High School Touring (2F, 1M + backtracks) Winner of a generous Canada Council development grant Book/Lyrics by Vanessa LeBourdais & Ian Gschwind Synopsis It's the year 2033 and Raya Ragnarok is about to graduate high school and is ready for adventure and true love. When she takes a minute to freshen her lipstick in the bathroom at a party, two bumbling time travelers from the future crash out from behind the shower curtain. They tell Raya that she is someone who will have to make a decision impacting the whole of humanity one day. However, currently the probability of her making the correct decision is only 4.2%. They have come to increase the probability wave by helping help her learn to listen to her instincts. She has two chances to remake her choices and learn how to make a good decision. (It would have been three chances, but the girl from the future used one up, to see if mauve was the right colour for the lobby in the intergalactic spaceport. Incidentally, it wasn't.) Set to high-energy pop music, with zany multiple roles for two of the actors. back to top In 2005, we were awarded a generous grant from the Canada Council of the Arts to write and workshop DON'T PANIC! We wrote the show over the winter of 2005 and in the spring and summer of 2006, we held two workshops. Directed by Wayne Specht of Axis Theatre, music directed by Vanessa, with Jeremy Crittenden, Sara Holt and Melissa Young. back to top Recorded by me - imagine if you would, great pop backtracks. -Raya contemplates true love and the right lipstick. -Two time travelers from the future arrive in the bathtub at the party. -Raya's heartthrob, Huff Broadman, sings about his perfection.
