DaPoPo Theatre's Live-In Festival

The quirky and talented thespians behind DaPoPo Theatre will host their sixth annual Live-In Festival this October. The month-long celebration of Canadian theatre features readings, workshops, panels, community events and live performances in the TNS Living Room on Agricola Street. Festival highlights include the Thanksgiving potluck dinner and the play-reading series. Dan Bray, Best Playwright winner from the 2013 Atlantic Fringe Festival, will offer a promising script called Still Far Still Wide that imagines a fictional encounter between Edgar Allen Poe and Emily Dickinson—a meeting steeped in the supernatural. DaPoPo member Zach Faye says the festival is dedicated to providing accessible programming to the local community, and every performance is offered by donation ($10 suggested).
