Studio 58 Solo Shows
The Solo Show projects are a celebrated Studio 58 end-of-term graduating tradition. Students are mentored by instructor David Bloom to create their own one-person shows. These self-written, self-directed and self-performed solo works each feature a graduating student. It's theatre at its most direct and most daring.

Meet the Spring 2026 Acting Graduates
Do I Need an Exorcism? | Saidi Mader (she/her)
“I always walk home with my three friends. But recently they’ve stopped walking with me. I wonder why that is”. Follow a 12-year-old on their journey of self-acceptance and what it means to be monstrous.

Huge thank you to Ava Knight for sound design, Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg for helping bring my concept to life and Wendy Gorling for coaching me on physical theatre.
dUst | Dylan McNulty (he/him)
What begins as an ordinary moment quietly unravels into a story about routine, absence and the things we rely on without ever quite saying so. Moving between past and present, humour and heartbreak, the piece explores what happens when the familiar starts to feel uncertain.
Content advisory: coarse language
Green | Gus Setala-Gay (they/them)
Are you in need of improving your life? Are you sick and tired of working so hard? Well, today we will show you the latest subject in the How tO Live (or H.O.L.) program! A program where we will come in and take control of your life, so you don’t have to worry about a darn thing!
Content advisories: coarse language, flashing lights, references to depression
THE MANING | Aidan Currie (he/him)
At some point a boy becomes a man. But what kind of man are you going to pick?
Content advisories: coarse language, sexual references
The Ballad of a Nandan | Juno (any)
Gentlemen! I did not invite you here to see some boring, old and cracked oriental art while desperately trying to hold onto the beauties that they once were. So behold! My greatest acquisition yet!
Content advisories: coarse language, mild violence, blood
good boy | Evan Andersen Sterns (he/him)
I walk dogs for a living. I get to pretend like I can have something I don’t. I can imagine all these friends are mine. Although I know I can never have one for my own. You see I’m allergic. To dogs. It’s all I’ve known, but I also always knew I wanted one. So, I walk all these dogs knowing I’ll never get to play with them.

Floreria | Izel De Lara (she/her)
Roseetuh has only known one place her entire life: her beautiful greenhouse. But she’s always wondered, what’s on the other side of the soil? Watch her pursue that answer as she embarks on this journey in the outside world.
Midnight Plaza | Michelle Molina (she/her)
When does a place become a home? Who knows?
Maybe it’s with total strangers on a random Monday night at your local cafe.
But that’s only if they want to break the routine, do you?
Miss Conception | Chhavi Disawar (she/her)
Welcome to a pageant.
Welcome to a game show.
Welcome to a woman who smiles… with just enough menace.
In Miss Conception, Chhavi fuses stand-up, rap, spoken word and physical theatre into a fast, unfiltered show that hits hard and looks right at you. Compliments stick. Rules make no sense.
And the joke? It’s not entirely a joke.
You don’t just watch—you’re implicated. You choose how to see her, how to witness yourself, how brave you’re willing to be.
She didn’t wait for a prince—she made a dragon.
Not a princess. The final boss.
Dedicated to my childhood besties—who stayed while I outgrew the princess and grew teeth.
Lean in. Laugh. Win nothing.
Get caught being alive.
Content advisories: Themes of colourism, references to sexual assault, references to sex
