The Night Logan Woke Up

As a girl, Emilia Lynch would cheat insomnia by slipping into neighbouring houses to spy on people as they slept, including her childhood crush Logan Goodyear.

Now, many years later, Emilia— an internationally renowned embalmer to the rich and famous— has returned to her small Newfoundland town following the death of her mother. As she prepares for the funeral alongside her three brothers, a shocking revelation is unearthed in her mother’s will; the final devastating consequence of the night Logan woke up.

Surreal, daring, and darkly funny, The Night Logan Woke Up is one of Bouchard’s finest works, making its long-awaited English language world premiere.

A Co-Production by Resource Centre for the Arts Theatre, Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland, and Tarragon Theatre.

Based on the play “La nuit où Laurier Gaudreault s’est réveillé” by Michel Marc Bouchard, adapted by Robert Chafe, directed by Jillian Keiley, Commissioned by Playwrights’ Workshop Montréal and the Stratford Festival, and developed the with support of PWM.

First Métis Man of Odesa

Matt and Masha hit it off during a theatre research trip in Ukraine. At first, they seem like opposites: Masha loves the sea, Matt loves mountains. Masha is Ukrainian, Matt is Métis. But the passionate spark ignited between them cannot be denied. Despite the improbabilities of a cross-continental relationship, a few fairy-tale visits overseas solidify their bond. But when it seems distance could be the only obstacle in their path, a series of extreme circumstances put their commitment to the ultimate test.

Based on actual events, First Métis Man of Odesa is the extraordinary true story of a whirlwind romance that withstands a global pandemic, a surprise pregnancy, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Transcending the usual tropes of documentary theatre, this heartwarming how-we-got-together tale turns art of the here and now into a catalyst for action and a hopeful ode for a better future.
