Genre-benders of the year

Hour called it. We knew them when. The boys from Foqué dans la tête Productions took JOB: The Hip-Hop Musical to award-winning heights. Don't miss the reprise at Centaur's Wildside Festival in the new year.

JOB: The Hip-Hop Musical by Jerome Saibil and Eli Batalion

If you can only catch one SNEW [Wildside] show this year, make it this one. Outside commitments meant that JOB only hit four Canadian cities this summer, but word got around. JOB won a number of awards, including a MECCA for best new play, and was listed as one of the Toronto Star's Top 10 theatre pieces in 2002. After Montreal, JOB's off to Tarragon in Toronto and there's talk of a sequel this summer.
