THEATRE | Bliss
Quebecois surrealism becomes a reality at Buddies In Bad Times theatre with the English-Canadian premiere of the dark Olivier Choinière play Bliss. This internationally acclaimed script tells the story of an oracle who channels Céline Dion, spouting the gospel of the Quebecois songstress to cashiers at a local Wal-Mart. The oracle takes the audience through the lives of one of Dion's biggest fans while examining the hysteria for celebrity gossip in Steven McCarthy's interpretation of the translated piece. The show runs until April 8th with only 12 performances scheduled so book ahead.
Buddies In Bad Times Theatre (12 Alexander Street) 8PM $33
