's ragging on politics or describing life with his children, he brings us into his perspective without preaching any selfish point of view. His undeniable charm makes him simply fun to watch and listen to and is in large part why he is one of Canada's most "in demand" comedians. The quintessential performer, Derek is a stand-up comedian, actor, host, narrator, voice actor and most importantly, father of 3 beautiful children... and all this, in both English and French (especially the "papa" part). A consummate professional, Derek is at home on stage in a comedy club, conference centre, theatre, arena, school or arts centre. He tailors his sets for all audiences and can work clean or filthy. There is no evening that won't be livened up by the addition of Derek's natural charm, honed comedic genius and warm, witty banter.
