One Trunk Theatre's 204FM Episode # 1- Mr Juba's Wild Ride
Written by: Tobias Hughes
Performed by: Gwendolyn Collins, William Jordan, RobYn Slade, Gordon Tanner, Tobias Hughes
Featuring special musical guest: William Prince
And with: Anna-Laure Koop & Jane Testar
Recorded at the West End Cultural Centre, Winnipeg Tuesday, April 26th, 2016
Stephen Juba, the 37th Mayor of Winnipeg dreamt of modernizing our town with a monorail. When McKenna does Purple City at the Leg she finds herself in another dimension- one where hers, and Juba’s wildest dreams come true. Plus, there are nuns! JUNO award winning William Prince accompanies the first episode of 204FM by Toby Hughes.
About 204FM:
In the early 1900s unfortunate and irreversible mistakes bind Hermes, the god of travel, in gold. Now a statue, Hermes is passed from one continent to the next bringing bad luck and a feeling of “stuckness” everywhere he goes. World powers unite and decide the only solution is to send him as far away as possible to a place that no one cares about… a place in the middle of nowhere… Winnipeg, Manitoba. For over a century Hermes has perched atop the Legislature and we call him the golden boy, a statue reeking a feeling a apathy through the city and not letting anyone leave, even after they have passed away. Enter our heroes, regular every day Winnipeggers who feel stuck but are sucked into an adventure exploring the city and meeting an infamous cast of characters (from Stephen Juba to the Grey Nuns and from Nellie McClung to Burton Cummings) who give them a new perspective. A hilarious roller coaster ride through time, winters, socials, mysteries and many vacant floors of the Downtown Bay, 204FM is a uniquely Winnipeg buffet, created by top Winnipeg comedians and theatre artists for the citizens of our one great city.
The original series in 2016 was made possible with the support of Manitoba Arts Council and Winnipeg Arts Council. The 2020 rerelease is generally supported by Manitoba Arts Council. Thank you our public funders, and to our partners WECC and UMFM for their support of the project in 2016.
