Global Calgary Supports: ATP’s Undressed online event

Playwrights Projects 2020 kicks off with a workshop of Alberta theatre artist Louise Casemore’s Undressed from June 8-13. This hilarious, heartfelt solo show explores a simple but confounding question: What do you do with a used wedding dress? What follows is a real-time zero waste auction, as Casemore embodies each of the brides who have chosen to let their wedding gown go. Each woman has a unique, moving story to tell as Casemore morphs from character to character. Undressed is a world premiere, commissioned and developed by Alberta Theatre Projects, and is scheduled to receive its World Premiere at Alberta Theatre Projects in March 2021 as part of the 2020-2021 Season.

The Undressed workshop will culminate in an exciting one-night-only online event on Saturday, June 13 at 7:00 p.m. Alberta Theatre Projects and Deane House have teamed up to create a special viewing and dining experience, featuring a live online reading of Undressed and a three-course meal and sommelier selected wine, specially curated by Chef Christopher Barton. The reading will be followed by a twenty-minute Q&A with Casemore moderated by Alberta Theatre Projects Executive & Artistic Director Darcy Evans. Tickets are $150 each.
