Kicking off this summer, Cucumber Satellite will host a series of discovery and development evenings. Members of the acting ensemble will team up with invited writers and directors to jam out stories through improvisation, exercises and scene work. Invited artists will have the opportunity to utilize their special skills as well as develop new ones.

Writers with scripts in development with CS will also be invited to present portions of their material as it develops.

Hag is a sketch comedy series inspired by true stores of misbehaving women. Both historical and contemporary, Hag explores the extremities of deviant “softer sex” from classical witchery to trailer park trash. Coming this fall.

4 Player is a new play by Victor Ayala.

The play explores the irony of being the most well-informed society in the history of mankind while also being the least interested. Is it information overload that compels us to plug in in order to tune out, or is there something deeper, more elusive going on?

In the story, four friends get together for an ordinary round of their favourite first-person shooter experience, using all the wonders of modern distraction to find that elusive "good time"-- Only this time, they each take their fantasies to the logical extreme and find the real meaning of their diversions on the other side.

"I've always felt that if this world ends, it won't be with an earth-shattering disaster, but with a collective shrug. . ."

Cucumber Satellite co-produced "Torched" with Storey Book productions in spring of 2005. The concept, by Kate Twa and Terri-lyn Storey and inspired by true events had a highly successful National Fringe Tour. Written and directed by Kate Twa and performed by Terri-lyn Storey, "Torched" was consistantly a Critic's Choice winner and Pick of the Fringe. Now, five years later, Kate Twa and Terri-lyn Storey are venturing back in to this searing dramatic comedy to re-work the play for publication and an International Tour.
