A comedy, a mystery, an allegory,

“… one of the most thrilling new plays on Broadway”, Greg Evans, Deadline, and “… you have never seen anything like it.”, Rex Reed, The Observer.

It’s just another council meeting in the small town of Big Cherry. The bumbling, dishonest, substance abused, and ridiculous council persons enter one by one. All is well, that is until the newcomer, Mr. Peel starts asking uncomfortable questions. Having missed the last meeting to attend his mother’s funeral he feels out of the loop and quickly becomes aware that things have changed — and no one wants to talk about it. Emotions get heated, tension mounts, until someone is brave enough to tell the painful truth.

This scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power, from the author of August: Osage County, exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held North American narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history’s losers. Join the Big Cherry City Council members as they debate, quibble, argue, and cajole to the ultimate end.

The text, direction, and acting created that magical alchemy that results in believable, honest, and heart-wrenching theatre! The three actors were present, and in character, at an impressive level. Do what you can to see this show!” – Brian S

  • The Minutes First Read-Through

    The Minutes is thrilling and essential theater that interrogates the present by laying bare how history is written.

    – Naveen Kumar of Variety

    This past Saturday, our cast and crew gathered for our first read-through, and it was an inspiring start to what promises to be a remarkable production. The energy in the room was palpable as our talented actors began to bring this powerful script to life.

    After the read-through, we celebrated with Mexican food and a fabulous selection of wine from Mike’s cellar. It’s always good to keep a cast well fed. I can already tell this will be a production to remember. It was heartwarming to see the cast, crew and plus ones get to know each other. There were stimulating conversations all around me.

    Here is the first photo from our first gathering to give you a sneak peek behind the scenes. Introducing William, Charlene and Colin! Stay tuned for more! We are all incredibly excited to share this show with you and can’t wait to see you in the audience.

    As we are not using a traditional theatre venue, we are working with Humanitix to set up a ticket buying service. We picked Humanitix because it is a non-profit and donates its profits to worthy causes. Tickets should be available in a couple of weeks. Look for our ‘Early Bird’ discount!

    Thank you for your continued support of our Theatre Aezir. Your enthusiasm and patronage make everything we do possible.
