Calgary event: Dragonfly

Opening this week in Calgary, is a "comic book dance theatre" production called Dragonfly. Looking for the Shatner connection? Co-writer Ken Cameron emailed to tell UPPERCASE, "I went to school at McGill University, and started my theatre career at Players' Theater, in the William Shatner Building, where Bill himself started out."

"We are performing at the Big Secret Theatre from May 9-19.  The play is called Dragonfly, Episode IV: Identity and it features two superheroes of our own invention in a Super-heroic love story. When we did a small-scale workshop production at the Edmonton and Calgary Fringe Theatre Festivals audiences were leaving the theatre mock-fighting in imitation of the show's climatic rooftop-battle finale. That seems to me to be the highest praise geeks like us could ask for.  Plus the critics gave it four stars (out of more than 110 plays at the festival)."

Tickets are less than $15 and available at 263-0079. For more info about the production, go to www.theatreofthelivingstatue.com.
