Toronto, ON – August 3 2010. The co-op who brought you last summer’s smash hit Tape and this summers Howie the Rookie has reunited to mount David Mamet’s classic comedy Sexual Perversity in Chicago.

The Perverse Players Co-op is an Equity approved, artist run, not-for-profit theatre co-op dedicated to showcasing both emerging and established playwrighting and acting talent. We strive to produce compelling, intelligent, and visceral drama, which will remain in the mind of the viewer long after they’ve left the theatre. Our goal is to liberate theatre from its conventional venues, by creating new stages out of found spaces and use our vibrant power to draw attention and life to developing areas of Toronto.
The Obie- Award winning Sexual Perversity in Chicago is about two male office workers, Danny and Bernie, on the make in the swinging singles scene of the early 1970s. Danny meets Deborah in a library and soon they are not only lovers but roommates, and their story quickly evolves into a modern romance in all its sticky details.

Lifetime has greenlighted the telepic “Reviving Ophelia,” inspired by the popular nonfiction book about raising teenage daughters.
Jane Kaczmarek (“Malcolm in the Middle”) and Kim Dickens (“Treme”) will play adult sisters who must lean on each other when confronted with their daughters’ problems — particularly when one of the teenagers is being abused by her boyfriend.
Teena Booth wrote the screenplay, while Bobby Roth is directing for Muse Entertainment. Joel S. Rice and Michael Prupas exec producing.
Shooting takes place this month. Pic will air on Lifetime later this year.
Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts is executive producing the comedy feature Jesus Henry Christ, currently prepping for a Toronto start June 5, shooting through to July 11. Screenplay is by director Dennis Lee (Fireflies In The Garden).
Based on Lee’s Academy Award-winning short film of the same name, Jesus Henry Christ follows ‘Henry James Hermin’, a boy conceived in a petri-dish and raised by a loving, left-wing feminist. At the age of 10, he decides his mother’s love is not enough and begins to follow a trail of ‘Post-It’ notes stuck around town hoping it will lead him to his biological father.
Sukee Chew of Hopscotch Pictures will also produce…

TELETTON Series My Babysitter’s a Vampire Starts Production
Fresh TV, in association with TELETOON Canada inc., announced today that production is underway for its first live-action MOW, My Babysitter’s A Vampire. Filming is taking place at a West Toronto soundstage and on location in Hamilton. The movie is set to air on TELETOON in October 2010 on both its English- and French-language services.
My Babysitter’s A Vampire is a fun, family-friendly spin on Twilight meets Adventures in Babysitting. The story unfolds with the first day of high school for 14-year-old Ethan (Matthew Knight: Flashpoint, A Heartland Christmas) and his best pals Benny (Atticus Mitchell: How to be Indie) and Rory (Cameron Kennedy: Toronto Stories and The Latest Buzz). They are determined to shed their ‘geek’ image and finally be cool. But when Ethan’s parents come home from “date night” to find Ethan and Benny having an ice-cream-eating contest while his eight-year-old sister Jane (Ella Jonas Farlinger: Leslie, My Name is Evil) wanders the neighborhood, they slam him with the worst possible punishment: from now on, he’s getting a babysitter on Friday nights! Ethan is mortified when the babysitter turns out to be smokin’ hot Sarah (Vanessa Morgan Mziray: Harriet the Spy, The Latest Buzz) – the girl he’s been crushing on forever.
But Sarah’s got her own problems. Her boyfriend Jesse (Joe Dinicol: Passchendaele, Train 48) is a vampire who bites her against her will, and she’s currently stuck between the human world of the living and the vampire world of the undead. When Sarah leaves Ethan and Benny to save her friend Erica (Kate Todd: Cashing In, Life with Derek), from suffering the same fate as her, the guys follow her and learn the truth – THE BABYSITTER’S A VAMPIRE!!!
