Synopsis: Ani has an unexplainable stomach ache and tries an experimental medicine simulation designed for patients to find the source of their pain and fix it themselves.
Collaborative sound designer needed for a short 10-minute play. The production requires atmospheric sound cues for three key settings: the churning intensity of a stomach's interior, a medical simulation where anything is possible and the unsettling ambiance of a doctor's office.

We All Died at the Lesbian Bar is looking for a Stage Manager, Lead Sound/Lighting Designer and Lead Set Designer for our Montreal Fringe 2026 production! This 45-minute surrealist dark comedy takes place entirely in Victor’s, a slightly worn, cozy neighbourhood gay bar. The space begins to “glitch” as one man’s lies literally rewrite reality: micro-resets, repeating cues, props reappearing, signage shifting, and small contradictions that build toward a campy apocalypse.
We’re looking for collaborators who love precise timing, clear storytelling through design, and playful problem-solving within Fringe constraints. Fringe experience welcome but not required; reliability and communication matter most.
Send a short note, relevant experience/portfolio links, and the role(s) you’re applying for!Please email Silas at silasjamesdixon@gmail.com

From the Artist:
“I firmly believe there is so much possibility for cross-disciplinary collaborations in the arts, especially in theatre. So, as I try to produce my new play It Sticks to the Ryver, I want to create a communal gallery space that lives and breathes with the world of the play.”
The Play:It Sticks to the Ryver is a play written for, with, and by disabled people (more specifically neurodiverse folk). Through it, we follow The Person, a college student, and The Other, a humanoid bird, as they learn to live and (re)grow together as a world collapses around them. After all, sometimes all you need is someone willing to wait with you.
The Google Form: It is meant as a way for me to connect with, see, read, hear, and generally interact with the work (artistic or academic) of my fellow queer and/or disabled creators. Any creator at any stage of their career/hobby is welcome to submit their work!
