Billy Bishop Goes to War
By John Gray | Directed by Danny Harvey
July 4 – 19 | Studio Two
Marking the 100 year anniversary of the onset of WWI, Billy Bishop Goes To War tells the real life story of local WWI hero, Billy Bishop. Through raucous stories, haunting memories and vibrant song, Billy Bishop recounts his life from humble beginnings to fame and glory as Canada’s greatest flying ace. Part musical, part drama, this production is staged with one actor performing multiple roles and pianist accompaniment. Single Tickets: $32
Sleuth
By Anthony Shaffer | Directed by Robert Woodcock
July 25 – August 9 | Studio Two
Suspense-thriller Sleuth brings razor-sharp wit to a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. An eccentric mystery writer lures his wife’s new lover into a tangled web of deceit, jealousy, drama and intrigue. Sleuth is an exciting puzzle filled with cunning plot twists that not only beg the question “Whodunit?” but “Whodunwhat?”
Single Tickets: $32
Drinking Alone
By Norm Foster | Directed by Danny Harvey
August 15 – 23 | Studio Two
Romantic comedy Drinking Alone follows with the familial dysfunction, honesty and believability that makes Norm Foster a mainstay every summer. A man hires an escort to pose as his fiancée in an effort to impress his visiting father. Set in the midst of a less-than-ideal family reunion, Drinking Alone is exquisitely crafted and filled with wit and warmth.
Single Tickets: $32
You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown
By Clark Gesner | Directed by Robert Woodcock
August 20 – 23 | Main Stage
Closing out the season is an uplifting ode to the lovable Peanuts gang! From bright uncertain morning to hopeful starlit evening, Charlie Brown and friends face challenges in the pursuit of happiness. This charming musical, brimming with hope, humour and jazzy tunes, will have the whole family smiling and singing along.
Single Tickets: $37
