The Merry Wives of Windsor
At Bard on the Beach to September 19, 2026
I love Bard on the Beach. I do. I really do. And I appreciate how hard it must be to come up with a fresh take on Shakespeare’s four-hundred-year-old plays. But this Merry Wives, adapted by Bruce Horak with Rebecca Northan and directed by Northan, is beyond the pale.

Come From Away
Stanley BFL CANADA stage to August 15, 2026
With Trump trumpeting – again – about Canada as the 51st state, the time is right for the Arts Club production of Come From Away. A homegrown musical with book, music and lyrics by Canadians Irene Sankoff and David Hein, it’s a feel-good musical that celebrates what we think of as Canadian values.

Arms and the Man
Jericho Arts Centre to June 21, 2026
George Bernard Shaw is considered by some to be the greatest English-language dramatist second only to Shakespeare and yet his plays are produced relatively infrequently. Why is that?
