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. Dark\, raw\, and reckless\, this production is a haunting exploration of purpose and desire\, leaving the audience to wonder: would they choose the fire\, or walk away? \nCONTENT ADVISORY: This show includes mature themes\, sexual suggestion\, dramatized violence\, and sensory elements (lighting and sound). We recommend only those who 13+ attend. Viewer discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:Peerless
DESCRIPTION:Hilarious. Magnetic. Unhinged.\nPart of Ensemble Theatre Company’s 2026 Festival: Bloodlines. \nPeerless follows twin sisters M and L as they spiral through the absurd\, high-pressure theatre of elite college admissions. What begins as ambition curdles into obsession\, with every choice landing somewhere between strategy and disaster. Fast\, viciously funny\, and relentlessly watchable! \nEntertainment at its sharpest: ruthless\, funny\, and impossible to look away from. \nIn a moment when debates around affirmative action and “merit” continue to be reshaped and weaponised in public discourse\, Peerless cuts through with a bracing clarity: the stories we tell about fairness are not neutral: they’re constructed\, repeated\, and believed until they feel like fact. The play skewers those narratives with a comedian’s precision and a thriller’s momentum\, exposing how quickly “meritocracy” becomes myth-making. \nTalkback on July 15 after the 7:30 pm performance.\nJoin us for a brunch time performance before the matinee\, July 19th\, featuring Fistful of Crime Improv.

SUMMARY:When Railways Were Highways: Remembering Jim Wong-Chu's Legacy
DESCRIPTION:This panel brings together writers whose creative lives were shaped by the mentorship\, advocacy\, and generosity of Jim Wong-Chu. \nFeaturing: Evelyn Lau\, Yasuko Thanh\, Jessica Gin-Jade Chan\, moderated by Julia Lin \nThis panel brings together writers whose creative lives were shaped by the mentorship\, advocacy\, and generosity of Jim Wong-Chu\, who is a foundational figure in Asian Canadian literature and cultural organizing. Long before Asian Canadian writing was institutionally recognized\, Jim and the pioneers of his generation built pathways where none existed\, transforming railways\, symbols of exclusion and labour\, into highways of connection\, storytelling\, and belonging. \nThis panel of writers reflect on how Jim nurtured emerging voices\, insisted on the importance of community over individual acclaim\, and modelled a literary practice rooted in care and cultural memory. Through personal stories\, reflections on mentorship\, and discussions of their artistic lineage\, this conversation honours Jim’s belief that writing is not only an act of expression but also a responsibility to the history and community of those who come after. \nThe panel invites audiences to consider how mentorship can be a form of resistance and how literary communities are built.
