Presented at Centaur Theatre

Get ready to see Snow White like never before. This fast-paced, physically inventive adaptation tosses the glass coffin and the damsel-in-distress tropes out the window. With just two actors playing everyone—yes, including the Queen, the Huntsman, the Prince, and all seven dwarves—this is a high-energy, shape-shifting ride through the fairy tale you thought you knew.

In this version, Snow White is not waiting around for rescue. She is sharp, curious, and fully in charge of her story. The show breaks away from old-school ideas of beauty and who gets to be the hero, reimagining Snow White as a bold, self-determined character who navigates the world with brains, courage, and a whole lot of heart.

Funny, surprising, and packed with theatrical magic, Snow White invites us to look in the mirror and ask: what if we rewrote the rules?

A field guide to dragons, grown-ups, and other impossible creatures.

Nine-year-old Rowan is on a mission: to prove that dragons are real—and maybe, just maybe, save their older sister Abbey in the process. When Rowan discovers a mysterious egg on the beach, a whirlwind of adventure begins, and an unlikely friendship forms with Margot, a shy but brilliant classmate who knows everything about birds, books, and being different. Together, they embark on a quest full of imagination, danger, and deep emotional discovery. But when the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur, Rowan must confront a truth even harder to believe than dragons: the people we love can sometimes need help we don’t know how to give. Funny, heartfelt, and brimming with childlike wonder, Beyond Belief tackles big questions with humour and empathy. It’s a story about friendship, mental health, and what it means to hold hope when things feel uncertain. With dazzling theatricality and warmth, this play invites young audiences to imagine boldly, speak honestly, and believe in the impossible.

In the gleaming, corporate-controlled superstate of the Free West, where the skies are clear and the streets are surveilled, Winston Smith knows something isn’t right. The war is over. Peace has been declared. But the truth? It’s been buried, rewritten, or deleted entirely. When Winston meets Julia, a bold, sharp-witted colleague, the two begin a dangerous journey through forbidden love, underground resistance, and the fractured memories of a world that once was. Together, they challenge a system powered by AI surveillance, media manipulation, and emotional control—risking everything to reclaim the freedom to think, to feel, and to love. 2061 is a darkly funny, gripping reimagining of Orwell’s classic that feels chillingly close to home. Set in a tech-saturated future shaped by climate collapse and government-controlled information, this play asks urgent questions about truth, autonomy, and the cost of comfort in a screen-bound world.

Celestial Bodies

By Jacob Margaret Archer

Directed by Jimmy Blais
Recommended for: Ages 12+

January 2026

Presented at Maison Théâtre

Stella, a fast-thinking (and even-faster-talking) teenager, has barely even started high school, and she’s already over it. Obviously, the best course of action is to lay low and hope that no one notices that she’s an awkward, clinically anxious space-nerd. But when that plan goes supernova and explodes, she scrambles to cope with totally normal teen challenges, like bullying, casual binge eating, and… accidentally becoming an ice hockey goalie?  Armed with supportive but questionably effective advice from her moms (a consummate peacemaker and a pep-talking former Olympian), as well as the unwavering enthusiasm of a high-energy classmate, some surprisingly astute coaching from her somewhat obtuse crush, and a good dog named Oort Cloud, can Stella find the genuine pleasure of existing in a physical body in a world that wants to shame her for the body she has?  Interrogating the way bodies are approached as a problem to be fixed, Celestial Bodies is one girl’s cosmic journey to truly owning, literally and metaphorically, the space she occupies.
