ROCKABYE

Capitalism, Race, and Pop Culture. You know, the small stuff.

ARC theatre company’s 2024 mainstage production is the Canadian premiere of Rockabye by Joanna Murray-Smith, directed by Co-Artistic Producer Rob Kempson. This funny and fast-paced comedy by Australia’s Murray-Smith tackles adoption, fame, hypocrisy, narcissism, and media manipulation, with cutting style. ROCKABYE will run at Factory Theatre (125 Bathurst St., Toronto) from January 26 to February 11, 2024.

Sidney can feel her career slipping down the drain. No one loves a pop star when she’s past forty. Unless she wants to join the ranks of the has-beens on the casino circuit, she needs to reinvent herself – and quick. But what if she regains her former glory and still feels that something is missing?

In its Canadian premiere, Rockabye offers a satirical and dark portrait of our self-involved, celebrity-obsessed culture, starring ARC Co-Artistic Producer Deborah Drakeford in a career-defining role.

The cast also features ARC Resident Artist Nabil Traboulsi, with Christopher Allen, Sergio Di Zio, Kyra Harper, Julie Lumsden, and Shauna Thompson.
