We're so happy to hear that Come From Away has found a new home, and thus the show goes on (as shows must)! How fitting for that show, of all shows , and that it it be rescued from disaster by an unplanned stay in an unexpected space! ❤️❤️❤️

🎭 THE LIGHTS ARE BACK ON.

A few weeks ago, our friends at Suzart Productions suddenly found themselves without a theatre for Come From Away.

The loss of their venue also meant losing 4,000 ticket sales and having to start again almost from scratch.

But the show will go on. ❤️

Suzart has found a new home at De La Salle High School, and in just a few weeks the stage will be lit, the audience will be seated and Come From Away will finally open.

Now they need our theatre community to help fill those seats again.

🎟️ Tickets are available at suzart.ca

Let’s help them turn every one of those lights back into an audience member.

Plosive is proud to announce the cast of its fall production of Constant Companions! Master of wit, Sir Alan Ayckbourn is at it again, this time transporting us into the not-so-distant future when AI bots are widespread. Hilariously entertaining while also thought provoking, this show is so new that Plosive reserved the rights before it’s been published! Check it out at The Gladstone Theatre Sept 30-Oct 11!

Got plans for tomorrow night? Now you do! Plosive's dynamic duo of David Whiteley and Vivian Burns (both featured in our last show, Private Fears in Public Places) are joining with the Gladstone's other resident companies and frequent collaborators to offer you Songs for a Winter's Night: A Solstice Fundraiser for the Gladstone at The Gladstone tomorrow evening at 7:30!

Vivian is reprising a past role as one of the Gladstone Sisters from our beloved annual Radio Shows. David, meanwhile, will share that quintessential Canadian Christmas story, "Dave Cooks the Turkey" and will also dust off his violin, viola and cello for the occasion. They join with other actors and singers you may know and love: Nicholas Amott, Rachel Eugster, Robin Guy, Andrew Mah, Scott Richardson, and Doreen Taylor-Claxton, hosted by the indefatigable Teri Loretto. Together we're offering a wide array of songs, stories, and poetry, to make the season a little warmer—and to raise funds for the Gladstone.

Read more about the event (and buy tickets) at https://thegladstone.ca/shows/songs-for-a-winters-night/. We hope to see you there!
