Last year Alley Theatre produced Confessions: Three Monologues at Granville Island’s Agro Café. The show was a great success, combining three short one person shows with live music in the intimate setting of a coffee shop. “These strong young actors make compelling company” – Georgia Straight

Tape was first produced at the Actors Theatre of Louisville as part of the 2000 Humana Festival of New American Plays. It was later made into a feature film directed by Richard Linklater, starring Robert Sean Leonard, Ethan Hawke, and Uma Thurman. Stephen Belber was a writer in residence at The Juilliard School, in New York.
