oblivion by Jonathan Brower

Join us for two highly entertaining and thought-provoking one-act plays by Canadian playwrights. In The Boy’s Own Jedi Handbook, a thirty-somethings Star Wars nut recounts how the movie franchise shaped his youth and how it continues to inspire him as an adult. This hilarious short play from the writer of Mary’s Wedding celebrates the imagination and pays homage to the space fantasy that changed the world.

Then, in oblivion,
A young gay man is consumed with a battle to reconcile his sexuality with his faith. Can a simple pill cure all and bring peace? A compassionate, but relentless exploration of faith and identity, this short play asks important questions about theology, faith, and sexuality, and invites empathetic understanding of those who feel caught in the middle.
