Award-winning playwright Erin Shields has crafted three thought-provoking plays that centre on the inner lives of women, offering space for those who dare to listen. Featuring Beautiful Man, Unit B-1717, and And then there was you.

Refractions: Scenes
Refractions: Scenes is a collection of scenes from diverse contemporary works by Canadian playwrights that reflect the country's artistic landscape through a breadth of themes, styles, cultures, regions, and creative practices.

Theory
In this thrilling exploration of the intersections and divisions within liberalism, a young professor finds herself in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse.

Bare Bear Bones
In an effort to rekindle their spark, empty nesters Norm and Ruth book a trip to a familiar family campground, only to realize that it's now a nudist camp.

ASL Interpretation and a written compilation of the excerpts read will be provided.
