Show Descriptions
The Coven 
(A Staged Reading)
by Shanice Pereira
The Coven is an intergenerational magical realist play set between 1800s Guyana and modern-day Canada. The play follows Renette, the first free woman in her family, as she seeks vengeance against her former master. But the curse she casts carries a terrible cost—one that reaches her unborn child. In the present day, teenage Thea is navigating her parents' divorce and finds herself haunted by that same curse.
As past and present blur, The Shadow—a ghostly embodiment of the curse—emerges through contemporary dance and ensemble movement terrorizing generations. Only Thea can guide her family to heal generations of pain and uncover a path to forgiveness - before the darkness consumes them all.
With moments of blocking, choreography, and music, this unconventional staged reading brings the world of The Coven to life, and provides a window into this dynamic new work.
Content Warning: 
non-graphic reference to sexual assault, intergenerational trauma, minor visualization and discussion of slavery, stylized violence, witchcraft, the occult, abuse, colonialism, and horror themes
No More Mr. Rice Guy
by Franco Pang
This witty comedy tells the story of a Canadian-born high school student of Chinese descent who enters a rap music contest in the hopes of fulfilling his dreams of becoming a famous rapper. The full-length world premiere of 
No More Mr. Rice Guy
 integrates all the ingredients that worked so well for its shorter format: the humorous references to Asian culture are innocent, the dialogue is original and quirky, and Franco is as skilled and exceptional as ever in his performance, even from what is presumably his bedroom in Richmond Hill. - Review from Apt 613, Livia Belcea
Nuit
by Trip the Light Theatre Collective
Have you ever wanted to join in on the fun of live theatre? Now you can – with Nuit’s Heckle Night! We invite the audience to yell, give suggestions, tell their own jokes as our performers take to the stage. Get ready for a never before and never again seen version of Nuit!
Does your clubbing experience need more theatre, comedy, and choreographed dance numbers? Then Nuit is the spot for you! This award-winning story follows four queer characters as they stumble and sing their way through a night out: the cycle of partying on full, messy display. Bright lights, funky moves, deep talks and hilarious pit stops showcase themes of sapphic romance, friendship and identity. Winners of The Ottawa Fringe and the Prix Rideau Award for Outstanding Ensemble Performance, this cast will make you feel like you are part of the adventure. So get ready for a night you’ll never remember!

Coarse language, substance use (drinking)
EXA
by Adam Sakauye
EXA is the fortune teller of the future– a divining machine from the end of time brought back to the modern day, inspired by the coin operated fortune-dispensing machines of the past. Enter the studio alone and have your Tarot read by the inexorable, ineluctable EXA. In just five short minutes, you can learn what the future has in store for you.
When you consult modern forms of divination, such as Tarot and astrology, what answers do you expect or hope to receive? When posed with such sensitive questions, how can diviners provide proactive, meaningful and responsible answers?
Ultimately: If you could know your future, beyond any doubt, would you want to?
Content Warning: 
Audience participation. Potential exposure to flashing lights, as well as reference to war, sex and sexuality, racism, and explosives. May contain depictions of grief and loss.
Tactics Tribute: A Farewell Reception 
(Free)
Join us in LabO for a reception hosted by Jacqui Du Toit to reflect, remember and celebrate 12 incredible years of independent theatre. Walk down memory lane to honour all of the beautiful work and talented artists who have worked with Tactics since 2013.

Doors: 5PM
Reception & Presentation: 5:15PM
Come and give Tactics a standing ovation with us.
