THE THEORY OF ACCELERATED HOTNESS Comes to The Assembly Theatre

By:

Three plays for three actors! The Theory of Accelerated Hotness is a collection of three brand-new short plays by Toronto playwright Andrew Batten mashed together into a single theatrical experience. Actors Anne McMaster, Chris Peterson and Carley Thorne integrate three different stories into a distinct performance that explores issues of power, privilege and perspective. Moving effortlessly back and forth between plot lines, switching characters in an instant, and all the while continually questioning their own roles as artists, these talented performers present a collection of unrelated stories that nevertheless all share similar themes, including how we respond to the exercise of power, how those in power respond to voices less heard, and how we challenge a world view that seems to have no room for us.

Directed by Julia Haist, who recently directed Andrew Batten's latest play Or Not To Be, and stage managed by Carinna Cojeen, The Theory of Accelerated Hotness previews Thursday, Nov. 22, and opens Friday, Nov. 23 at 8:00 pm at The Assembly Theatre, 1479 Queen St. W.

Preview: Thursday, Nov. 22

Performances: Friday, Nov. 23 - Sunday, Nov. 25 and Tuesday, Nov. 27 - Thursday, Nov. 29

All shows start at 8:00 p.m.
