Theatre Brouhaha Presents FEATHERWEIGHT At The Toronto Fringe!

Award-winning theatre company Theatre Brouhaha returns to the Toronto Fringe this summer with a new production FEATHERWEIGHT at the historical Paddock Tavern this July 4-16th. Featuring an all-star cast and crew of past Fringe favorites, Brouhaha returns to the festival after its sold-out, Best of Fringe 2016 production Bright Lights (NNNNN) to the venue it first brought to the 2013 Fringe with its immersive smash-hit We Are The Bomb.

Upon dying, Jeff awakes in a bar full of ancient gods that will weigh his browser history against a feather to determine if he was a good person or face damnation. But as his trial proceeds, we quickly realize that his judge, Anubis, has an agenda of her own and all may not be as it seems. Can her long-suffering butler Thoth keep the trial on-track, even as she is forced to channel the important spirits of Jeff's life? And what is Jeff willing to give up for a chance at closure? Equal parts 'American Gods' and 'Twelve Angry Men,' FEATHERWEIGHT asks: what effect does our online life have on others? Will Jeff's browser history damn him? Would it damn you?

This festival also marks the first adult production by Shakey-Shake and Friends playwright and Brouhaha co-founder Tom McGee (writer and director), with Kat Sandler acting as producer and dramaturge. The production stars Michael Musi (CBC's Kim's Convenience, Brouhaha's Late Night, Liver, Retreat) as Jeff, Dora Award Winner* (and recent nominee**) Kat Letwin (VideoCabaret's Confederation I&II**, Chaise Gallerie*, Brouhaha's Late Night, Retreat) as the long-suffering attendant Thoth, and Amanda Cordner (Penelope in Hart House's upcoming The Penelopiad, Body So Fluorescent, and Shakey-Shake's Twelfth Night...A Puppet Epic!) as the suicidal god of judgment Anubis.

FEATHERWEIGHT runs July 4-8th, and 10-15th at 8pm at The Paddock Tavern (178 Bathurst Street, corner of Queen and Bathurst). Tickets are $13 in advance and are available at FringeToronto.com, by phone at 416-996-1062, at the main festival box office at Scadding Court (707 Dundas St West during the festival), or at the door.
