Synopsis: John Arthur Sweet, winner of the award for Outstanding Original Work at the 2023 On the Edge Fringe (for outside, in the laneway, under the stars), returns to North Bay for the third year in a row with a brand-new theatrical monologue.
After a visit from a mysterious lady from the “ministry of health and social whatever,” a man receives a form inviting him to participate in a program designed to free up space and resources. With the help of Gabriel, a kindly worker at the government services portal, he hopes to be able to find a workable solution. In the meantime, though, he’s living life to the fullest—on social media.
Multiple dates/showtimes available.
