Synopsis
The story is set in modern-day Toronto. We are not at Café Momus, but at The Tranzac Club. The comforting dive bar in the heart of the Annex. Come meet Rodolfo and Marcello, two good friends who just can’t quite get it together. You’ll also be introduced to Musetta and Mimi, two lovely ladies who steal the love and attention away from our young men. Come for the community, while participating in this story. This is La Bohème. Experience it for the first time. And have a beer while you’re at it. (againstthegraintheatre.com, 2014).
