And Slowly Beauty
Jan. 26-28, Feb. 2-4, 2023
- By Michel Nadeau
- Directed by Catriona Leger
Mr. Mann, a forty-eight-year-old, buttoned-down, middle-management type, feels himself losing touch with his job, his wife, his children, and the rest of his urban life. He wins tickets to a production of Chekhov’s Three Sisters and realizes that the mid-life cocoon he has spun around himself is beginning to unwind. Both humorous and beautiful, this finalist for the 2014 Governor-General's Literary Award for Translation speaks eloquently to the power of art to transform lives.
Mustard

Winner of the 2016 Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play, Mustard is a twisted fairy tale about friendship, love, growing up, moving on, and finding magic where you least expect it.
