Eccentric artist Fenella Harford (Sylvestra Le Touzel) inherits her family’s stately home and uncovers a cache of hidden diaries that may rewrite its history. She recruits ambitious academic Marva (Rakie Ayola) to authenticate them, who in turn brings in her overlooked mentor Abi (Cherrelle Skeete), a meticulous expert with sharper instincts than she lets on. As the three women probe deeper into the documents, the house begins to yield uncomfortable truths about its colonial past. Personal histories begin to intertwine with national ones, tensions rise between the trio, and what starts as scholarly inquiry spirals into a confrontation with buried trauma, ownership, and the ghosts of Britain’s slave-trading legacy.

Going into auditions, I had already made assumptions about where I fit. I’m a freshman. I’m 18. And while I’ve played older roles before in high school (roles I absolutely loved), I guess I thought college would be different. I assumed I’d need to “work my way up” before being considered for characters like that again. So I didn’t audition for Grandpa Joe specifically. I didn’t really let myself imagine it as a possibility.

When not all the elements of a traditional production are present, things get stripped down to a more raw place. The focus is almost entirely on your voice, your instincts, and your ability to bring the material to life in a more intimate way. I had to trust that even the smallest decisions could still carry importance, and I wanted to challenge myself to approach things differently.

Having never attended a show at the Stage West Theatre here in Calgary, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. As a former performer for Jubilations Dinner Theatre, and a fan of Edmonton’s Mayfield Dinner Theatre, I was well versed in what the dinner theatre experience could be. Stage West finds a way to blend the silly, outrageous energy of a Jubilations show, with the more sophisticated, buffet-style dining experience of Mayfield. A nice balance and a great way to spend an evening with friends and loved ones.

I walked in knowing only a handful of the songs, and it made no difference. Hell’s Kitchen at the Straz is driven by feeling, character, and raw honesty. The music meets you where you are.

First performed in 1990, Gasping is Ben Elton’s debut stage play, a sharp, satirical comedy that takes gleeful aim at corporate excess. It quickly became a hit thanks to its exaggerated, almost cartoon‑like depiction of the high‑powered world of big business.

K7 Media's global forecast identified a notable tonal shift in reality TV: audiences are moving away from strategy-heavy competition and gravitating toward emotionally grounded narratives centered on collaboration and interpersonal stakes.
