Bad Dog Comedy Theatre and Sex T-Rex are honoured to announce the return of Blockbuster Week from March 24 to 30, 2025 at the Assembly Theatre (1479 Queen Street West). A community gathering for some of Toronto’s most talented artists, Blockbuster Week is a beloved festival of brand new improvised comedies celebrating movies and television in a live, unscripted setting.
At Blockbuster Week, we take screen to stage – celebrating movies and television in a live, unscripted setting. While we do love a good homage to genre, we are particularly excited by show proposals that aren’t exclusively trying to recreate favourite flicks & shows onstage. We are looking for work that uses the element of improvisation in interesting, intrinsic ways. We are also very interested in seeing fresh points of view onstage.
Invited creators and their casts will be remunerated. You can pitch as many ideas as you like but only one concept per creator will be programmed.
We are looking for 30 minute acts, which will be presented as a double bill with another act.
BLOCKBUSTER WEEK RUNS: March 24 to 29, 2025 at Assembly Theatre*
SUBMISSIONS CLOSE: January 17th, 2025 at 11:59pm ET
*Unfortunately, The Assembly Theatre is not a wheelchair accessible venue.
