Monday Nights
6th Man Collective and The Theatre Centre (Canada)
PRESENTED WITH ANVIL CENTRE
“If you want to find a new way to channel your We The North spirit, check out Monday Nights.”
—The Globe and MailWho you are on the court reveals who you are off the court; in this basketball-theatre mash-up, we invite you to lace up your sneakers and get in the game! Every Monday night for over a decade, five men came together to play basketball. Friendships were formed, bonds were strengthened; they shared each other’s victories and losses, triumphs and heartbreaks. The game became a refuge and they left it all on the court.
Born from those games, Monday Nights is an interactive basketball/theatre experience where those same men explore how a simple game can help us understand ourselves and connect to community. You’re invited to join them on the court, learn some skills and experience the power of the game firsthand. No matter your age, skill level or passion about basketball, get off the bench and get in the game. The ball’s in your court!
“It’s a good-natured entertainment… with plenty of excitement on the court. It also brings out a universal truth in human nature: once you’ve been assigned to a team, you can’t help cheering for it.”
—National Post
