GCT has a surprise special addition to Season 53 with an encore presentation of a wildly popular production from our friends at Quark Theatre! This hilarious and heartening one-woman, one-act operetta had a sold out North American premiere with Quark Theatre. Audiences will be excited to see this further evolution of the show, whether you saw it the first time or not- you don't want to miss this rare opportunity to see an utterly relatable show designed, staged and performed like no other.
Starring Jacquelene Cooper with Director/Pianist Eileen Kuo
PLOT: Annabel is 27 and her life is a continuous status update. She has used every social medium available to carefully cultivate her profile in order to attract the attention of her dishy colleague, Sebastian. Through the Looking Screen, written and composed by Anne Chmelewsky is an affectionate but unflinching operatic portrayal of an increasingly desperate young woman losing touch with the world beyond her PC and smartphone. Annabel’s life is a tragicomic tale of our times.

“A wonderful musical tale of attraction, love and despair in the internet age… Anne Chmelewsky’s story is funny, poignant and will strike a chord with anyone who has ever dated (and everyone who has ever slyly checked out a crush’s Facebook page). If you can’t imagine being on the edge of your seat, waiting for a fictional reply to a Facebook message… think again.” - Three Weeks Edinburgh
“[Chmelewsky] possesses both a finely tuned classical ear and an eye for the offbeat comedy of daily life.… [She] has rendered a script that is thought provoking and funny. There is an interplay of light and shadow which only gradually dawns.” - FringeReview
