If Only
"If Only is a story depicting the destruction caused by substance abuse among teenagers. Johnny is a young man who has everything going for him but loses it all (unless you use the alternate ending)." - from the publisher
Nora : A Doll's House
Nora is the perfect wife and mother. She is dutiful, beautiful and everything is always in its right place. But when a secret from her past comes back to haunt her, her life rapidly unravels. Over the course of three days, Nora must fight to protect herself and her family or risk losing everything. Henrik Ibsen's brutal portrayal of womanhood caused outrage when it was first performed in 1879. This bold new version by Stef Smith reframes the drama in three different time periods. The fight for women's suffrage, the Swinging Sixties and the modern day intertwine in this urgent, poetic play that asks how far have we really come in the past hundred years?

Historical
Faith, Hope and CHARLIE
"This play is based on the true life of Indigenous WW2 Hero Tommy Prince in a fictional bank robbery. Set in the early 50's before universal health care, Tommy needs to raise $5,000 to get his son a life saving surgery. Left with few options he decides to rob a bank. The problem is, even with his military background, he cares about people to much to see them get hurt and when the bank doesn't have $5,000 in cash things really get complicated. The bank manager Charlie also wants to make sure no one gets hurt and while Chief of police Leland "Barbarian" Barber raises the stakes outside the bank, Charlie goes to work trying to outsmart them all. A funny, heartfelt comedy that entertains while gently examining what could have been, had Tommy Price come home to the heroes welcome he deserved after the war." - from the publisher
