SURPRISE! OUR CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU IS 2 EXTRA PRODUCTIONS THIS SEASON!<\/h3>\n

You may notice a few more shows on our schedule this year, as we have added 2 Co-productions to our season!\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

We are excited to be teaming up with our friends at Scorpio Theatre, for Sylvia, Jan 12 – 27<\/strong> and our new friends at Reflective Theatre YYC for The Rocky Horror Show, Apr 5 – 13<\/strong>. Both of our bonus productions will be presented at the Pumphouse Theatre, and we are offering our Season Subscribers 20% off! Tickets for both of these productions will be available Dec 1st through Morpheus Theatre.<\/p>\n

Sylvia, Jan 12 \u2013 27, 2024, Co-Production with Scorpio Theatre<\/strong>
\nA play by A.R. Gurney<\/strong><\/p>\n

A smart, silly, sophisticated, and occasionally salty comedy about relationships, nature, and growing older.\u00a0 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\u2026 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.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Rocky Horror Show, Apr 5 – 13, 2024, Co-Production with Reflective Theatre YYC<\/strong>
\nA musical with music, lyrics and book by Richard O’Brien<\/strong><\/p>\n

A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the 1930s through to the early 1960s, the musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite\u00a0scientist, Dr Frank-N-Furter, unveiling his new creation, Rocky, a sort of\u00a0Frankenstein-style monster\u00a0in the form of an artificially made, fully grown, physically perfect\u00a0muscle man\u00a0complete “with blond hair and a tan”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Feb 2 – 17 – THE PEACOCK SEASON – <\/strong>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\u2019s 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. Buy tickets\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
