1) HHDS presents The Killdeer
A macabre comedy by Governor General's award winner James Reaney.

Three young people, Harry, Rebecca, and Eli, are trapped by the oppression of their small town. Events from the past have thrown them together, and somehow they must find a way to save each other. Behind them lurks the figure of Madam Fay, the evil cosmetics saleslady, with a secret of her own that is the key to their salvation. Can they figure it out before one of them is hung for murder?

The Killdeer is a macabre comedy by Governor-General’s award winner James Reaney. His first play, it premiered in Toronto in 1960 and has since been performed across the country and in Britain. To celebrate Reaney’s 80th birthday, Hart House Drama Society is reviving this poetic and magical work.

4) Free movie passes -- Weds., Nov. 29, 7pm

The HHDS has received an open invitation to a free screening of a movie called "Freedom Writers" on Wednesday, November 29th at 7pm at the Cumberland theatre. The movie stars Hilary Swank and is about a teacher who inspires a group of inner-city youth to pursue education instead of violence. The passes that are available are double passes (i.e. two guests per); they are free and anyone can attend. Send an email by this Sunday to harthouse.drama@utoronto.ca (please send us a new message, instead of clicking "reply" to this one) so we can put our request in to the Paramount representative, and arrange for pickup.
