Lysistrata by Aristophanes
Directed by Virginia Francisco '64
Only 25 centuries ago, Athens' great comic poet proposed one hilarious solution
to two formidable problems: women's life role -- and war. Aristophanes' idea
could work today, headed by a woman with Lysistrata's creativity, discipline,
and skill in building coalitions. Every woman should see this play -- and bring
a couple of guys. Not suitable for young children.

The Vic by Leanna Brodie
Directed by Clinton Johnston
A teenager confesses in her video blog: a mother and daughter try to care for
the younger daughter after her escape form a cult; a bookish student struggles
to hold a job; and a young film maker faces her idol ... for better or worse.
Playwright Leanna Brodie deftly examines the roles of "victim" and "victimizer" in
the lives of eight women in modern day Canada. Movies and cop shows talk about "the
perp" -- what about "The Vic?"

Directed by Frank Southerington
His name is John Wellington Wells. He's a dealer in magic and spells. But when
he spikes the villagers' tea with a love potion the results are disastrous
... and great fun. The Sorcerer is classic G&S.

Honour by Joanna Murray-Smith
Directed by Terry Southerington '72
Honor and George are a happy middle-aged literary couple until a young, hero-worshipper
makes them question their shared values and security. How will their understanding
of self-sufficiency, love, loyalty, and honour, affect all their lives?
