4th STREET SERIES
Lasa ng Imperyo (A Taste of Empire)
By Jovanni Sy
Translated and performed by Carmela Sison in Tagalog with English Surtitles
rice & beans theatre
October 9 – 19, 2025
In a surprising fusion of theatre and gastronomy, this sold-out hit from the 2024 PuSH Festival reimagines Jovanni Sy’s acclaimed play about the effects of global imperialism on how we produce, prepare and consume food. With sharp wit, Carmela Sison guides audiences across the layered history of Philippine cultural heritage through a live cooking demonstration.
“Lasa Ng Imperyo sizzles because of its intimacy, sharp framing, and bite-sized critiques. Giving away more would be like skipping to dessert before the main course. But rest assured, its final bite lingers.” – Angie Rico, Stir
The Baking Show Show: The Play
By Faly Mevamanana
Ruby Slippers Theatre
February 12 – 15, 2026
Sugar. Salt. Sabotage.
When Grace’s first attempt to win Canada’s most elite baking competition fails, she spirals into obsession. Soon enough, she’s trapped in a pit of her own deception and turns to the one thing she has left… sabotage.
This sharp, satirical comedy by Faly Mevamanana takes a knife to the glossy world of reality TV, exposing the personal cost of chasing perfection and the dangers of external expectations.
Fat Joke
By Cheyenne Rouleau
Neworld Theatre
April 16 – 18, 2026
A fusion of stand-up comedy, storytelling, and unapologetic fact-blasting, Fat Joke thrusts fatphobia into the spotlight. Cheyenne Rouleau surgically dissects this seldom-discussed subject with a razor-sharp wit that leaves the audience confronting their assumptions. Brace yourself for a social commentary that challenges conventions, sparks crucial conversations, and keeps you laughing in the process.
“Fearless, perspective-shifting stuff, full of big laughs and biting humour.” – Janet Smith, Stir
