Wildwoman

Single Events In Wildwoman, we follow the story of Catherine de Medici, the young newlywed of King Henry II of France, who thinks her life at court will be a fascinating forum of political discourse. Instead, the palace is a cruel and disturbing place where her singular function is to be a baby-making machine for male heirs. Even the other women at her side, a scheming lady-in-waiting and the king’s power-hungry mistress, seem to mostly fend for themselves. The only kinship she finds is with the paperback-romance hot, head-to-toe hair wildman kept in the dungeon as one of the king’s collection of caged oddities. His friendly and feral presence gradually awakens Catherine’s own wild side, and once she unleashes it, no one is safe from her vengeful wrath. Based on the shocking true story that inspired Beauty and the Beast, Kat Sandler brings her trademark rapid-fire wit to this salacious saga of an infamous bad girl who could not be tamed.

Canadian Psycho

Single Events The Firehall Arts Centre presents the world premiere of Canadian Psycho this spring from Tuesday, March 31 to Sunday, April 12, 2026.

There’s only one way to change that… Blending original electronic music, dynamic movement and striking video design, this satirical solo show, produced by Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre (vAct) and ITSAZOO Productions, is a provocative takedown of the model minority myth and an unhinged interrogation of who gets to be seen, centered, and mythologized.

A Few Good Men

Single Events A US Marine stationed in Guantanamo Bay is dead, the result of a disciplinary action gone terribly wrong. Two upstanding soldiers are accused of his murder. A Navy lawyer, Lt. Kaffee, with a history of negotiating plea bargains and a distracting passion for baseball, is tasked to defend the accused. As Kaffee and his litigation team dig further into the case, a lurid cover-up is revealed and Kaffee is forced to put his career on the line and stand up for the truth.

La Convivialité

Single Events It all begins with a dictation. For some, an ordeal. For others, a chance to shine. Fortunately, this dictation is not marked. Then comes the confusion: why does “redcurrants” require an “s” in French for the jam, but not for the jelly? Had you noticed that the verb “alourdir” meaning “to burden” is written with a single ‘l’ while “alléger” “to lighten” takes two? A technical tool disguised as a marker of prestige, institutionalized spelling unleashes passions and bolsters the powerful. But maybe this is all a huge misunderstanding. Led by a duo of linguists who joyfully make light of this weighted debate, this pop and subversive show shakes up the dogmas surrounding written norms… and with them, centuries of status quo. By deconstructing their arbitrary origins and fascinating absurdities, La Convivialité profanes the sacro-saint rules, and questions our strange persistence in attempting to comply. Presented in French only. Event Summary: It all begins with a dictation. For some, an ordeal. For others, a chance to shine. Fortunately, this dictation is not marked.

Kevin

Single Events A high school geography class. Despite the teacher’s explanations, Kevin is unable to sort out his map based on the cardinal points drawn on the whiteboard. His teachers are at a loss: why can’t this student grasp such a basic lesson? Twenty years later, this failure marks the beginning of a series of investigations into educational success and equal opportunity. Following their small French spelling revolution (La Convivialité), Arnaud Hoedt and Jérôme Piron take on school. Slyly casual and deliciously facetious, the two former teachers point fingers at the flaws of a multi-tiered education system. A light-hearted lecture, this playful show-slash-conference unpacks the workings of an invisible selection process that favours students with the right academic background from the outset… and leaves the others by the wayside. Event Summary: In this slyly casual and deliciously facetious performance-conference, two former teachers take on school.

Like a star born in the heart of a nebula, this tiny life, barely beginning, turns the expansive world around it upside down.

The Producers

Single Events Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks' classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humour. It is a truly "boffo" hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards and wows crowds night after night. The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men… Event Summary: A scheming producer and his mousy accountant aim to produce the biggest flop on Broadway in Mel Brooks' laugh-out-loud spectacle. Type of Event: Theatre Production. Production Company Name: Theatre in the Country.
