Notable Acts Theatre Festival, July 26th - August 5th, 2023

Notable Acts Theatre Festival 🎭

July 26, 2023 @ 8:00 am – August 5, 2023 @ 5:00 pm

The NotaBle Acts Theatre Company (NB Acts) was founded in the fall of 2001 and incorporated in July of 2002. The company’s mandate and artistic mission statement is as follows:

  • To enhance the theatrical calendar in the City of Fredericton, and beyond;
  • To mentor, develop, and produce the work of New Brunswick playwrights;
  • To develop, mentor and diversify the community of theatre practitioners who choose to call the Province of New Brunswick home.

Notable Acts Theatre Festival, July 26th - August 5th, 2023

NotaBle Acts is unique in the province as the only English-language theatre company whose mandate is devoted exclusively to developing and producing new plays by writers from the province. The festival is also a home for new and alternative drama in a city that has traditionally had few non-mainstream offerings. We are proud to mentor emerging actors, directors, designers, and technicians, and to take some steps towards addressing the longstanding problem of the lack of opportunities for New Brunswick theatre professionals to work in their home province.

Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story 🎻

March 11, 2023 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

2b Theatre. Featuring Ben Caplan.

Ben Caplan on stage wearing a purple coat, top hat, and round glasses.

Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story is a humourously dark folktale woven together with a high-energy concert. This Klezmer-folk music-theatre hybrid starring genre-bending sensation Ben Caplan is inspired by the true stories of two Jewish Romanian refugees coming to Canada in 1908. It’s about how to love after being broken by the horrors of war. It’s about refugees who get out before it’s too late, and those who get out after it’s too late. And it’s about looking into the eyes of God.

Old Stock has toured to 32 cities around the globe, and has been performed over 250 times, receiving many awards and accolades along the way including a Herald Angel Award, Edinburgh Fringe First, seven Theatre Nova Scotia Merritt Awards, six Drama Desk nominations, and a New York Times Critics pick.

*Please be advised this performance contains strong language, has sexual content and is intended for mature audiences. Recommended for ages 13+

Between Breaths: Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland 🐳

March 18, 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Between Breaths is a one-act play telling the true story of Dr. Jon Lien, well-known in Newfoundland as the Whale Man. Lien pioneered techniques for rescuing whales trapped in fishing nets. Often risking his very life in the water with the formidable and frightened animals, he would seek to earn their trust as much as the fishermen’s. His ability to free more than 500 whales, while doing as little damage to the fishing gear as possible, won the hard-earned respect of the fishermen. Despite his risky work, Lien’s biggest fight came at the hands of a lengthy illness. Before he passed away in 2010, his body was slowly conquered by immobility and dementia.  

A man stands on a chair, with a light above him.

Between Breaths jumps time backwards, from the final moments of Lien’s life – in a wheelchair and dealing with brain damage – to his very first whale intervention. As his life becomes further and further confined, his mind stretches itself in memories of release and salvation.
