8 MINUTES LEFT
The world is coming to an end at exactly 4:44PM today, and no one has had any time to prepare. 8 Minutes follows the lives of people as they navigate their final moments on this Earth – from a couple with a bunker in their backyard who can’t quite figure out how to get in, to two elderly frenemies who fight over their favorite park bench, to a mother observing her children on a playground as she wonders what their lives would have become. This thoughtful and keenly observed play manages to find the intimate humor of humans in crisis. Prepare to laugh or maybe even need tissues.

Inflation blues got you down? It seems everywhere you look prices are going up. Well, this summer GBRT is offering you something you probably haven’t seen in a long time - a bargain! We’re giving you these two shows together for the price of one!
Turncoat Hill
Our first show of the evening is a beautiful one act coming of age tale written by Rory Lambert and directed by Craig Haley. Taking place at the half-way point between Rattling Brook and King’s Point around the turn of the last century, this play tells the poignant story of two young companions, who come from opposite sides of the tracks. Join Beth and Thomas as they navigate their way through a world coloured by vivid folktales and long held superstitions. This heartfelt story filled with laughter and tears is not to be missed.
Ballad & Shanties & Tales To Tickle Your Fancy
Long before there were iPhones or even radios, the people of outport NL would entertain themselves the best way they knew how. They'd gather in church halls and basements, or in parlours and kitchens to sing songs and enact stories they’d learned off by heart. Some of it had been passed down for generations, while some more of it was the pure invention of colourful locals. Come join our fabulous cast of singers and storytellers as they present an old time variety show exploring this rich and wonderful part of our cultural heritage. We guarantee this show will be anything but a stiff and starchy history lesson!
