The Taming of the Shrew
A comedy by William Shakespeare
Directed by Jamie Bruno
October 11 – 13, 2013
The ultimate battle of the sexes is commenced in Shakespeare’s most outrageous comedy, as sharp wits and sharper words are furiously exchanged between suitor Petrucchio and his would-be bride Katherina. Petrucchio has a cunning plan to tame her for his wife. She has other ideas, none involving marriage. Little sister Bianca inflames the considerable passion of every eligible man in town, but daddy won’t let that happen until big sister Kate gets a husband of her own. Packed full of slapstick humour, riotous jokes and a rogue’s gallery of colourful characters, this is Shakespeare at his most hilarious.

To Kill A Mockingbird
Directed by Heather McNeil
April 4 – 6, 2014
Harper Lee’s TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Dramatized by Christopher Sergel, this tale of humanity is as resonant today as it was when the play was set in the 1930s.
“Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit’em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” Such was a lawyer’s advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of this theatrical adaptation – a black man charged with taking advantage of a white girl. Told through the memories of Jean Louise Finch, a grown-up Scout, the play explores the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s.
HAIR
The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical
Directed by Matthew Ryan Limerick
June 13 – 15, 2014
A joyous celebration of youth and a poignant journey through the tumultuous 1960s America! This exuberant musical about searching for truth, peace and love in Vietnam War-era America continues to strike a resonant chord with audiences of all ages. The themes and struggles in HAIR seem as vital and relevant today.
The long list of chart-topping hit songs, including “Aquarius,” “Let the Sunshine in,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” and “Easy to be Hard,” became anthems of counter-culture and the sexual revolution and continue to have a profound impact on audiences.
