PTC Productions’ stag-
ing of Poor Super Man
at the Firehall Arts
Centre is a forceful bit
of theatre.

Kudos to this cast and
crew of relative newcomers, all
undergraduates of UVic’s the-
atre program.

Directed by Collingwood
grad Lawrence Phillips, just
22, Calgary playwright Brad
Fraser's exploration of sexual
identity and friendship may
unsettle some viewers —
homosexual love scenes made
my liberal-minded date squirm
in his seat —- but the play is
worth seeing for isi inventive
staging and powerful acting.

The production continues
to May 1. Tickets are $14 at
the Firehall box office or by
calling 689-0926.
