Meat(less) Loaf
Premiered as a part of the
2022 Hamilton Fringe Festival to critical acclaim.
Meat(less) Loaf is what happens when a 20-something vegetarian actor with an ancestry.com subscription, too many feelings and a love for Meat Loaf desperately wants to create something good. Part storytelling, part culinary adventure, it is the tasting menu of searching for who you are. Its development has been generously supported by The Garden Project 2021, the Lighthouse Festival Theatre and the Hamilton Fringe.

it’s a beautiful day for brunch and to arrest the cops that killed breonna taylor
A digital cringe comedy exploring the absurd, awkward, and ridiculous real-life ways that non-Black people 'showed up,' 'did the work,' and 'had the tough conversations' in the wake of George Floyd's murder. It's a Beautiful Day for Brunch... And to Arrest the Cops That Killed Breonna Taylor asks us to consider what is at stake in the ways we engage racial justice and what more is asked of us in order to imagine a better world.
Originally presented at the 2021 Hamilton Fringe Festival Digital Exclusives to critical acclaim and again at the 2022 Living Record Festival in the United Kingdom, it is currently in re-development as a live stage production thanks to the support of the Ontario Arts Council.
Performers: Roselyne Dougé-Charles, Carly Anna Billings, Liz Whitbread, and Patrick Teed
