Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is a very unexpected version of the gothic horror classic, “Dracula” by Bram Stoker. More farce than frightening, this delicious show is hysterically funny, as quick-paced as lightening in Transylvania, and very sexy. This show is the perfect antidote to the spooky season’s shorter days and longer nights. Very-loosely adapted […]
April Fools is a very sexy, crazy, uninhibited musical journey of a woman’s walk on the wild side. It takes the audience inside her head with all of her desires, turmoil, how her impulses contradict against her and clash with reality. It is a jam-packed rock show done cabaret-style. It is at times thrilling, funny, […]

SuperDogs the Musical is a fun, family-friendly musical with a simple story and a sweet message of love for our furry companions and their devotion to us humans. You don’t have to be a canine lover to enjoy this excellent show. I know this because I took my dog-fearing mother. For as long as I […]
All I Want for Christmas is a delightful, at times ribald, comedy full of crazy chaos and a jolly serving of holiday joy. The setting is the North Pole in one of Santa’s many mailrooms. It’s December 23rd and all available elves are needed to meet that crucial deadline of Christmas Eve. Ginger (Amelia Sargisson) […]
Every Brilliant Thing is a collection of the bright points that reflect the small, the large, and the deeply meaningful experiences that brings wonder to life. It is humourous, at times sad, and very moving examination of how we never stop moving and learning. This is a one-man show with a Narrator (Daniel Brochu). He […]
