Quincy Festival, Here We Come: Lison and Portraits de travers

“Lison” by Richard Lecointre, directed by Catherine Canovas: Lison starts at her new middle school. She’s invited to join a group of friends, but their relationships will sour. “Portraits de travers,” directed by Catherine Canovas: What if our flaws actually make for the best stories? Through five plays inspired by the seven deadly sins, our young actors had fun delving into what makes us profoundly human. Anger that boils over, laziness that keeps us in bed a little too long, gluttony that’s impossible to control, pride that takes over, or envy that tugs at our hearts… With energy, humor, and sincerity, they bring to life these little quirks we all recognize. Because deep down, behind every excess, there’s often an emotion, a vulnerability, or simply a piece of ourselves. A show full of life, where we laugh, where we sometimes recognize ourselves… and where our flaws become material to act out, to tell, and to share. Refreshments and light snacks available at the community hall; the bar is open before and after the shows.
