Although COVID has shut down most live theatre around the world, that’s not stopping the Halifax Fringe Festival from celebrating its 30th anniversary, and we’re so proud to be a part of this year’s festival, streaming online through Bandcamp!
In lieu of live performances, we’ve made a podcast version of Rob Salerno’s hit solo show FIRST DAY BACK available through the Halifax Fringe web site starting September 4.
Written and performed by Salerno, and edited by Anna Rubanova, FIRST DAY BACK follows a group of students who meet in the aftermath of a classmate’s suicide to figure out who’s responsible and find a way to heal. The Toronto production was nominated for two Dora Mavor Moore Awards for Outstanding New Play and Outstanding Performance.
“Richly thoughtful…Salerno presents each character with emotional truth.”
