SUMMARY:A Streetcar Named Desire
DESCRIPTION:Iconic. Essential. Electric.\nPart of Ensemble Theatre Company’s 2026 Festival: Bloodlines. \nA cornerstone of 20th Century theatre\, A Streetcar Named Desire traces the unraveling of Blanche DuBois as she arrives in New Orleans to take shelter with her sister Stella and brother-in-law Stanley. Clashing realities\, desire\, and delusion collide in this emotionally charged drama\, revealing the fragility of identity and the harshness of truth in a changing world. \nIn turbulent and uncertain times\, this iconic play could not be more prescient as we witness a family moving towards new identities and fighting for their vision of the American Dream. Tennessee Williams’ play is a portrait of a woman caught between the demons of her past and prospect of a new life. \nTalkback performance July 12 after the 2:00 pm performance.\nJoin us for brunch time performances before matinee\, July 12th\, featuring singer Violet Grace.

SUMMARY:Pippin the Musical
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of ‘spectacle and unease’ with Play On Words Productions’ gritty reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’ Pippin\, February 26th-March 7th at the Jericho Arts Centre \nSet inside a decaying nightclub suspended between life and death\, Pippin is the story of one young man’s search for the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of battle\, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power.

We recommend only those who 13+ attend. Viewer discretion is advised.
