Welcome to the Grinder Store! Original Scripts Seeing Red, Loosely based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood, the play concerns a young girl named Red and her coming of age in a cruel and unforgiving world. This version of the tale strips away much of the twentieth century "Disney-fying" and exposes the shocking, graphic, very adult realities of the original story. This is definitely not children's theatre. For amateur

Home Farm, This play was conceived of before the Canadian Beef industry was destroyed by the paranoia over BSE, or Mad Cow Disease. Rewritten to adequately reflect the impact this has had on Canadian agriculture, Home Farm has become a eulogy of sorts for the family farm. The plays' premiere in October 2004 struck a chord with rural and urban audiences alike, establishing Grinder Productions as a theatre company truly willing to dare to be different.

All My Sins Remembered A mid-sized Western town of no particular importance is besieged by a bizarre string of gruesome murders. As the bodies pile up it becomes apparent that each of the incidents closely mimic the murders, suicides and battle-kills of Shakespearean tragedies. Suspicions fly around a graduate student at the university who's writing his thesis on the Bard's treatment of death. But the case is far from certain, and the student himself is sure he is innocent. A cascade of life, death and deception leads to the shocking conclusion.
