This Thursday, July 17th, “House” (by Daniel MacIvor) is being presented by Corner of Clark & Vine Pegwarmers Productions at Live Arts. It’s a one-hour show, pay-what-you-can, and starts at 7:30pm in the Upstage Theater.
Daniel MacIvor is an award-winning Canadian playwright, fimmaker, and director. “House” comes from his comedy “House/Humans”, which was first printed in 1994. The character in “House,” Victor, is noted as “a man on the edge” on the playwright’s website.
It sounds entertaining and unique, so be sure to stop by and support this one-night production. It’s your only chance to see this latest collaborative endeavor from Autumn Shiley and J Hernandez!

Man, that show was funny. In the beginning it was a little too much stand-up comedy for me, but it got more and more theatrical and more and more intense. It all started to fall into place. My favorite part was when he ran into the audience and said: “oh no, it’s that part where he runs into the audience!” The play itself was not the best I’ve ever seen (despite the hilarity) but the acting and the direction were astonishing. To make a one man show so entertaining definately takes a true and talented director and actor alike.
btw. this is the second play I have seen at the studio where people didn’t realize when it was over!
What is it about?
That’s hard to say, especially without spoiling it. It’s about this guy Victor who tells the audience about his experience in Group Therapy. In the widest sense it’s about approaches to life and its frustrations and delights. It’s as funny as it is depressing.
