"Romeo and Juliet" Tuesday to Saturday August 18th-29th 7pm weather permitting. Featuring 13 returning company members and technicians for this 10-year Anniversary production!
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story about sworn enemies who fall in love. History's most famous couple must reconcile their burgeoning love with their families' ongoing conflict. Directed by Alma Sarai, this production focuses on choices and their consequences written in the stars and made on Earth.
And... We're thrilled that last year's children's work was so well received! Trevor Copp returns with Mime presentation for all ages. August 23rd and August 30th weather permitting.
Bring a lawn chair, a blanket, bug spray and a layer. We are in the great outdoors!
This event is ticketless! When you make your contribution, we'll have you on record and it is not attached to any particular performance date (unless you opt for a picnic). Every contribution is valid for any performance you choose to attend. Pay ahead or arrive ready with cash or a smartphone to enjoy the show!

Elizabeth Rex is a 2000 play by Timothy Findley, set in 1601, following Queen Elizabeth I on the night before her lover, the Earl of Essex, is executed for treason. Seeking distraction, she visits her acting troupe, led by Shakespeare, in a royal barn, where she engages in intimate confrontations regarding gender, power, and love.
"Goodnight Desdemona, Good morning Juliet" by Ann-Marie MacDonald August 24th 7:00pm with limited seating in the cockpit. Featuring even MORE returning artists and technicians, can you believe it? Directed by Trevor Copp.
Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is a Canadian comedic play by Ann-Marie MacDonald (1988) where Constance Ledbelly, an overlooked academic, enters the worlds of Othello and Romeo and Juliet. She intervenes to save the protagonists, acting as a "Wise Fool" who reverses the tragic endings into comedies while discovering her own self-confidence.
