POP-UP LOVE PARTY (online!) STAGES FESTIVAL

It's Zuppa's triumphant return to Eastern Front Theatre's STAGES Festival! Though we can't be together in person, we can still pop online, pour ourselves our drink of choice, hunker down and debate the true nature of love. Zuppa brings you the *live*, online version of its acclaimed Pop-Up Love Party, which was first workshopped in collaboration with the Magnetic North Theatre Festival in association with STAGES, in 2015. Pop-Up Love Party reimagines Plato’s Symposium in its quest to define love with all its plagues and pleasures by employing aerobics, holding a kangaroo court, sharing embarrassing stories, and pumping out an infectious pop ballad that will mend broken hearts around the world. It’s a philosophical feast, a drinking party, and a theatrical experience so unique it could only come from deep within the pulsing Zuppa heart. Zuppa Theatre Co. is Ben Stone and Alex McLean (Artistic Directors), Stewart Legere (Associate Artistic Director), Susan Leblanc (Artistic Director Emeritus) and Anika Riopel (Administrator/Producer)
