2025/2026 SEASON

All artwork by Jonathan Wood

Join us for a season of playful, thought-provoking theatre that explores identity, storytelling, and the art of adaptation. Featuring the wacky and wildly imaginative Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play, a contemporary take on the pied piper of Hamelin with Pyper, and a guest presentation of Women of the Fur Trade produced in association with Touchstone Theatre, this year’s lineup is full of humour, heart, and big questions.

What’s On Stage:

Pyper

by Susanna Fournier
Directed by Leora Morris
March 11–28, 2026
Frederic Wood Theatre 

Ten cyborg-AI teens try to build a time capsule to prove they exist in case they’re “retired” before graduation. Tracing their origins back to a mysterious piper in the town of Hamelin and an old puppet maker who discovers a talking block of wood, these algorithmic adolescents search for meaning in an ever-accelerating world of rapid obsolescence and hyperconnectivity. The Breakfast Club meets The Terminator in this angsty sci-fi odyssey about youth, identity, and what it means to be human in a digital-dependent world.
