You can check in but never leave at The ACT Club’s production of Hotel Archambeau

Posted on Author Tina Wayland Comments Off on You can check in but never leave at The ACT Club’s production of Hotel Archambeau

Take one haunted hotel, some questionable metaphysical boundaries, and a has-been celebrity who turns everything upside down, and you have all the makings of Hotel Archambeau—the latest production by Concordia University’s ACT (Autodidacts Concordia Theatre) Club.

Playing this weekend at the Mainline Theatre, Hotel Archambeau uses a sparse stage, outlandish costumes, and some clever props to set the scene for the student-run production. This is a unique opportunity to catch the talent of local university theatre at very reasonable rates—with some fun twists, turns, and surprises along the way.

Hotel Archambeau is playing Thursday May 9, Saturday May 11, and Sunday May 12 at the Mainline Theatre. Tickets can be purchased via their site.

It’s A Mad World at Centaur’s The 39 Steps

Posted on Author Yolande Ramsay

Do thrillers need to be sombre and serious to be entertaining? Can a story of danger and madness be a frolic, too? The 39 Steps is a madcap, action-packed, and hilarious spin on the classic 30’s spy thriller. The show uses deliciously over-the-top clichés of the film noir genre. It’s a spoof that never fails […]
