The Very Book Indeed
"It is 1621. Shakespeare’s been dead for seven years. Two passionate thespians struggle to assemble and print the First Folio, the original anthology of Shakespeare’s plays. In this referential work, pinnacle scenes from Shakespearean classics, including As You Like It, Macbeth, and King Lear, are woven into the birth of the First Folio with charm, wit, and misadventure."

Saint Joan of The Stockyards
"Embark on an epic journey into the heart of capitalism, philanthropy, and the struggle for solidarity. Follow Joan Dark, a compassionate soul who strives to do good, Mauler the Meat King, a ruthless businessman who wants out of the market, and a group of starving workers organizing for their rights. This brand-new adaptation connects Brecht to our current reality, urging us to examine our aspirations to do good and the missed opportunities for cooperation in difficult times."

TomorrowLove
"A collection of intertwined playlets set in a near-future world where technological innovations and human connection collide. An office-worker catfishes a colleague with a new dating app, a couple craft avatars to fulfil their bedroom fantasies, and thousands have opted for the same face transplant in the hopes of achieving success. Both poignant and witty, TomorrowLove is a riveting exploration of love in the age of algorithms and beyond.
Out of Rosamund Small’s collection of fifteen playlets, we have selected six to share: Office Friends, Tell Me You Hate Me, Perfect, Reeseman, Eight Legs Two Hearts, Take This Soul." Learn more at the UBC link on this page.

Concord Floral
"Concord Floral, a vast and eerie abandoned greenhouse, serves as a clandestine hangout for neighbourhood teens. Here, they throw parties, build friendships and identities, and establish hierarchies amidst discarded furniture and urban wildlife. However, when a secret buried under the floorboards is uncovered, the teens are compelled to confront something they’d rather ignore. Award-winning Canadian playwright Jordan Tannahill has crafted a suspenseful and stylishly structured play that delves into the complexities of adolescence." Learn more at the UBC link on this page.

The Birds
"Two humans seeking freedom and a better way of life travel to the land of the birds in this irreverent adaptation of Aristophanes’ classic comedy. While one has little regard for the land’s occupants and sets about constructing their own utopian “paradise”, the other begins to listen and respond to the birds with openness and curiosity. Unravelling typical notions of form and the colonial narrative, The Birds reflects on pressing contemporary issues of colonialism and reconciliation." Learn more at the UBC link on this page.
The Wolves
"Squats, jumping jacks, lunges, repeat! The Wolves Junior Girls’ Soccer Team train at the air dome every Saturday morning without fail. As they warm up they chat about everything from world events to menstrual cycles, navigating the joys and complexities of being part of a pack. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, The Wolves is a celebration of female adolescence at its most chaotic and buoyant." Learn more at the UBC link on this page.
