The Box by Sheldon Rosen

Performed at the Barbara McIntyre Theatre at the University of Victoria September 22-25, 2025 and produced at the Intrepid Theatre for the 2026 Victoria Fringe Festival by Smashbox Theatre Productions

It’s 1974, Vancouver. Reality is fragile in this world of dreams. Two friends, Man One and Man Two, are haunted by an unopened but promising gift…If you thought all your dreams would come true, would you open the box? Written by Sheldon Rosen and performed by Anton Matsigura and Elliot Baskin Smith, this mind-bending duet calls into question the role of the imagination in a dangerous yet necessary dance between friendship, aspiration, and burgeoning adulthood.
