Horribly Sunny
No point of view is safe… from the Sun.
Horribly Sunny is a new rock musical based on and featuring the music of Two Apple Tobacco.
Created and performed by Two Apple Tobacco and Seven Tyrants Theatre, Horribly Sunny is the story a powerful media mogul and financial player who, through a series of unexpected crises, begins to question his ways. Over the course of a seemingly average network news day, we meet a host of electrifying characters as we delve into the most conniving and embarrassing recesses of humanity. Be it global climate change or your neighbourhood sex den, Horribly Sunny is a comprehensive exposure of today.
Phase 1: 2009 Workshop
For three weeks in July 2009, Two Apple Tobacco and Seven Tyrants Theatre spearheaded a preliminary workshop of Horribly Sunny. During this workshop, we worked closely with Seven Tyrants Theatre to find the essence of a theatrical structure spanning our songs.
The 2009 workshop involved Daniel Deorksen, Kayla Deorksen, Jessica Harvey, Jordan Kling, Courtney Lancaster, David Newham, Courtney So and Vern Shewchuk. It included a free showing of the phase’s discoveries featuring Two Apple Tobacco live.
