If you haven’t discovered Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays yet, there’s a world of fringe theatre fun awaiting.

The performance series runs Wednesday nights in the back room at the Heritage Grill, 447 Columbia St.

This month, fans will be able to check out two brand new works that are about to launch cross-Canada tours.

On May 9, it’s Cory Thibert’s Awkward Hug, described as a coming-of-age story with a twist. Thibert embodies his 19-year-old self and opens up about what it’s like to simultaneously approach maturity and reach awareness of his parents’ (dis)abilities.

On May 16, Devon More – the founder of Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays – presents her new show, Flute Loops, billed as “a subatomic pop opera where anything that can happen does.”

Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays shows start at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. All shows are on a pay-what-you-want basis, and full table service is available. Seats can be reserved by calling 604-759-0819. For full details, follow www.facebook.com/wayoffwed.
