Kicking off this week is the English-language premiere of the enchanting Quebecois play, From Alaska. Written by Sébastien Harrisson and translated to English by Leanna Brodie, this play whisks you away to a world where the ordinary meets the magical.
Next up is 1939, a strikingly beautiful and humorous Indigenous play that wowed audiences when it premiered at the Stratford Festival in 2021. Writer and director Jani Lauzon, joined by co-writer Kaitlyn Riordan, returns to the Belfry to intertwine the lives of students at a Residential School with one of Shakespeare’s most mystical works.
In December, prepare for holiday fun with the Mom’s the Word Collective’s hit comedy Talkin’ Turkey. Nothing is sacred as the Moms tell their truth, the hilarious truth and nothing but the embarrassing truth. This show is for anyone who has had a tough time getting in the spirit of the season.
As the new year unfolds, don’t miss Behind the Moon, a deeply moving drama from award-winning South Asian-Canadian playwright and novelist Anosh Irani. Dive into the world of a young South Asian immigrant working in a Toronto restaurant and a mysterious stranger drawn to the same place.
April brings the highly anticipated world premiere of If You Could Read My Mind: The Songs of Gordon Lightfoot. Following the success of our sold-out Joni Mitchell show, this new production features Gordon Lightfoot’s timeless classics reimagined by the talented Tobin Stokes and Michael Shamata, the duo behind I Think I’m Fallin’: The Songs of Joni Mitchell.
