Nov. 21-23 and 28-30, 2019
- By Kat Sandler
- Directed by Robin Nichol
A job at Fischer, Cos, Sutton, and Tate is worth killing for… but is it worth dying for? Four interns find themselves abandoned at a camp run by a disgraced scoutmaster. They’re each given a token and instructed to get their hands on all four tokens at any cost. What begins as a darkly funny exercise in deception and manipulation, quickly turns deadly as the camp descends into chaos.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Feb. 26-29 and Mar. 4-7, 2020
- By William Shakespeare
- Directed by Catriona Leger
Four sparring lovers take refuge in the woods, only to find themselves in the midst of a dispute between the king and queen of the fairies. With the roguish Puck causing havoc, what could possibly go wrong? Shakespeare’s evergreen comedy is a tale of order and chaos, love and fantasy. It glitters with dramatic poetry and is full of mischief, misunderstanding and merriment.
