Chez MainLine 2012-10-02

They said it couldn't be done! They said it shouldn't be done! They may have been right about the second part, but we did it anyway. 7 years ago The Montreal Fringe Festival gave birth to MainLine Theatre.

There is no logical reason in Heaven or Earth that we should have survived this long but we did. I think that calls for a drink. Come join us Friday Oct 5th and raise a glass to seven years to the most gin soaked, debauched, irreverant little theatre in Montreal.

Ils ont dit que c'était impossible! Ils ont dit que ça ne devrait pas exister! Peut-être qu'ils avaient raison, mais on l'a fait pareil. Il y a 7 ans, the Festival St-Ambroise FRINGE de Montréal a mis le Théâtre MainLine au monde. Il n'y a aucune raison terrestre pour notre survie continue, mais on est encore là! Je crois qu'on se doit quelques breuvage en honneur de ce miracle théâtral. Venez vous joindre à nous ce vendredi le 5 Octobre, et buvez à l'honneur de théâtre le plus débauché et irrévérencieux à Montréal.

And speaking of Friday Oct 5th...
MainLIne Theatre and Weeping Spoon Productions is proud (and a little terrified) to present the first instalment of:

Captain Spaceship

Join Captain Spaceship and his crew of intergalactic riff-raff as they travel through time and space exploring the cosmos, discovering new unchartered worlds and narrowly avoiding copyright infringement.
Inspired by 1950’s Sci-fi serials, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Firefly and 90210; The Captain and his crew will make up their ongoing epic adventures live onstage aided by the audience’s suggestions. They could end up anywhere and anyWHEN and will have only their sharp improv skills, some cheap costumes and maybe some lasers to defend themselves.

So go where no man (or woman, or alien) has gone before as some of Montreal’s best improvisers (including members of The Big HOO-HAA, Uncalled For and Montreal Improv) plus an interstellar cast of talented guest stars brave the vacuum of space to protect mankind from the unknown…
Featuring Shayne Adamczak, Dan Jeanotte, Lea Rondot, Mark Rowland, Kirsten Rasmussen and others.

Friday October 5th at 8pm
TICKETS
Regular : 12.00$
People in Sci-Fi Costumes : 10.00$
Stick around after for our amazing anniversay party.

Fishnet stockings don't come cheap. Or maybe they do, I don't know. All I know is, it takes a bit of coin to put on a show as good as The Rocky Horror Show is gonna be. So to raise a few bucks Shayne Gryn and Co. are putting on a little fundraiser. Here's some more info:

Quality Theatre is an expensive prospect and WE NEED YOUR HELP. But since you're fans of The Rocky Horror Show, you're probably lustful hedonists only interested in pursuing debauched pleasure. Fortunately, WE'VE GOT IT COVERED.

Get yourself to Mainline Theatre on October 6th at 8:00pm for some raucous fun featuring a cast of stellar burlesque performers, sexy musicians, and hilarious comedians, all culminating in a ROCKY HORROR SING-ALONG PARTY!!!

Hosted by Dan Derkson
Burlesque by Cherry Typhoon, Miss Bloody Mary Ann, Penny Romanoff, Seska Lee, Sucre À La Crème.

Music by Shane Adamczak and Jim Crow Jubilee

Comedy by Darren Henwood

ROCKY HORROR SING-ALONG PARTY!!!

And speaking of Fundraisers...

In 2010 MainLine Theatre converted our rehearsal space into the much lauded Mini-Main. To pay for the upgrade we sold name plaques on seats for 50$ each. Last year, when MainLine Theatre need a new heating, we raised the money by selling names plaques on seats in the Main Space for 100$. This year, after exhaustive audience research, we have come to realize that what MainLine desperately needs most, and I am sure you will all agree, is an upgrade to our bathrooms.

Yes that's right folks, after years of living in denile about the state of our bathrooms even I can't take it anymore. Our goal this year is to raise 3000$ to fix up the john and we need your help to do it. Your 50$ donation will get you a name plaque in the Mini Main. 100$ will get you a name plaque in the Main Space and a 250$ donation will get your name plaque memorialized on the best seat in the house. For 1000$ you can have a whole stall named after yourself.

All donations are very much appreciated and very much tax deductible. Donations can be made by simply clicking the link below:
