When a rockstar crashes the backstage party at a Shakespeare Festival, a thrill-seeking young actor is set on a path of self-reckoning. A provocative blend of truth and fiction, Discount Dave and The Fix is a suspenseful, hilarious and harrowing examination of our obsession with celebrity, how addiction can bury our wounds, and what it takes to heal.

Having made it’s world premiere at the Edmonton Fringe Festival in August of 2024, Discount Dave and the Fix is a deeply personal, uncomfortably funny and provocative new solo performance that aims straight for the gut. Inspired by true events, the play recently earned a Cayle Chernin Award for Theatre Development. Written and performed by Rebecca Auerbach, directed and dramaturged by Aviva Armour-Ostroff, this exciting new piece was developed with the generous support of the Ontario Arts Council, Nightwood Theatre, Studio 180 and Theatre Aquarius. Stay tuned for the Toronto premiere in the spring of 2025…
