Movie Night: Really Happy Someday
Join us at Soulpepper Theatre for a screening of Really Happy Someday, an indie drama set firmly in Toronto, featuring beloved local actors.
Before he transitioned, Z (Breton Lalama) was a rising musical theatre star struggling with his gender identity. One year into taking testosterone, he has finally started to feel at home in his body but has lost all control of his voice. At the same time, Z’s long-term partner, Danielle (Khadijah Roberts-Abdullah), feels she’s lost the person she fell in love with. Unable to book work with his changing voice, Z starts bartending where his new boss, Santi, emboldens him to fight for himself and his dreams. Z starts working with a singing instructor, Shelly, to learn how to use his new voice, and maybe even trust himself.
Stick around after the screening for a conversation with co-writer & star Breton Lalama and Soulpepper's Artistic Director Paolo Santalucia.
