PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Blair makes videos. Blair needs a project. Blair has a webcam. Blair has some friends. Blair’s friends are into some kinky shit.

Premium Content is a play about art, consent, polyamory and the Internet. It’s a play about boundaries: In relationships, in art, and the grey space where they converge. It’s a play about the difference between a funeral and a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s a play about trying really hard to be really cool. In an age where you can access anything online, how do you know what is truly good and what is truly bad?

★★★★ “A production this inventive and reckless deserves to run for months with people returning not once but three and four times”
– Louis B Hobson, Calgary Herald

“Experimental, edgy, thought provoking! Great to see youth artists producing this quality of work!”
–Naheed Nenshi, Mayor of Calgary
