Men Express Their Feelings

By Sunny Drake

A comedy about hockey, culture and relationships. Two dads and their sons are sequestered to a hockey rink dressing room to sort out a critical situation. Amidst a series of wild misunderstandings and ridiculous antics, these guys get to know each other and themselves a whole lot better, while redefining what it means to WIN.

Men Express Their Feelings is structured like a game of hockey, into three periods, with instant replays and characters stepping out to commentate this high-stakes game of emotions.

Production History

Men Express Their Feelings first premiered in 2020 in Calgary with Downstage Theatre, with generous support of Hit & Myth Productions, just before the lockdown. We also took it deep into the belly of masculinity at a site-specific version in a locker room at the University of Calgary.

It was also performed at Zee Zee Theatre Company (Vancouver) in 2022 and at 25th St Theatre (Saskatoon and Regina) in 2024.
