MAINSTAGE SERIES

A GOOD WAY OUT by Cara Norrish • Sept 23-Oct 15 • WORLD PREMIERE!

SUITCASE STORIES by Maki Yi • Oct 28-Nov 12 • WORLD PREMIERE!
With only one tiny suitcase to accompany her, Maki leaves Korea to search for a new home in Canada. What follows is an incredible journey of placement, replacement, and displacement, told with winsome vulnerability and plucky humour.

HOLY MO: A CHRISTMAS SHOW by Lucia Frangione • Dec 2-31 • WORLD PREMIERE!
Folly, Guff, and Buffoona are back! A reverently irreverent re-imagining of the Nativity story, told with gusto and a varying commitment to accuracy by three beloved fools. A long-awaited sequel to past hits Holy Mo and Holy Mo and Spew Boy.
