Penumbra Theatre Théâtre Pénombre will present its inaugural show, BE MORE CHILL at Moyse Hall Theatre in Montreal from October 4 - 7, 2023.

​Jeremy Heere is just an average teenager. That is, until he finds out about "The Squip," a tiny supercomputer that promises to bring him everything he desires most: a chance to survive life in his suburban New Jersey high school. But is being the most popular guy in school worth the risk?

"Having a computer in our pockets has become ubiquitous, Internet access a universal reality, and a truly original thought, uninfluenced by others, impossible. The super technology that makes this possible is neither wondrous nor nefarious, but a reflection of its users. And we are still the same: anxious in spite of having answers from everyone, insecure in spite of being more connected than ever. Our wonderful cast and crew have leaned into that vision, and I could not be more proud." - Adrian Saldanha, Director and Co-Founder of Penumbra Theatre Théâtre Pénombre.

BE MORE CHILL: The Musical will open at Moyse Hall Theatre (853 Sherbrooke St W, Montreal, Quebec H3A 0G5) on October 4th at 7:30pm.
