The Drawer Boy is set in my hometown -- Clinton, Ontario -- and is my all-time favorite play!!

Theatre Passe Muraille presents
The Drawer Boy by Michael Healey

Michael Healey’s multi-award winning play The Drawer Boy burst out of Theatre Passe Muraille in 1999, becoming one of the decade’s most popular and successful shows across North America and around the globe.
To mark the 40th anniversary of Theatre Passe Muraille, the company is delighted to present the homecoming of The Drawer Boy in an all-new production. Don’t miss this special opportunity to see the new classic of Canadian drama in the intimate theatre where the phenomenon began.
The Drawer Boy is based on the true story of the creation of Theatre Passe Muraille’s Farm Show, which was developed by a group of actors who went to live in Clinton, Ontario in 1972. Funny and moving in equal share, The Drawer Boy begins with the clash of urban and rural, youth and middle age, the life of the artist versus the life of the farmer. It ends on a profoundly hopeful note of transformation through the power of storytelling.
Previews: Tuesday, Oct 23 8:00 pm Wednesday, Oct 24 8:00 pm Thursday, Oct 25 8:00 pm Opening Friday, Oct 26 8:00 pm
Limited engagement to November 18.

Jaya_8 Roman Mythololgy 0 Sep 11 2007, 11:30 AM EDT by Jaya_8

The reason that I chose Roman Mythology was because I found many aspects about it very interesting. My favourite ancient roman god that I read about was Cupid. Many of us think that the “Cupid” is a made up person that makes people fall in love but the Romans believe that he was real. He was often described as beautiful but wanton. I learned that Cupid was the son of the love goddess Venus. Venus was jealous of Psysye (the soul that Cupid loved), Venus told Cupid to make her fall in love with the most ugly man in the world, but instead Cupid himself fell in-love with her. Cupid and Psysye named their child Voluptas (pleasure).

Hiepz Japanese Mythology 0 Sep 11 2007, 11:24 AM EDT by Hiepz

The type of mythology I picked was Japanese mythology. I picked this kind of Mythology because it seemed interesting in a way It talked about the three gods that made the world which were the sun goddess, Amaterasu, the moon god, Tsukiyomi and the god of the sea and storms, Susanoo. My favourite god of all was Susanoo who was banished from the heavens because he killed one of Amaterasu’s attendants in a fit of rage, destroyed her rice fields and hurled the corpse of a horse at her loom. While he was banished he was sent to the province of Izumo and helped a elderly couple kill a eight headed creature called the Orochi for the hand of the last daughter of the couple. He found a sword, which he named the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, which he presented to Amaterasu as a reconciliation gift and later to her descendant as proof of his right to rule.
