Only Human: An ACT Production, Benefiting the Theresa Foundation!

Dear friends,

The Theresa Foundation is lucky once again to have the support of the ACT Club with their new play ‘Only Human’.  Go out and see their show (proceeds from which will be benefiting our foundation)!

Click on the poster below to visit their facebook event page, and/or scroll down for more details.

Many of the members of this group are former Dawson Theatre Collective sweethearts, who have continued the mission of the DTC at Concordia. THANK YOU ALL !
The ACT Club is a Concordia-based, student-run theatre company, founded in 2015, whose mission is to make theatre accessible to all Concordia students, regardless of background or experience. Workshops are offered in the Fall semester, and the Winter semester is spent writing and producing an original work. We are very excited to present our latest production, Only Human!

On the set of a supernatural-themed reality TV show, a washed up star invites three strangers to share their alleged experiences of demonic possession. What ensues is a night of revelations and tribulation, as with each unfolding story characters are forced to confront their pasts while facing the ever-troubling present. Suspicions grow, the lines between fact and fiction are blurred, and the true purpose of this gathering becomes more and more elusive… A horrific, unapologetic yet sincere analysis of how far people will go for what they want, this play is sure to spark your mind and warm your heart.

The ACT Club would like to acknowledge that MainLine Theatre is located on unceded Indigenous lands. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters on which we gather today. Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community.
