SUMMARY:VITALS
DESCRIPTION:VITALS by Rosamund Small is a powerful one-woman show exploring the lived experience of a Toronto paramedic. Originally performed in 2014\, VITALS is reimagined for 2026 to reflect how healthcare has been profoundly reshaped over the past 12 years.  Performed and embodied for the first time by a healthcare worker who lived through it\, Dr. Janet McMordie. \n\n\n\nBased on real interviews with paramedics\, physicians and nurses\, VITALS examines life-and-death calls\, bureaucracy\, burnout\, and the emotional toll of frontline health care. Director Alaine Hutton (Lester Trips) brings the text to life where the body becomes the site of memory\, strain\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nPrior to each performance\, enjoy live music by frontline workers in the lobby of the theatre beginning 1 hour prior to curtain. \n\n\n\nSelect performances will feature post-show talkbacks exploring themes such as theatre and the health humanities (with University of Toronto faculty)\, improvisation and medical care\, and post-pandemic mental health (with a practicing psychotherapist). \n\n\n\nProceeds from ticket sales will support Frontline Families Canada\, a non-profit that provides support and programs for the families of fallen first responders. \n\n\n\nDr. Janet McMordie – Performer \n\n\n\nRosamund Small – Playwright \n\n\n\nAlaine Hutton – Director & Dramaturg \n\n\n\nChris Holtkamp – Associate Director \n\n\n\nLaura Philipps – Producer \n\n\n\nMary-Kate Terepka – Paramedic Consultant & Community Liaison \n\n\n\nKaleigh O’Brien – Paramedic Consultant for 2014 Premiere \n\n\n\nProduced by Second Act Actor Productions | 75 Minutes | Age Recommendation 14+ | Content warning: This play contains explicit descriptions of violence\, gore\, sexual assault and self-harm including suicide.

SUMMARY:VITALS
DESCRIPTION:VITALS by Rosamund Small is a powerful one-woman show exploring the lived experience of a Toronto paramedic. Originally performed in 2014\, VITALS is reimagined for 2026 to reflect how healthcare has been profoundly reshaped over the past 12 years.  Performed and embodied for the first time by a healthcare worker who lived through it\, Dr. Janet McMordie. \n\n\n\nBased on real interviews with paramedics\, physicians and nurses\, VITALS examines life-and-death calls\, bureaucracy\, burnout\, and the emotional toll of frontline health care. Director Alaine Hutton (Lester Trips) brings the text to life where the body becomes the site of memory\, strain\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nPrior to each performance\, enjoy live music by frontline workers in the lobby of the theatre beginning 1 hour prior to curtain. \n\n\n\nSelect performances will feature post-show talkbacks exploring themes such as theatre and the health humanities (with University of Toronto faculty)\, improvisation and medical care\, and post-pandemic mental health (with a practicing psychotherapist). \n\n\n\nProceeds from ticket sales will support Frontline Families Canada\, a non-profit that provides support and programs for the families of fallen first responders. \n\n\n\nDr. Janet McMordie – Performer \n\n\n\nRosamund Small – Playwright \n\n\n\nAlaine Hutton – Director & Dramaturg \n\n\n\nChris Holtkamp – Associate Director \n\n\n\nLaura Philipps – Producer \n\n\n\nMary-Kate Terepka – Paramedic Consultant & Community Liaison \n\n\n\nKaleigh O’Brien – Paramedic Consultant for 2014 Premiere \n\n\n\nProduced by Second Act Actor Productions | 75 Minutes | Age Recommendation 14+ | Content warning: This play contains explicit descriptions of violence\, gore\, sexual assault and self-harm including suicide. It is not recommended for younger audiences. \n\n\n\nPerformance Schedule \n\n\n\nSaturday May 2\, 2026: 7:30pm \n\n\n\nSunday May 3\, 2026: 2:00pm (post-show talkback) \n\n\n\nThursday May 7\, 2026: 7:30pm (post-show talkback) \n\n\n\nFriday May 8\, 2026: 7:30pm (post-show talkback) \n\n\n\nSaturday May 9\, 2026: 2:00pm \n\n\n\nSaturday May 9\, 2026: 7:30pm (post-show talkback) \n\n\n\nSunday May 10\, 2026: 2:00pm

SUMMARY:12 Litres 8800 Steps
DESCRIPTION:The Unbridled Theatre Collective and Aluna Theatre presents 12 Litres 8800 Steps \n\n\n\n12 Litres 8800 Steps is an interdisciplinary theatrical odyssey that invites us into the world of people who have lost loved ones to addiction: One woman’s journey in coming to terms with the fragility of her own mental health while witnessing the demise of her partner through addiction. A Horse appears and magic realism collides with the everyday reality of living with and loving an addict.  \n\n\n\nMoving between fantasy and reality\, past and present and inspired by equine therapy\, the play explores the deepening bond between The Horse and The Woman: how they come together to negotiate their relationship\, re-discover play and how they eventually heal each other in the process. An 80-minute high octane rollercoaster with stunning visuals and an immersive soundscape\, 12 Litres 8800 Steps is for anyone seeking a silver lining in the dark. \n\n\n\nContent/Sensory Warnings\nContent warning: addiction\, mental health\, death \n\n\n\nSensory warning: loud immersive sound \n\n\n\n\nProduction Credits\n\n\n\nCREATOR\, DIRECTOR AND PERFORMER Anita La Selva \n\n\n\nPERFORMER Brad Cook \n\n\n\nCO-DIRECTOR Beatriz Pizano \n\n\n\nPRODUCTION DRAMTURG Martin Julien \n\n\n\nSCENOGRAPHER Trevor Schwellnus \n\n\n\nCHOREOGRAPHER Victoria Mata \n\n\n\nSOUND DESIGNER Thomas Ryder Payne \n\n\n\nCOSTUME DESIGNER Teresa Pryzbylski \n\n\n\nCO-DESIGNER/BUILDER – HORSE MASK Monica Viani \n\n\n\nPRODUCTION MANAGER Charissa Wilcox \n\n\n\nSTAGE MANAGER Flavía F.
