Stan, a.k.a. “Definition” is a rising freestyle MC – or at least he was, until his life’s passion lost out to his drug habit. Now on the road to recovery and preparing for a come-back show, Stan confronts his demons and recounts his harrowing journey through the wild highs and deep lows of addiction. Featuring a live DJ, spoken word, and hip hop, this pulse-pounding, full-sensory experience deals in the brutal realities of addiction and drug culture, and the redemption that can lie in recovery. This highly popular production has been updated and includes content addressing the current fentanyl and opioid crises. Join us for this timely view into addiction and celebrity in an era of TikTok and 15-minute fame. As addiction weaves its way through communities across Canada, this powerful piece is more relevant than ever.

Each performance accompanied by a comprehensive resource guide.

Content advisory: discussion of drug addiction and recovery, overdose, some strong language.
