SHOW SYNOPSES:

Avenue Q
Avenue Q is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
A delightfully irreverent smash hit, Avenue Q is the Tony Award–winning musical that tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who moves to a rundown New York apartment on Avenue Q. There, he meets an eclectic group of neighbours—humans and puppets alike—who are all trying to figure out life, love, and their purpose in the real world. With a sharp, witty score and a fearless sense of humour, Avenue Qtackles big issues with heart and hilarity. Equal parts outrageous and endearing, this adult-oriented musical is as thought-provoking as it is laugh-out-loud funny.
Directed by Chris King, this production promises to be a fresh, energetic look at this hilarious musical!
Please note: This production contains strong language, mature themes, and explicit humour. It is intended for adult audiences.
Oct 23 – Nov 14
NUNCRACKERS
Nuncrackers is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
A festive and hilarious sequel to the beloved Nunsense, Nuncrackers serves up a zany holiday variety show courtesy of the Little Sisters of Hoboken. When their cable-access Christmas special goes delightfully off the rails, the sisters pull out all the stops with spirited musical numbers, tap-dancing nuns, and plenty of seasonal cheer. Bursting with warmth, mischief, and toe-tapping tunes, this joyful production is a perfect celebration of the holiday season.
Directed by Jenn Suratos and featuring all of the familiar characters audiences loved in our February/March production of Nunsense, Nuncrackers reunites a dynamic cast for another round of laughter and festive fun.
