Bear With Me

Comedy-marvel and performer Diane Flacks takes you on an up-front-and-personal, hilarious and poignant journey in an exploration of the all-consuming rollercoaster that will leave you in stitches (not down there).  From pregnancy to queer-parenting and from conception to the real “ring of fire”, Bear With Me culminates in the love affair with her child and the search for self amidst the chaos. This stage adaptation of her book by the same name is a comic flight into the secret and insane world of motherhood.

Wild Dogs

Each evening at dusk, six people gather at the edge of the woods calling their dogs back – dogs that have turned wild.  Drawn together by need, this unlikely group forms a community – until violence strikes unexpectedly. An unforgettable story about the wild in all of us

a nanking winter

A brazen young writer’s campaign to ensure the past is not forgotten is challenged as she prepares for her book release - transporting us to one of the greatest horrors of the twentieth century. 

Age of Arousal

Genre-busting, rule-bending and ambitiously original, award-winning playwright Linda Griffiths’ Age of Arousal is a lavish, sexy ensemble piece about the forbidden and gloriously liberated self.

Groundswell Festival 2007

New work by Sonja Mills, Erin Shields, Dennison Smith, Niki Landau, Marjorie Chan and Stacey Engels in our annual festival of new work by women.

Crave

Crave presents four characters, or perhaps four aspects of human nature, set in an unnamed city. Two men and two women, each only having a letter for a name, are linked through various relationships. The ferocity of craving someone, or something, is palpable in this intriguing inter-textual work. Sarah Kane paints four portraits of the turbulence of the human heart as these four individuals negotiate the pressures of love, loss and desire.

The Danish Play

Back by Popular demand, Sonja Mills’ The Danish Play returns to Toronto after a national and international tour! Kate Hennig leads a powerful ensemble in this riveting production that has received massive critical acclaim. The Danish Play, a true story of resistance, is the swirling saga of Agnete Ottosen, the Danish Poet and famed Resistance fighter. Sonja Mills, Ottosen’s great-niece, has written a play that offers historical insight and critical reflection on some of the most urgent issues of our time- nationalism, justice and freedom.

Mathilde

An aging woman’s sexuality, a marriage in midlife crisis and the taboo of a young boy’s flesh, Mathilde is a feast of emotional contradictions. An arrestingly honest look at a woman trying to reclaim her individuality in midlife, someone who has banished herself from her comfortable, upper middle class marriage, and her successful career to a self-imposed excommunication fueled by sexual abandonment.
