Dream: A New Canadian Musical
June 6 to August 30, 2025
An authentic musical story where dreams come true

A Canadian musical about a truly remarkable family legacy of redemption. An orphaned teenager finds himself scamming on the city streets before being placed in the care of an elderly widow in a rural farming community. Through a dramatic change of scenery and unfamiliar acts of kindness, he discovers purpose, belonging and the love of his life. The songs are unforgettable. The story, true.

Every Brilliant Thing
Every Brilliant Thing
July 4 to August 30, 2025
A joyful, participatory play about life's unexpected wonders

A mother’s struggle with chronic depression inspires her child’s life-changing mission: to create a list of Every Brilliant Thing to prove life is worth living. The task evolves into a profound exploration of life’s ups and downs and as the child grows into adulthood, the list grows too. With warmth, humour, and an interactive twist, this poignant performance celebrates resilience, gratitude, and reminds us of the beauty hidden in everyday moments.

Content Advisory: Every Brilliant Thing contains mature themes, including depression, self-harm, and suicide. Viewer discretion is advised.

A coming-of-middle-age mystery

In this bold new play, Susanne unravels a long-buried family mystery filled with foreboding dreams, a sole survivor, and a harrowing escape. Confronting her formidable mother and fiercely loyal brother, she is drawn back into the fantastical world of her childhood, piecing together a story she never fully understood. Through this journey, Susanne reexamines life’s most defining moments, uncovering who she truly is by rediscovering where she came from.

November 7 - December 23, 2025
A timeless holiday classic about believing in the impossible

Christmas magic comes to life when elderly Kris Kringle steps in as Macy’s Santa Claus, insisting he’s the genuine article. With warmth and kindness, Kris rekindles a sense of childlike wonder in even the most skeptical hearts, especially young Susan and her no-nonsense mother. When his sanity is questioned, Kris finds himself at the centre of a courtroom battle where he must prove that believing in the impossible is where miracles begin.
