EGGSHELLS - Winnipeg Fringe 2025

After a 14 year hiatus MPMM Productions returned to the 2025 Winnipeg Fringe with a memoir. Growing up with ADHD and suffering from constant bullying producer/performer Joel Passante discovered theatre as a way to cope and grow.  As the years went on everything was heading in the right direction until personal reasons resulted in a what was supposed to be a brief leave.  As the years went on he lost his lust and drive to perform.  Now after over a decade an opportunity to return has arose.  Telling a tale of lost joy, raising a family, rebuilding life after things didn't go the way as planned EGGSHELLS received great feedback from the crowd and reignited the lost passion to return to theatre.

PATRON REVIEWS

 

  • Joel shares a very personal and engaging journey that felt relatable, vulnerable and authentic. Highly recommend that you fit this one in if you can!
  • I laughed, I cried, I called my mom, and then thought about calling my therapist.
  • Passante’s well-paced, stripped down storytelling takes us through the emotional triumphs and tragedies that have led him to the present moment. Full of humour and heart, this candid one-man-show is crafted with the grace and gratitude of a veteran performer.
  • Gotta say it- but this one was nice. Not a Fringe show that I would typically go see, but I’m so glad I did. There is a relatable moment in this show for everyone! Joel was able to touch our hearts, and share such personal stories of his life. Go check this show out if you want a funny, yet tragic type of storytelling show!
  • This story was a lot more stripped down and vulnerable than what I was expecting, but it was exactly the story I needed to hear. If you enjoy story-telling shows, connecting with performers, and wrestling with the triumph and tragedy that is real life, definitely add this show to your list. This show is an excellent exploration into the mess of healing, sacrifice, and the value of the things that bring us joy.
  • Highly relatable, deeply emotional, and completely engaging, “Eggshells” is one of those rare experiences where every single person in the audience can identify with something. Joel weaves a tapestry of human experience that leaves you alternately laughing and crying, often within a few moments of each other. This one-man show is not only one of the best things I’ve seen at the Fringe this year, but one of the finest I’ve ever had the pleasure to enjoy. Treat yourself to this slice of brilliance, and welcome home, Joel.
  • This show was a sharing of life that everyone can say they have experienced.
    This play will make you relive your life and appreciate that you are not alone.
    Thanks for sharing!
