Sick + Twisted Theatre, Winnipeg’s own disability theatre company, is thrilled to present our 3rd Annual Holiday Panto!: “Jax, The Beanstalk, and The Emperor’s New Clothes”, an outrageous, joyful celebration of inclusion, laughter, and the spirit of the season.

Jax and their mother are hungry: the crops don't have enough water to grow, and the cow has stopped giving milk. Could this have something to do with the new President Emperor Elect in Skyworld who wants to annex the Lowlands for their fresh water and natural resources? Can Jax get to the bottom of it before the Emperor is sworn in in his magical new suit? Come see the inauguration where the naked truth of tyranny is revealed!

Murder on Tap by Murder on the Menu
Do you like true crime podcasts? Fancy yourself a detective? Enjoy live Theatre? Join us for one of our audience interactive Murder Mysteries while enjoying beverages at the “Doctor’s Lounge” where they serve all their Wines, Meads, Sangria and Ciders by the glass. They also have other craft cocktails and beverages using their own products too. And, you need to try out their flatbread and more!

Master winemaker thinks he has created the next great wine that will make him a millionaire, but just when he’s about to unveil it, something sinister happens! Was it a Tinder date gone terribly wrong? Or did those two arguing sports fans find someone else to disagree with? Maybe that Social Media Influencer posted the wrong picture. What about the regular who always has a story? Does he know the answer? Perhaps we’ll just have to leave it up to the junior criminologist, who only comes here to study, to figure out who did it and why.
Food and drink to purchase. (No outside food or drink allowed)

SOOKRAM’S DOUBLE FEATURE NIGHT
1 Ticket. 2 Cult Classics. 1 16 oz Specialty Sookram’s Draft. All for $15.

“Life’s a show, and some of us were born to steal it.”
Step into the glam-splattered dreamscape of Phantom of the Paradise and Labyrinth. Two operatic fever dreams of music, obsession, and glittering rebellion. These aren’t just movies. They’re rock operas, glam fairy tales, and cinematic hallucinations where the music isn’t just part of the story; it is the story.
First up, Phantom of the Paradise... Winnipeg’s favourite cult movie. No other city has embraced De Palma’s neon-drenched rock opera quite like ours.
Then fall headfirst into Jim Henson’s Labyrinth, where David Bowie’s Jareth lures you with riddles, rhythm, and a voice that could bend time. It’s a journey through love, illusion, and the beat of a magic drum.
Whether you're here to chant “Life at Last” or sway to “As the World Falls Down,” this double feature is your escape into mirrors, into myth, into the heart of the music.
This is not just a night at the movies.
Dress loud. Sing proud. And don’t be late.

Ensuring the Magic of Outdoor Theatre Lives On

This past year’s climate instability has had a tangible impact. We faced 14 performances that were either modified or cancelled entirely due to conditions like wildfires, air quality issues, flash storms, and smoke. We had cast members struggling with vocal strain from the smoke.

By supporting us now, you’re helping protect the wonder of theatre in nature. We can’t do it without you.
Your generous support will go directly into tangible actions that will keep SIR thriving.
Here are just a few of the areas where your donations will make a real difference:
Enhancing Audience Care and Accessibility: We need to ensure everyone has a comfortable experience. That means adding more porta-potties to reduce wait times, and make it easier for everyone to enjoy the show.
 
Upgrading Our Infrastructure: We’re transitioning to a new digital system that will revolutionize how we communicate with you, streamline ticketing, and improve our overall audience engagement.

Expanding New Play Development: We’re proud of the new works that have emerged from SIR, like Dark Lady, The Player King and Pandora, which started right here in Winnipeg and have since been performed across provinces. We want to continue nurturing Manitoba talent, developing new plays, and sharing our unique voice with even wider audiences. New plays require deep care: workshops, many re-writes, try-out readings, time and resources!
 
Please consider donating today so that SIR can continue to thrive, rain or shine. With your help, we’ll keep the wonder alive.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Rodrigo Beilfuss, artistic director, Shakespeare in the Ruins

Monster
Dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda    2023, 125 min    Japanese with English subtitles

When her young son Minato starts to behave strangely, his mother feels that there is something wrong. Discovering that a teacher is responsible, she storms into the school demanding to know what’s going on. But as the story unfolds through the eyes of mother, teacher and child, the truth gradually emerges.
“Hirokazu Kore-eda’s latest, scored by the late Ryuichi Sakamoto, is a dense, shape-shifting drama that grows more scattered as it progresses.” – Little White Lies

Meule is made of modular synths, a guitar, two drums by three musicians crossed at the bend of other Touraine bands (Thé Vanille, C4DILL4C, Lehmanns Brothers). Their music is carried by repetitive and saturated grooves a la CAN, sequencers and electronic atmospheres reminiscent of Tangerine Dream and the German kraut softs bands of the 70s.

Rayannah is a Franco-Manitoban artist, producer, beat-maker and artistic director based in Winnipeg. She unveiled her first full length studio album Nos repaires (Our Haunts) in March of 2019. She went on to be named “Francophone Artist of the Year” and “Producer of the Year” at the Western Canadian Music Awards in 2019. She has toured across Canada, Europe and Latin-America and opened for international acts including Esperanza Spalding and Cœur de Pirate.
As a producer, Rayannah has worked on a variety of projects including studio albums and sound design for theatre and film. In 2021 she stepped into the role of artistic director with her immersive multi-disciplinary project Afterglow which saw artists from different disciplines collaborate on an innovative virtual performance. She went on to found and spearhead HYPERART - a Winnipeg-based multidisciplinary festival featuring collaborative performances and installations.

Register: https://mawa.ca/events/digital-drawing-in-procreate-with-cato-cormier?fbclid=IwAR3Vv6Lv8ZGYE6ennWc73Y_BOYNVHlMTHJTYZ-hA1zG4YVUjHHERPhJWDfI

Learn about the essential features of Procreate, the digital drawing app (for iPad only) that has become indispensable for many since its launch in 2011. This workshop will take you through the basics of this versatile and user-friendly drawing tool: how to create a canvas; all about brushes (line weight, opacity, texture, customization); blending; layering; undos and redos; adding text; making adjustments; sharing your work... and much more!
The afternoon will consist of a series of live demonstrations followed by some hands-on activities. Please bring along an iPad and stylus pen, with Procreate installed and ready to use.

Cato Cormier is a self-taught illustrator and cartoonist. They draw strange humanoids, regular folks and the bits and bobs that make up their worlds. Much of their work explores the joy and absurdity of having a body. It is at times surreal, often cheeky and always earnest.

No cost to play currently.
All skills welcome. Cards and boards provided. I also provide name tags.

Cribbage returns to the Heather Curling Club!
My name is Lyndon, I've lived in Winnipeg for the past 20 years. I've been playing cribbage off and on probably since I was 10. I joined a cribbage group in early 2019, really enjoyed play with the group. It was on Wilton. However, my work schedule changed since that year and late 2021 and early 2022, my dream was to host my own cribbage nights.
So, I started buying cribbage boards and cards and now have a great stock for large groups. We are still a small group, but I could host up to 80 players.
Winnipeg Free Press had a story on the cribbage nights in the November 10th paper. The online version is updated with photos of myself.

We play in an area of the club’s fully licensed restaurant. They have some good selections on their menu. Feel free to come before and have a bite to eat. You can bring your own water.

We play in partners, where winners move to the next table and switch with one that didn’t win. You don’t need to bring a partner either, come solo and you'll join a table. This is just a fun night to meet people.
