For the first time we are presenting a sequel.

Prepare for an uproarious ride, full of mistaken identities, bedroom hijinks, and madcap delight.\u00a0 This farce brings us 4 of the same characters that you loved in Lend me a Tenor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

The Peacock Season<\/a><\/h2>\n

February 2nd to 17th, 2024
\nBy Otis Bigelow<\/p>\n

The play is set in 1908. Having made the mistake of marrying for love, Clarke and Cora Mariner are reminded upon renewed acquaintance with their former sweethearts, of all the riches their foolishness has denied them, and the simultaneous thought occurs to them that perhaps it’s not too late to try again. But, as divorce is unthinkable in their circle, murder appears to be the only answer, whereupon they try to do away with each other; their diabolical plans goes awry to the extent of nine unintended victims. Suffice it to say that the police are as inept as the murderers, and all ends in as stylishly, and as charmingly bizarre, a fashion as it began.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

Sylvia<\/a><\/h2>\n

January 12th – 27th, 2024
\nBy A.R. Gurney
\nA Co-Production with Scorpio Theatre<\/a><\/p>\n

Greg is a man of middle age, a restless empty-nester tired of his job in finance and looking for meaning in his life. Sylvia is an exuberant lab\/poodle mix, astray and looking for a new home. When they meet at the park it is love at first sight!<\/p>\n

But Greg\u2019s wife Kate is looking forward to some independence now that the couple no longer has children to care for, and is less than thrilled by the clever and coquettish canine who jumps, slobbers, sits on her couch, and takes Greg\u2019s attention away from his marriage. A touching and hilarious love story!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

The Rocky Horror Show<\/a><\/h2>\n

April 5th – 13th, 2024
\nMusic, Lyrics & Book by Richard O’Brien
\nA Co-Production with Misfit Theatre YYC<\/p>\n

Join Misfit Theatre YYC and Morpheus Theatre as we take you on a science-fiction, double feature journey through Richard O\u2019Brien\u2019s iconic rock-n-roll musical. A hilarious, campy, and thrilling tribute to the sci-fi and horror B films from the golden age of Hollywood to the 1960s, \u201cThe Rocky Horror Show\u201d tells the tale of a recently engaged couple and their wild misadventure. While on their way to visit an old friend, they find themselves with a flat tire and nowhere to go in the middle of a stormy night, until they find an old castle seemingly in the middle of nowhere. What starts as a trip to ask for help, turns into a topsy-turvy evening of the strangest events where they are subjected to bizarre whims at the hand of a fabulously dressed mad scientist and his servants. Will our intrepid couple make it out unscathed, or will the darkness completely transform them?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n
