The Beaver Club
Thursday June 18 – 7:30pm
Written by Barb Scheffler
Directed by Emily Oriold
Four long-time friends 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, confession, and more than a few questionable roadside snacks. Armed with nothing but a scrapbook, a cooler full of kombucha, and decades of shared history, the women relive old memories, create outrageous new ones, and take on everything from skinny dipping in questionable lakes to navigating tourist traps with names they definitely can’t say on the radio. Secrets are spilled, boundaries are tested, and laughter erupts at every turn. As the kilometres roll by, the miles on their friendship deepen. The Beaver Club is a raucous, unfiltered, and surprisingly touching celebration of womanhood, aging disgracefully, and friendships that can survive anything.
Secret Service
Thursday July 31 – 2:00pm
Written by Ephraim Ellis
Directed by Emily Oriold
Welcome to Il Glorioso Buco, Toronto’s swankiest, most suspiciously well-staffed Italian restaurant. It’s opening night, the risotto is simmering, and the atmosphere is thick with… espionage? That’s right – unbeknownst to the hungry guests and hapless staff, a crack team of international spies has taken over the kitchen, using marinara as camouflage for a top-secret sting operation. Enter Harry Marsden: an eternally optimistic rookie who thinks he’s just starting a regular old waiter gig. Dressed to impress in his ill-fitting tux and armed only with a serving tray and way too much enthusiasm, Harry has no idea he’s just walked into the culinary equivalent of a James Bond blooper reel. Featuring tuxedoed takedowns, linguini larceny, suspicious accents and one very confused maître d’, this world premiere is Mission: Impossible meets slapstick as Secret Service proves the biggest secret might just be Harry’s complete cluelessness. Spies, lies, and al dente drama – what could possibly go wrong?
