Featured Plays

Add to Cart by Elyse Lavande
Add to Cart is a farcical look at how our modern conveniences are often far less than convenient. What would an online shop look like if it were an actual physical store, and how easy and convenient would it actually be to buy something there? Come run some errands at the Smile Mart with us, and enjoy all the perks, and quirks, of modern technology.
Directed by Elyse Thea Lavande
Performed by Jhuntue D. Grey, Tamera Broczkowski, & Elyse Thea Lavande


Moments in Time by Jan Sims
Told backwards in time, the play looks at the emotions experienced by a mother at a time of crisis. It takes place in separate scenes during a life-changing event, and follows her journey from acceptance, to nostalgia and sadness, preceded by panic and fear, and begins with anger and frustration. 

Written, Directed, and Performed by Jan Sims

​Venus and Cappella by Jade Walker
Venus the Goddess of Love is fed up with her boyfriend Adonis the God of Beauty. He smells and she has grown tired of his repressive sexual advances towards her. Venus secretly longs to be with her gardener Capella instead. But does Capella feel the same way about her? Enjoy this queer Sapphic adaptation of Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis.
Directed by Joshua Patrick 
Performed by Eden Eidt, Jason McMannis, Corey Patrick


Alpha by Sarah Hagarty
On this week's episode of award-winning podcast The Bite, host Jake Miller talks asserting masculine dominance and how to become an alpha male in your social circles. Sharing exclusive anecdotes from his personal life, this prolific thinker will guide you towards  becoming the leader of your pack, revealing the truth of what it truly means to be the Alpha. 

Directed by Sarah Hagarty
Performed by Haiden Lyle


Reunited Friends by Nicole McInnis
Two Italian immigrants separated by the events of WW2, reunite over olives and aperitivos in an Italian-Canadian restaurant fifty years later.
Directed by Adam Corrigan Holowitz
Performed by Chris McAuley and Christopher F. Parker


Bi by Kydra Ryan
While you’re learning a language, Duolingo is learning a lot about you. In a not-so-distant future, Kassidy, a closeted bisexual woman is learning German to visit her gay friend for Pride in Berlin but Duo’s new AI-generated content has been targeting her sexuality. Kassidy’s ready to cancel everything from Duolingo to the trip, but that fabulous green mascot manifests to get her back to learning and on her way to Deutschland, home of biergartens and Spargelfest!
Directed by Adam Corrigan Holowitz

Performed by David O’Garr and Kydra Ryan
​

Inner Demons by Matt Butler 
An exorcist brings a demon out of a young boy, but this demon has a few demons of its own. Inner Demons is a dark comedy about insecurity and self-discovery. With a big heart and a foul mouth, it owes as much to mental wellness as it does to The Satanic Panic.
Directed by Matt Butler
Performed by Vera Lluka, Dale Hirlehey, Sarah Taylor, Mariana Hrnjak
