THEATRE LOCAL CREATES INVENTIVE SOCIAL SCULPTURE TO RUN ALL
NIGHT FOR LUCKY GROUPS OF NUIT BLANCHE REVELLERS

WYCHWOOD BARNS, TORONTO, ON –Theatre Local will present SMALL
AUDIENCES as part of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche, September 29th, 2012. SMALL
AUDIENCES consists of live performances inside “Canada’s Smallest Theatre”*: Late
night ‘Truth or Dare’, storytelling, Shakespeare, sound art, puppetry, snacks, film and TV
stars, opera, & more. Audiences are invited to be a part of a social sculpture they will never
forget.  Seating limited.

Every hour, a twelve person audiences will experience a ten to twenty minute performance.
Toronto’s top performing talent and a contingent of artists from the Wychwood Artists
Colony have been chosen for this 12-hour season of performance, film, short words and
sound art.
Running once an hour is 50 MONOLOGUES – a remix of Shakespeare’s monologues for
women, performed by Rebecca Singh, who admittedly, is wrong for most of the parts.
Directed by Jonathan Heppner and designed by Kimberly Purtell, this live performance
offers an invigorating take on many of Shakespeare’s ‘greatest hits’.

SMALL AUDIENCES is from the artists who created  “Tell YOUR Story” –Voted #1 “must-
see” in its zone by the Torontoist for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche in 2011.

Theatre Local is a conceptual artwork and producing project, which serves the city of
Toronto and wider performing arts networks. SMALL AUDIENCES is the second
Scotiabank Nuit Blanche social sculpture presented in “Canada’s Smallest Theatre”* and
proffers traditional performer/spectator experiences within the intimacy of a small group
setting.

Good things come in small packages…
