Twenty Something Theatre presents Temporary Thing’s production of The Bomb-itty of Errors – a fast-paced, energetic, musical “ad-rap-tation” of William Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors. Elizabethan times get pumped up with live hip-hop flavour, as the actors sing, rap and rhyme fun, catchy and laugh-out-loud songs that retain much of the Bard’s original text – all with a live DJ on stage and original music by Anami Vice. Starring Brian Cochrane, David Kaye, Nick Kopansis and Jameson Parker.

SPRING DEVELOPMENT: Us & Everything We Own by Sean Minogue

On May 6, 2012 Twenty Something Theatre will present a public staged reading of Sean Minogue’s new play Us & Everything We Own – a young man whose hunger to be successful ruins his once-perfect relationship. Blurring the lines between friends and business, he gets in over his head in a foolish investment scheme and discovers how much he’s truly been risking.

This public staged reading is phase one in a 2-year development plan that will culminate in the World Premiere production in 2013.
