Little Women

The March sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy, navigate childhood to adulthood while facing the trials of life in 1860s Massachusetts. Struggling to balance societal pressures and expectations with their own hopes and dreams, the sisters are united by the bonds of family, love and loyalty. This classic coming-of-age story, adapted for the stage by Canadian playwright Jordi Mand is a heartwarming tale filled with hope, adventure, heartbreak and love.

Based on the books Little Women & Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott

Radiant Vermin

An engaging young couple, Ollie and Jill, want to tell you about their dream home. Some of the things they did to get it, you might find shocking. But they want you to know they did it all for their baby. A wickedly comic satire about a young couple offered a “too good to be true” way onto the property ladder.

Lamentations

Juno-nominated Luminous Voices presents a moving Good Friday performance featuring powerful works by Tallis, Bach, and Howells. The program begins with Knut Nystedt’s Komm, süsser Tod, a tribute to Bach, before transitioning to Thomas Tallis’s breathtaking Lamentations of Jeremiah I.
