Penumbra Theatre Théâtre Pénombre to Present BE MORE CHILL At Moyse Hall Theatre This October

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.
