Photo Flash: First Look at Jillian Peever in THE MYSTERY OF MR. LEFTOVERS

THE MYSTERY OF MR. LEFTOVERS is a desperate and uncomfortable plea for companionship and love - laced with poetic monologues and movement. A contemporary performance piece that merges dynamic dance with outrageous theatrics, it is the first-ever, full-length solo work performed by emerging artist Jillian Peever.

The show, featuring text, choreography and direction by Sharon B. Moore, runs now through February 27, 2016, at Winchester Street Theatre, 80 Winchester Street, Toronto. BroadwayWorld has a look at Peever onstage below!

Acclaimed dance artist Sharon B. Moore (K.M. Hunter Award nominee, triple Dora nominee) provides text, choreography and direction, while dance icon Peggy Baker (Governor General's Award for Lifetime Achievement) acts as Peever's solo-performance mentor. The dramaturge is Derek Aasland.

In a series of odd circumstantial adventures, Mr. Leftovers searches through the echoes of his own history leaving him somewhat unassembled. His interior world is made up of leftover thoughts: thoughts he did not communicate but wanted to, the thoughts of others, stuttering recapitulations of self-commentary, analysis and extreme - sometimes socially unacceptable - behaviour. He seeks to build himself up by discovering, readjusting and fulfilling his own legend of himself, whether true or false.

THE MYSTERY OF MR. LEFTOVERS inherently asks questions of the human condition - with a side of ridiculousness.

Tickets: $25 ($20 seniors, students, CADA, Arts Worker). Tickets available online at www.jillianpeever.com or at the door, one hour prior to curtain.
