Steeltown Players Theatre Company presents an Original Double Bill!
SHUT DOWN: A tragicomic story for the technological age, Shut Down depicts the struggles of five people who have given up on reality and try to be something they’re not with something we all use everyday: The internet. Winner of an Award of Excellence for Writing and Direction at the Sears Ontario Drama Festival 2011 and featuring Stephen Ingram, Sam Gallagher, Mitchell Zarycki, Roxana Teymourian, and John Land, Shut Down is back and better than ever in a completely reimagined revival.

WASP’S NEST: A brand new, daring work about liars and losers, Wasp’s Nest will be presented for the first time in a double bill with Shut Down. When Wade Morrison messes with the wrong group of people, an intense journey of utter self destruction begins and spirals downward to the shattering conclusion. In a world where everybody loses, why even bother fighting at all? Featuring knockout performances by Ryan Trepanier, Philip Krusto, Tom Rice, Damion LeClair, and Brandon Pierre, this intense new show will grab you from the start and never let go.
