SUMMARY:Love (Manipulated)
DESCRIPTION:The Baldersons\, a tough-as-nails producer and her artsy director husband known for sultry low-budget sci-fi movies\, are making the leap into romantic comedy. But during rehearsal for their autobiographical love story\, they clash over the details of an alleged affair. They begin subjecting the poor actors playing them to increasingly biased recreations of the same ridiculous breakup scene\, luring the lovestruck leads into a four-way battle for truth\, validation\, and one ultimate question: who is manipulating who? \nFrom hit writer Gordon Woolvett\, Love (Manipulated) is straight from lived experience: “It is somewhat of a true story! Years ago\, I was cast in the lead role in a film whose director and producer were going through a divorce. You can imagine what being on set was like: a tempestuous couple on the edge of disaster trying to make a movie together. It was such a nightmare that I started smoking again and was up to two packs a day by the end of the shoot. I always imagined it would make a great comedy someday. The best comedy always comes from pain”. \nStarring Kristen Seer\, Victoria Souter\, Greg Rogers\, and Sam Hall\, Love (Manipulated) is a hilarious\, and heartfelt one-of-a-kind romcom that pushes the boundaries of love and heartbreak\, with more drama than a telenovela! \nThursday Sept 10 – 8:40pm\nSaturday Sept 12 – 2:30pm\nSunday Sept 13 – 9:15pm\nThursday Sept 17 – 7:00pm\nSaturday Sept 19 – 7:20pm\nSunday Sept 20 – 2:15 pm

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.
