Single Events
After a sold-out run at the 2025 Toronto Fringe Festival, where it won T.O. Live’s Best of Fringe, Things My Dad Kept by Ronit Rubenstein will receive its West Coast Premiere at this year’s Chutzpah!
A few years ago, playwright and performer Ronit Rubinstein helped her mom clean out the family home. This meant going through her father’s office, a space barely touched in the decade following his death from cancer in 2012.
Things My Dad Kept is a deeply personal piece about her relationship with her father Mordechai, a Holocaust survivor, and how she learned more about him while looking through the items and memories he kept in a filing cabinet drawer.
This performance is presented as a Relaxed Performance. Some house lights will remain on throughout the show, volume levels are slightly lowered, and the audience can leave and re-enter as needed.
Event Summary: A hilarious, irreverent, and moving solo show about her dead dad, the
unexpected ways grief evolves, and the wildly impractical ways we show love. Production Company Name: Chutzpah! Festival. Event Dates and Times: November 4

Single Events
How do you place a price on stolen childhoods? COM·PLIC·IT exposes the stark divide between official institutional "reconciliation" and the raw, lived reality of trauma.
This production is a powerful, transcendent meditation on historical trauma, the moral weight of silence, and the unbreakable spirit of survival.
Told through intertwined timelines, the play contrasts the sterile reality of present-day financial reparation claims with a chilling 1965 Manitoba winter, where ordinary citizens become active participants in state-sanctioned assimilation.
Event Summary: Raven befriends a teenage Prairie boy, and together they explore how and why their paths are crossing. This unusual encounter gives rise to a mutual understanding, where forgiveness becomes the cost for hope. One tale woven from the many found in the National Archives, and in the end only skims the surface of the Residential School era, circa 1960. Production Company Name: Youtheatre Movement Society.

Single Events
Yankl and the Beanstalk is the Jewish pantomime you’ve been waiting for.
Yankl and the Beanstalk takes audiences to the Jewish immigrant communities of East London in the 1890s, into the Daisy Pickle workshop. Our protagonist Yankl finds himself in a bit of a pickle as his cousin Milly wants them to go on strike against the greedy Lady Mayfair and Giant. With his Bar Mitzva just days away, Yankl needs to work on his parasha, help his cousin try to improve their working conditions, and not get in a pickle, all while his lustful mother is looking for someone new to be her date. With the help of some magic beans, a pickle fairy, and some popular songs translated into Yiddish, this duo will find a way to stop the Giant and seize the means of production.
Yankl will be performed twice at the festival, once for an all-ages audience and once for adults only. This hilariously queer Jewish panto is a saucy delight, full of jokes that will delight everyone.
Event Summary: In this hilarious pantomime, with the help of some magic beans, a pickle fairy, and some popular songs translated into Yiddish, Yankl and Milly will do everything they can to stop the greedy Lady Mayfair and Giant to save the day.

JAKE'S GIFT, Presented by Juno Productions
By Julia Mackey
ABOUT THE SHOW
Jake’s Gift is a multi-award winning play about a Canadian WW2 veteran’s reluctant return to Juno Beach for the 60th Anniversary of D-Day.
While revisiting the shores of Juno beach, Jake encounters Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village. Isabelle’s inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts – most notably the war-time death of his eldest brother, Chester, a once promising young musician. At its heart, Jake’s Gift is about the legacy of remembrance and makes personal the story behind one soldier’s grave.

HAIR HAIR EVERYWHERE, A Semi-Staged Presentation, By Sarv Star
ABOUT THE SHOW
Hair Hair Everywhere is a bold and heartfelt multigenerational play about a young queer Persian femme exploring her relationship with body hair through the lenses of culture, gender, family, and identity. Caught between personal desire and inherited beauty standards, she begins a journey toward understanding and self-acceptance.
Guided by her eyelash—mojeh—a gentle and mystical presence, she enters a surreal world where her body hair begins to speak. One by one, she hears her hair: her head hair, armpit hair, leg hair, and pubic hair, each representing a different part of her being.
Blending traditional rituals with imagined ones, the play creates a rich, sensory landscape where healing, storytelling, and embodiment intertwine. Through these ritual spaces, she not only learns to listen to herself, but also begins to recognize the echoes of her maternal lineage within her.
Her journey deepens when she meets a hairy ancestor…
