Enemy Lines

Single Events The Firehall Arts Centre concludes its ELBOWS UP – Made in Canada season, an inspiring and successful celebration of bold Canadian voices and storytelling, with Mayumi Lashbrook’s Enemy Lines from Wednesday, May 6 to Saturday, May 9, 2026. Enemy Lines is a live dance performance that looks at how a climate of fear led to the incarceration of Japanese Canadians. Held by curiosity, choreographer Mayumi Lashbrook looks back at the actions taken against her family during World War II. Suddenly deemed a threat after the Pearl Harbour attack in 1941, over 22,000 Canadians of Japanese descent were forcibly removed from the coastline of British Columbia – their lives forever altered. Lashbrook seeks to understand these events in Canadian history and the hold it has had on her life. Her work illuminates the cycles of fear-based oppression and intolerant thinking that still afflicts us today. In Enemy Lines, she elucidates our hardwired need for each other, and the way that disconnection can hinder our growth.

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. Aaron Sorkin’s ground-breaking debut play was a Broadway hit when it premiered back in 1989 and was adapted into the Academy-Award nominated film starring Tom Cruise & Demi Moore.

I AM 108

Single Events This performance is a Drag Queen Storytelling Time show featuring Juanita Bang Bang, a campy comedy queen who explores Paraguay's infamous number 108.

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.

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.
