A Curated Exit

Single Events A Curated Exit is a two-actor dark comedy about grief, technology, love, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the incomprehensible. Funeral director Zoe sells technology designed to replace the messy physical realities of death with a sanitized, carefully curated experience. Then her husband dies unexpectedly, and the perfect life she's created starts to fall apart. Moving between the hours after his death and fragments of their life together, A Curated Exit explores what happens when technology gives us new ways to avoid the experiences we'd rather not confront. At its heart, it's a love story about two people desperately trying not to lose each other, featuring an AI assistant with questionable people skills, a Cheetos-fuelled raccoon attack, and a corpse onstage for almost the entire show. After touring the Winnipeg and Edmonton Fringe Festivals this summer, Vancouver's Shot in the Dark Productions brings A Curated Exit home for four performances at The NEST on Granville Island.

Ronit Rubinstein’s Things My Dad Kept

Single Events After a sold-out run at the 2025 Toronto Fringe Festival, where it won T.O. Live’s Best of Fringe, Things My Dad Kept by Ronit Rubenstein will receive its West Coast Premiere at this year’s Chutzpah! A few years ago, playwright and performer Ronit Rubinstein helped her mom clean out the family home. This meant going through her father’s office, a space barely touched in the decade following his death from cancer in 2012.  Things My Dad Kept is a deeply personal piece about her relationship with her father Mordechai, a Holocaust survivor, and how she learned more about him while looking through the items and memories he kept in a filing cabinet drawer. This performance is presented as a Relaxed Performance. Some house lights will remain on throughout the show, volume levels are slightly lowered, and the audience can leave and re-enter as needed. Event Summary: A hilarious, irreverent, and moving solo show about her dead dad, the unexpected ways grief evolves, and the wildly impractical ways we show love. Production Company Name: Chutzpah!
