Screaming Beaver Productions

Tune in to Half A Star where we talked to our friends Benton Hartley and Justin Shaw about the process of Realizations and what personal shows can do to your personal relationships.

Screaming Beaver is stoked to be collaborating with Raging Bison, (Claire Byrne and Joce Reyome) to create the piece, Blackberries for The Island Fringe Festival's Pounding the Pavement event from August 12-14th. https://www.facebook.com/events/205265727459313 Pounding the Pavement: Celebrating and amplifying artists from the fringe is an Island Fringe Festival production in partnership with the Confederation Centre of the Arts, with support from InnovationPEI and the City o...f Charlottetown. Island artists who identify as Indigenous, BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+, and those with a disability come together to tell their own stories from their own perspectives. Performances are made up of 10-20 minute vignettes that explore people’s journeys of discovery to having their voices heard (be they personal explorations, activism for equality, etc), and presented as dramatic readings of original poetry and plays, songs, dance, and stand-up comedy. Blackberries, starring Claire Byrne , Joce Reyome, Cameron Cassidy, and Brandon Roy, is a one act play that explores the realities Black folx endure from well intentioned white people. Clara Bradburn, portrayed by Claire Bryne, and Joey Raymond, portrayed by Joce Reyome, didn’t dwell on the short notice they were given to perform at Gallant’s Theatre Company during their local Pride Festival. However, after meeting with Karen Campbell, the theatre’s artistic director, and Spencer Flowers, the theatre’s stage manager, they have to consider whether this gig is worth the emotional labour of educating those well meaning, but blatantly racist white folx. $25 FEES INCLUDED and tickets are on sale now though Confederation Centre of the Arts' box office: https://confederationcentre.com/what/pounding-the-pavement/ We have 6 tickets per performance held for anyone who is unable to purchase a ticket at this time.

This is an awesome opportunity put out by Island Fringe! Extended deadline is June 30th!

Raise up black voices during this time, get uncomfortable, learn, unlearn. White apathy kills BIPOC.
