Warning: Partial Nudity! Mature Contents! Glitter!
Miss Sugarpuss has a problem: someone is trying to kill
her! Five years after her explosion onto the burlesque
stage, quadruple-threat performer and native
Montrealer, Holly Gauthier-Frankel unleashes her
most dazzling show yet. Co-written and directed by
theatrical Renaissance man, Paul Van Dyck, this
hilariously dark vaudevillian romp reveals Montréal’s
Queen of Burlesque and her alter-ego in the
stripdown of their lives.

I AM I

Written by Mike Czuba
Directed by Larry Lamont
With Tamara Brown, George Bekiaris, Tristan D. Lalla &
Tai Timber
WARNING: This play contains language, some of it
may offend. Not for kids.
I AM I is an exploration into the duality of the modern
man. One side wants to quietly merge into the traffic
of the masses, while the other side wants to cut a
new path through the wilderness. This conflict comes
to head with the introduction of Sonya, the metaphor
for all that came before. I AM I is a rock’n’roll, metatheatrical
experience where truth is always in doubt.

WARNING: Some sexual/mature situations
…the itsy bitsy spider… is an original adaptation of
Dostoevsky’s “Demons” conceived and directed by
Alexandre Marine. The play revolves around a
controversial chapter in the novel that was censored
for decades in Russia. What is revealed in this chapter
permeates the events of the entire novel – and has
been the springboard for this production. Marine brings the tumultuous relationships and psyches of
the characters to the fore in this production about a
town torn apart by conspiracy, fanaticism and
plotting revolutionaries.

Hypnogogic Logic
Jan. 4 - 7PM
Jan. 8 - 9PM
Jan. 9 - 1PM
Jan 13 - 7PM
Jan. 15 - 1PM
Presented by Uncalled for
Created by Matt Goldberg, Mike Hughes, Dan
Jeannotte and Anders Yates
Featuring Matt Goldberg, Dan Jeannotte, Nicolas
Wright and Anders Yates
What is Hypnogogic Logic? The hypnogogic state is the quasi-hallucinatory zone between waking and sleeping. Therefore hypnogogic logic is the skewed reasoning that flows through your head as you are falling asleep. It must then follow that Uncalled For presents: Hypnogogic Logic is a trippy, literate sketch comedy ride through the obviously ridiculous world of dreams. Hilarious, brain-bending and epic, this is a show that can't even tell if it's awake or not.

By Ned Cox
Directed by Tanner Harvey
Starring Paula Costain & Johanna Nutter
Which is the real twin? Perdita is her sister Isobel's only
link to the outside world, but their daily rituals are
getting to be a strain on them both. Here in their
claustrophobic house, on this snowy winter's
afternoon, there are Martini-stoked memories of a
childhood that may never have been shared. Anger
over duplicities and deaths that may never have
happened. A Vaudeville act that may never have
seen the limelight. Reality may be just another luxury
for the Duplicity Girls.

In icy, wintry Montreal where's a soul to go for

reveal, the strip clubs of Montreal in the '90s were in
as high demand as those more sanctified places of
refuge. From the iconic feature dancer, to the table
dance confessional, Neon Nightz explores the human
side to the world of exotic dancing and uncovers
some surprising revelations.
