SUMMARY:Local Affairs
DESCRIPTION:Every fake town needs a public forum. This is ours. \nMungston is in disarray. The communal bulletin board is overflowing and Assistant Mayor Riley Hardwick is tasked with hosting a town hall to work through a growing pile of flyers\, official notices\, and local propaganda. \nComedians are asked to advocate for what they believe in\, even if they’re discovering it at the same time as the audience. The future of diplomacy in Mungston depends on them. \nAll concerns will be addressed. Attendance is strongly encouraged.

SUMMARY:People\, Places & Things
DESCRIPTION:A struggling actress’s life spins out of control\, landing her in rehab\, in this irreverent and darkly funny play. \nEmma was having the time of her life. Now she’s in rehab.

When intoxication feels like the only way to survive the modern world\, how can she ever sober up?

SUMMARY:Harm
DESCRIPTION:Mitch and Murray Productions is excited to produce and present the North American premiere of Harm from Friday\, March 20 to Sunday\, March 29\, 2026\, at Studio 16. \nAudiences are invited into an unsettling world with Harm\, a gripping one-woman play by acclaimed British playwright Phoebe Eclair-Powell. This suspenseful\, razor-sharp comedy stars Kelli Ogmundson (Animal Control) in a powerful solo performance under the direction of Jennifer Copping. \nHarm follows an unhappy estate agent whose life takes a startling turn after she sells a home to Alice\, a charismatic social media influencer. What starts as an unlikely friendship quickly spirals into fixation\, and when her obsession with Alice’s seemingly perfect world intensifies\, the lines between digital fantasy and real life become dangerously blurred. Harm is a thrilling\, twisted tale on the corrosive effects of social media and isolation. \n“Our company’s mandate is to always speak to the current moment\,” says Mitch and Murray Productions’ Artistic Director\, Aaron Craven. “For years now\, I’ve been looking for a play about social media and the loneliness epidemic. Digital addiction is everywhere – we know the smartphones are fueling unhealthy habits\, but like smoking in the twentieth century\, the allure and the corporate sales tactics keep us itchy for that next dopamine hit. Harm is a beautifully intimate\, often funny\, and ultimately disturbing look at one lonely woman’s descent into obsession – one hashtag at a time.”

SUMMARY:CONCERT | MA\, Amir Amiri & Elham Menouchehri
DESCRIPTION:The project “MA” carries profound layers of meaning\, blending the Zen concept of “ma\,” the space between things\, with the Farsi word “ma\,” meaning “us.” highlights the delicate balance between sound and silence\, presence and absence\, as the tar and santur intertwine in a musical dialogue. In “MA”\, the space between notes—much like the space between people—holds meaning\, fostering a sense of connection that transcends individual expression. The music is not just a performance\, but a meditation on unity\, where “us” represents the shared creative journey of the musicians. Together they create a space where Persian tradition and contemporary expression converge\, celebrating the power of unity and the beauty found in the spaces between.

SUMMARY:Amour Courtois: Medieval Meets Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Amour Courtois is a bold and evocative musical project led by French jazz pianist Baptiste Bailly\, reimagining 14th-century French songs through the lens of contemporary improvisation. Inspired by the enduring emotional resonance of medieval melodies\, Bailly collaborates with Matthew Baker on the baryton and Efren López on the hurdy-gurdy and ouds\, crafting an anachronistic yet striking soundscape. Their repertoire – featuring works by Machaut\, Binchois\, and Lescurel – bridges centuries and highlights the timelessness of human expression. \nAmour Courtois treats medieval songs not as static artifacts but as living works. While the original melodies are respected as closely as possible\, with the aim of preserving their essence\, the musicians change the settings\, time signatures\, chords\, context\, and costumes. Improvised or newly written passages are integrated into the pieces\, like moments of intimate expression nourished by the eclecticism of their personalities and influences\, revealing a touching and spontaneous musical craftsmanship\, boundless and timeless.

SUMMARY:Empire of AI: Karen Hao in Conversation with Naomi Klein
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this timely talk where acclaimed author and journalist Karen Hao lays out the stakes of the most consequential tech arms race in history—and the role we all can play to ensure that AI benefits everyone. \nAI is transforming the world at breakneck speed and concentrating extraordinary power in the hands of a few. In the New York Times bestseller Empire of AI\, Silicon Valley engineer-turned-journalist Karen Hao draws from years of rare insider access to OpenAI and reporting across five continents. She offers a gripping look at how the accelerating AI revolution is reshaping society and concentrating economic and political power in the hands of a few companies. “The way we develop technology is now fundamentally broken\,” Hao says. “But I truly believe that we can fix it.” \nNamed one of TIME’s 100 most influential people in AI for “fundamentally shaping many people’s perceptions and understanding of the company at the center of the AI revolution\,” Hao’s work is a brilliant and deeply necessary look at the industry defining our era and what the future holds. \nFor this urgent conversation\, Hao will be joined by Naomi Klein\, the award-winning author of international bestsellers including This Changes Everything\, The Shock Doctrine\, No Logo\, and Doppelganger. Klein is an associate professor in UBC’s department of geography\, founding codirector of the Centre for Climate Justice\, and a columnist for The Guardian.
