What's on at the Playhouse
Grease
- JUN 30 – AUG 15
- Springer Theatre
It’s Rydell High in 1959! After falling in love over the summer, Danny and Sandy are shocked to find themselves at the same school for their senior year. When Danny’s cool-guy image collides with Sandy’s sweetness, their love story gets caught between peer pressure, Pink Ladies, and the roar of hot rods. Grease has the gum-snapping, hip-shaking music, style and spirit of an era that never goes out of fashion.
The Last Five Years
- AUG 4 – AUG 30
- Firehall Theatre
Jamie, a rising novelist, and Cathy, an aspiring actress, share a five-year love story told from opposite perspectives. As Jamie races toward the future and Cathy reaches into the past, their timelines collide in the middle, at the single moment they both cherish. Set against the energy of New York City, The Last Five Years is a deeply intimate musical that captures the dizzying joy of falling in love and the quiet ache of letting go.
Murder at Ackerton Manor
- AUG 25 – SEPT 13
- Springer Theatre
There’s trouble at Ackerton Manor. On a stormy night, the loathsome Roger Ackerton meets an untimely end, leaving behind a body, a missing diamond, and a house full of suspects with more secrets than sense. Enter the ever-dramatic Detective Pierre Pierrot, who must untangle the lies before the killer strikes again. Murder at Ackerton Manor is a fun-loving spoof of Agatha Christie murder mysteries, where plot twists and mistaken identities make for a raucous night in the English Countryside.
Wonderful Joe
- SEPT 10 – OCT 4
- Firehall Theatre
Joe and his dog Mister lose their home, and facing separation, head into the world for one last adventure together. The world seems broken, but Joe sees magic in the mundane, beauty amidst brutality, and life in the lost and lonely. Along their fantastical journey Joe and Mister encounter Mother Nature, Santa Claus, Jesus, the Tooth Fairy and more. A seemingly simple tale of a simple man, Wonderful Joe is a love letter to imagination, hope, and the art of filling broken hearts with gold. Ronnie Burkett brings this story to life with his signature style of beautiful puppetry.

Come from Away
- SEPT 22 - NOV 1
- Firehall Theatre
38 planes. 7,000 passengers. One small town. Come From Away is based on the remarkable real-life events following 9/11, when thousands of travellers were diverted to Gander, Newfoundland. As fear gripped the world, the people of Gander opened their arms. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness became trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into lasting friendships. This Tony Award-winning musical is a celebration of small-town kindness and the power of everyday people.
Women of the Fur Trade
- MAY 1 - MAY 24
- Firehall Theatre
Three women sit trapped together in a frontier fort: a Métis dreamer scribbling flirtatious letters to Louis Riel, a savvy Ojibwe trapper skeptical of rebellion, and a British settler worried about her absent husband. As they sip tea, banter, and weigh the fate of a budding resistance, they twist history into something fresh, fierce, and funny. This is satire with teeth. Women of the Fur Trade reminds us that the women at the edges of history were never bystanders.
Sugar Road
- MAY 22 – JUN 14
- Springer Theatre
Hannah Taylor has poured her heart into keeping her family’s amusement park, Sugar Road, alive. Years ago, she shared a single, unforgettable night there with Jesse Emberley before fame carried him away. Now Jesse returns, headlining the Spurs and Hearts Music Festival at the park, and the past comes rushing back. Sugar Road is a heartfelt story about the one that got away, and the sweet surprises life delivers when you least expect them.
Special Presentation:
