SUMMARY:Spying on America: A Book Launch with Bill Gaston
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a warm and funny evening with Bill Gaston\, author of the new “fascinating road trip” book\, Spying on America. Will Ferguson describes it as “a journey through the looking glass into that torqued version of Canada we call the United States.” \nOn a June morning in 2022\, Bill Gaston drives off the Victoria–Port Angeles ferry in a rented Dodge Charger with his two sons. Born in the U.S. but “Canadian through and through\,” Gaston is on a road trip to Tabor\, Iowa\, the town founded by his great\, great\, great-grandparents as the westernmost hub of the Underground Railroad. \nThe Gastons’ 11-day trip to Tabor and back takes them up and down and across a swathe of rural red states. Motivated equally by a curiosity to find out what really makes Americans tick and the motto ya gotta stop\, the Gastons explore the American west\, navigate unmapped dirt roads\, eat too many French fries\, overnight in clapped-out motels\, visit a Buddhist mountain monastery\, marvel at spectacular landforms\, and enjoy unlikely conversations with real Americans. \nBoth a sideways glance at contemporary American culture and a mordant yet tender account of the true meaning of ancestry\, Spying on America is an unpredictably insightful exploration of family\, Canada’s neighbour\, and the “American bald ego.” \nThis event is free\, but please register here as capacity is limited. Books will be on hand for sale and signing!

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.
