May 7th is Pay-What-You-Can at the NAC

Another pay-what-you-can (PWYC) evening at the National Arts Centre tomorrow night ... this time it's a play called 7 Important Things, by Nadia Ross. From the Web site:

"... Throughout his entire life, George would come to identify with cultural movements that went directly against the mainstream, that opposed the status quo. Now in his mid-50s, George can no longer identify with a counter-culture: not because he is too old or is no longer radical, but because he believes that everything, absolutely everything, that goes against the mainstream now is reduced to yet another item to be consumed. In essence there is no opposing the "unstoppable growth of Growth" in capitalism gone wild. George is a failed Utopian, but he is in no way bitter about that fact. ..."

I'm still not sure if I'm going to this one but I did enjoy the others I've attended. They're dress rehearsals. There's a risk the show might be interrupted for adjustments, but it hasn't happened to me yet.

The play starts at 8:00pm and the price is whatever you feel like paying. Not a bad deal for a soirée at the NAC!
