Whether you’re a theatre buff or just looking to spice-up your summer routine, there is something for you.
2019 Summer Season
Harvest | June 26 – July 19
Hilarity that hits close to home: A retired couple decides to trade in their country life for a condo in the city. But, when they discover that the “nice young man” leasing their home has been raising a different crop altogether, they are thrown into an unexpected adventure! The Globe & Mail calls Harvest “funny and poignant at the same time” with “memorable characters” and “deliciously sardonic one-liners.”

Dean & Jerry: What Might Have Been | July 24 – August 16
Derek Marshall and Nicholas Arnold present a fabulous concert of hits and comedy. With their own brand of wacky humour, Dean & Jerry: What Might Have Been pays tribute to the comedy team that dominated television, radio, and nightclub stages in the 1950’s with timeless hits such as “Everybody Loves Somebody,” “Sway,” and Jerry’s #1 hit, “Rockabye Your Baby.” The comedy schtick and story-telling of these two terrific entertainers will take you through the real-life story that begs the question, what if they had never split?

Kalamazoo | September 11 – 27
Peg and Irv, two quirky but endearing baby-boomers, bravely venture into the world of modern dating. But, when these opposites attract, they discover love isn’t any easier the second time around. Winner of the Riva Shiner Comedy Award, KALAMAZOO is a romantic comedy about life’s second act and learning you’re never too old to be young. As Encore Michigan said, “‘Kalamazoo’ captures love for any age.”
