Flop! is a play about a man who has such a disastrous experience in his directorial debut in Toronto, that he moves back home to Okotoks, Alberta in order to rest and reboot himself. However, once there, he gets caught up in directing the high school play for his brother’s school.

What follows is a touching, excellently performed, play about the drive to succeed in the arts. How we push ourselves and those we depend on to obtain our piece of the big pie. Anton Lipovetsky switches roles with ease, giving each of his students a voice and demeanour distinct from his own. Even when he has to switch back and forth several times a minute, which he does frequently without any kind of hitch. And Anton sings the songs extremely well, with a full voice that fills the room.

Definitely check this one out if you get a chance. Our showing was pretty much full, but it seems like tickets are still plentiful for his remaining three shows. Go see it.
