PRODUCTIONS AT CENTAUR THEATRE:

Adventures
February 25 – March 1, 2025 at Centaur Theatre
An Imago Theatre and Keep Good (Theatre) Company Collaboration

Be carried away in a story that is for the hopeful and the hopeless. Part fairy tale, part gritty-real-life story, Adventures invites us to the roots of the Mother Tree in this time of collective grief, to witness PJ and Wendy on the edge of a life-altering moment. This story poses the question, “Am I a good enough person to bring a child into this big, sad and beautiful world?”

Resurrection 
March 11- March 15, 2025 at Centaur Theatre

Resurrection is the real story of Michael Callen—activist, musician, and leader in the AIDS self-empowerment movement. Based on the hit CBC podcast of the same name, the show is part cabaret, part documentary theory, part live podcast event.

GALLERY PERFORMANCE:

On What Ground
March 7-8, 2025 at Centaur Theatre

An Other Hearts Collective presentation
Written by Other Hearts… and the audience

For a society that is increasingly realizing the critical importance of place and environment, On What Ground is an exploration of the ways that we find, make, and leave the places that define us.

WINTERWORKS READING:

​Bud <3 
March 2, 2025 at Centaur Theatre
A creative, clever and heartfelt theatre for young audiences play that brings together grief and horticulture, Bud <3 is an object puppetry piece exploring the rituals around caring for houseplants and our loved ones through infancy, through life, and in death.

PRODUCTIONS AT LA CHAPELLE SCÈNES CONTEMPORAINES:

Conte Bright Comme Un Diamond
February 17, 18, 20, 22 at La Chapelle

Conte bright comme un diamond is based on an Acadian folktale that is several centuries old, presented in Chiac in a contemporary form by Fano Maddix. This show is an invitation to be touched by tradition. This is original folklore: we’ve kept the true medieval twists of the story, with its grandma fairy vibes, flying islands, and magical sex work. Because folklore doesn’t care what anyone says: it knows it’s glorious, timeless, and queer.

For Everyone Stuck Chasing The Clock
March 3, 4, 6, and 7, 2025 at La Chapelle

Between visual art and performance, four characters live in a spatiotemporal loop created by the limitations of their shared chronic illness. Half-resigned yet still filled with hope, they find
meaning and purpose by putting on a show about their lived experience.
