The Beaver Club

Four very different women pile into a well-worn car and set off on the ultimate cross-country road trip: from Toronto all the way to Dildo, Newfoundland. What starts as a spontaneous getaway soon spirals into a journey full of chaos, confessions, and questionable roadside snacks.

Secret Service
July 8 to August 9

Secret Service

Welcome to Il Glorioso Buco, Toronto’s swankiest Italian restaurant, where the pasta comes with a side of espionage. A team of international spies has taken over the kitchen, and clueless new waiter Harry Marsden is caught in the chaos. It’s a fast-paced farce where Mission: Impossible meets MasterChef in a wildly funny feast of undercover mayhem.

Melanie Janzen in Liars at a Funeral.
JULY 29 to August 30

Liars at a Funeral

A funeral is supposed to be about saying goodbye. Unless your family is involved. Then it’s about old grudges, outrageous secrets, mistaken identities, and enough lies to keep everyone guessing. Liars at a Funeral is a hilariously chaotic comedy where nothing goes according to plan.
