Getting to Room Temperature 

By Arthur Milner | Producing Theatre: Curtain Razors

Curtain Razors in partnership with RPL Film Theatre and New Dance Horizon’s (NDH) Love & Loss Series

What it's about: Getting to Room Temperature is a hard-hitting, sentimental and funny one-person play about dying. Based on a mostly true story by playwright Arthur Milner and — for the first time — performed by Arthur Milner.

“My spry mother was ninety-three and a half when she took a turn for the worse. I accompanied her to the doctor. He closed a file on his desk, turned to her and said, ‘Well, Rose, what can I do for you?’ My mother said, ‘Doctor, I would like to die. Can you help me?’ The doctor said, ‘No. And don’t ask me again.’ And I thought: I can write a play about this.”

This play is in production with Curtain Razors.

When: February 5th - 7th, 2022

Where: RPL Film Theatre. 2311 12th Avenue | Regina, SK S4P 0N3

Shadows Among the Prairies

By Jennifer Dawn Bishop | Producing Theatre: Gordon Tootoosis Nikaniwin Theatre

A woman, Elaine wakes to a disturbing limbo full of shadow beings, shadows that were once living humans. Elaine must find her way through this shadowed in between world with no memory of who she is or how she died. Elaine’s only companions, a young half crazed woman that died in the 1930’s and an old friend from the past. Can each of them find the light? Or fall further into darkness?
