Productions in 2025

The Trojan Women and The Birds

March 5-8, 2025

Grenfell Fine Arts Theatre

 

Dark and light. Serious and foolish. Tragedy and Comedy. Theatre has always recognized and shown the extremes of human existence. This evening of two short classical Greek plays, adapted by acclaimed Canadian female writers, gives the graduating students of 2025 the opportunity to explore the wide range of human experience- the terrible grief of losing home and family, and then the joyous hope of new possibility. Join us for Euripides' The Trojan Women (text by Anne Carson), and Aristophanes' The Birds (adapted by Yvette Nolan) in a journey from deepest darkness to fun-filled light.

The Tinkering Tailor

April 2-5, 2025

Grenfell Fine Arts Theatre

A newly married doctor fancies himself as a bit of a Casanova. His attempt to rendezvous with his would-be mistress will only work if he tells a little tiny untruth that involves his very healthy friend being at death’s door. One little fib leads to another, and soon, the bumbling playboy finds himself posing as an Italian tailor in a dressmaker’s shop and juggling a jealous husband, a mother-in-law, a friend who cannot take a hint, his wife, and various customers who all arrive at the shop, creating a labyrinth of lies and complications that it may take a miracle to unravel. This is not Greek tragedy. It’s a furiously fast Feydeau farce focused on fun and fun and more fun.
