PAST EVENTS

Question Period (The Musical!) - A success! 

Hit Fringe Fest musical comedy raises the roof on the House of Commons

On February 4, 2012, the irreverent, gut-busting musical comedy, Question Period The Musical returned from its riding in a Coast Guard helicopter (naturally), touching down at Ottawa’s Arts Court Theatre for two sold-out representations.

Voted Fan Favourite at the 2011 Ottawa Fringe Festival, the show that broke audience records kicked off the first weekend of Winterlude and raised da roof of the House of Commons with slam raps, grunge rock, Broadway numbers, subliminal social messaging, and even a classic rock love song to the GST. follow .

Proceeds from the show went to support the work of local charities: The Otesha Project (www.otesha.ca) and One World Arts (www.oneworldarts.ca).

Thanks to all the people who came in support of One World Arts!
