National Debut of the Son of a Temperance
Son of A Temperance
Written by Lori McIntyre
Dates: September 18 - 20, 2026
Set in Prohibition-era Cookstown, Ontario, this lively comedy follows the clash between the town’s zealous Templars and the proprietors of the local Temperance House, where rules are bent and secrets are brewed. Inspired by real local history, the play serves up fast-paced humour, small-town rivalries, and a toast to community mischief.
Cinderella - If The Shoe Fits
Written by Debbie Collins & David Nairn
Dates: November 13 - 29, 2026
This witty, modern twist on the classic fairy tale follows Cinderella as she challenges expectations, outsmarts her enemies, and discovers that true happiness comes from being herself. Packed with comedy, heart, and surprising turns, it’s a feel-good story about courage, kindness, and choosing your own path.
The Drawer Boy
Written by Michael Healey
Dates: February 19 - March 7, 2027
An actor arrives at a remote Ontario farm to research a play and meet Angus and Morgan, lifelong friends and World War II veterans living quietly together. As memories surface, their shared past reveals how storytelling, loyalty, and friendship can both protect and transform.
Miss Shakespeare
Written by Tracey Power
Dates: April 23 - May 9, 2027
A bold, all-female cast imagines the untold story of women in Shakespeare’s time, forbidden from the stage but rich with talent and ambition. With wit and rebellion, they challenge history itself—and demand to be heard.
Four Play: A Showcase of Play Readings
Date: June 3 - 6, 2027
Every day a different play! A showcase of lightly rehearsed readings of plays by local playwrights.
