The Tarantino Cabaret at Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse

From his older cult classics like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Kill Bill, all the way to newer hits including Django Unchained and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood – Toronto Film School students will be tackling many of Quentin Tarantino’s quirkiest characters when their upcoming production of The Tarantino Cabaret takes to the stage.

“With his uniqueness of vision, iconic characters and dialogue, films bursting with action, imagery andunforgettable music, Quentin Tarantino is arguably the most original, influential director in cinema over the last 30 years,” said Jonathan Higgins, who conceived and directs the 75-minute play.

“So why then am I choosing to showcase the work of this film director for the fifth term TFS play? Quite simply, because his body of work offers a feast of unique, vivid characters to these talented, soon-to-be graduates, as well as the opportunity to strut their stuff – to pour everything they have into the creation of an utterly original evening in a cabaret format that I truly feel showcases the wonderful collection of talent we have at TFS!”

The Tarantino Cabaret, which is stage managed by Elvin Lejano, will take to the stage at the Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse for a three-performance run on June 21, 22 and 23 as follows:

• Wednesday, June 21 at 9 p.m.
• Thursday, June 22 at 7 p.m.
• Friday, June 23 at 9 p.m.
