CLASSIC THRILLER REIMAGINED FOR MODERN TIMES

London, 1901. Bella Manningham has a picture-perfect life in a gorgeous Victorian manor home with her debonair and doting husband, Jack. But Bella fears she is losing her mind. Items mysteriously disappear, pictures move unexpectedly, gas lights dim for no apparent reason, and strange noises creak through the house at night when Bella is home alone. Is she losing her grip on reality, or is it being loosened for her?

Gaslight, v.: To manipulate (a person) by psychological means into questioning his or her own sanity (Oxford English Dictionary). Based on Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 mystery play Angel Street where the term “gaslighting” was coined. This gripping new adaptation places female resilience and solidarity centre stage as Bella takes her fate in her own hands to solve the mystery that plagues her mind.

"Once

BIG, BRIGHT, BEAUTIFUL FAMILY MUSICAL

upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek..."

Welcome to a magical land of classic fairy-tale characters… but in this fairy-tale, things are a little different than what you’ve read in the storybooks! The prince isn’t charming. The princess is feisty. Donkeys have attitude. And our unlikely hero is a reclusive green orge who lives in a swamp. You thought love was only true in fairy tales?

Join Shrek, Donkey, Princess Fiona, and all your favourite fairy-tale characters as they learn to let their freak flags fly and find love in unlikely places.

Based on the Oscar-winning smash hit film that captures the hearts of adults and kids of all ages, this Tony Award-winning Broadway musical brings the magic of the beloved movie to life on stage with catchy new songs, hilarious hijinks, and a treasure-trove of classic storybook characters…with a twist. Laugh-out-loud fun for the whole family, with a heart of green that proves beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.

“A very satisfying piece of theatrical reinvention.” –TORONTO STAR “Enormously

MURDEROUSLY FUNNY SHERLOCK HOLMES ADVENTURE

The play is afoot. A walking stick is mysteriously left at 221B Baker Street by an unknown visitor. Legend spreads about a deadly hound stalking the moor. The new heir to a large family fortune might be the next victim of an unknown killer. Not to worry, dear Watson, everyone’s favourite detective is on the case! Join Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as they try to crack the case of The Hound of the Baskervilles before a family curse dooms its newest heir and everyone else caught in the crosshairs.

Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig transforms Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic The Hound of the Baskervilles into a fast-paced, hilarious whodunnit filled with twists and turns. Five actors deftly portray more than 40 characters as our intrepid investigators navigate a dizzying web of clues, disguises, and deceit. Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be.

“A play that is ingeniously funny and will keep you guessing until the curtain call.”

Rick Miller returns to complete the BOOM trilogy with an exploration of “Generation Y,” aka Millennials, and “Generation Z.” With his signature performance style, dazzling impersonations, and mind-blowing multimedia, taking on over 100 voices, from George Bush to Lady Gaga to Leonard Cohen, while highlighting significant cultural moments from the past three decades, including Harry Potter, Dance Dance Revolution, iPhones, and social media. The voice of Rick’s own daughter joins the story of his parents, partner, and friends to reflect the joys, aspirations and anxieties of young people today.

Floating and flying from 1996 to 2020 through the internet to find connections between global events, cultural milestones, and personal stories, Miller bring us up to present day—and this time the audience helps choose the future by voting on three possible endings.

“an extraordinarily talented, charismatic performer … He leaves us in awe with his quick-change, quick-draw impersonations.”

VANCOUVER SUN (Hey Viola! Review)

An explosive, dynamic telling of the last week of Jesus’ life, full of iconic music, exhilarating dance, and stirring performances. The greatest story ever told, following the exuberant faith of Jesus’ followers, the betrayal of Judas, and the devastating finale. A story of faith, passion, and betrayal, as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago, leaping off the Sagebrush stage in an all-new, original WCT production.

What’s the buzz? This quintessential 1970’s rock opera has wowed audiences worldwide for over 50 years! Jesus Christ Superstar was the first professionally produced musical created by musical theatre legends Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice ( Evita , Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and more). Filled with powerful voices and well-known classic rock musical numbers as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and “Gethsemane.”

“A conceptual and artistic triumph.”

With humour, forgiveness, and truth, she is able to heal from the past and transform her future.

Award-winning Cree artist Michelle Thrush (from APTN’s Blackstone CBC’s North of 60 Arctic Air weaves real-life memories with laughter, grace, and playfulness to explore her own inner elder. A mix of poignant recollections, beautiful humour, and intimate storytelling that will open your heart and mind while making you laugh out loud.

“Intimate, honest storytelling...you are in the presence of a master storyteller.”
