Neptune Theatre is located on sacred land that has been the site of human activity since time immemorial. We are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq, and we acknowledge them as the past, present and future caretakers of this land.

As artists, we are grateful to work and build community here. As stewards of culture, we commit to continuing to improve our relations with Indigenous people and upholding values of collaboration and inclusivity in all that we do.

We recommend that masks be worn in our venues. As our theatres place the audience so close to the action on stage, masking helps protect not only audience members but also the actors, who cannot wear masks when performing. By keeping them safe, we all can help prevent COVID-related performance cancellations.

A STORY THAT WILL SWEEP ITS WAY INTO YOUR HEART

Inspired by the local refugee resettlement program, a small town organizes a Learn-to-Curl class to welcome newcomers. But when its organizer slips on the ice and breaks her hip, the rink’s ice maker and former champion curler Stuart MacPhail is forced to step in as head coach. Trouble is, Stuart has some strong opinions about immigrants...

What follows is an inspiring and hilarious story of a group of unlikely athletes who face off against local prejudice and claim their identity as “new Canadians”. Don’t miss the hit comedy about burning rocks, bonspiel beers, and becoming a team.

CHAIRS’S MESSAGE

Welcome to The New Canadian Curling Club! This hilarious comedy by acclaimed comedy playwright Mark Crawford is as heartwarming as it is timely. A laugh-out-loud funny musing on what it means to be a newcomer, how hearts and minds can be opened to change, and what it means to be truly Canadian, this play is a beautiful reminder of hope.

If you enjoy this show, then I’m delighted to let you know that we will have another Mark Crawford hit in our 2025-2026 season! Chase the Ace will be a part of our Radiant Subscription Package, along with Cult Play and The Ghost of Violet Shaw.

There’s a show for every taste in the next season lineup, and I highly encourage you to visit our website or talk to our Box Office team to learn more. Subscriptions for our next season are on sale now, and guaranteed to be the best savings on multi-show purchases - and you get some great perks as well!

Our season isn’t over just yet, so be sure to book your tickets for Little Shop of Horrors and Casey & Diana if you haven’t already. See you at the theatre.

I’m so delighted to welcome you to The New Canadian Curling Club. This heartfelt comedy is a timely reminder of what it means to be Canadian, and that we are better together than divided.

Packing up your life and moving thousands of kilometers away from everything you know is hard. Finding a community can be daunting, but when you’re able to connect with strangers over a shared activity, beautiful things can happen. The themes of this show are so important, especially now, and I hope that you leave here today feeling buoyed by the messages of acceptance and love.

If you’ve been loving this season of programming at Neptune Theatre, I’m thrilled to say we’ve just announced our 2025-2026 season! From blockbuster musicals to proven classics, we have something for everyone, and subscriptions are now on sale. Be sure to check out the lineup by visiting www.neptunetheatre.com or talking to our Box Office staff!
