Our Past Productions
For the history majors in the crowd
Now in our fourth season, we have a number of shows behind us, both from our mainstage series, and the extra projects we've taken on in the past. Here is a small chronicle of our shows to date.
 |
May 13-22 at Studio Leonarde-Beaulne The story of Alceste, an upright gentleman who rails against the petty politics of “polite society”. But his self-righteousness doesn’t stop him from loving Célimène, the queen bee in a social colony that thrives on flattery and manipulation. Competition mounts between the drones that encircle Célimène, and lawsuit after lawsuit sets up Alceste to lose his single-handed war on indecency. |

March 18 - 27 at Arts Court Theatre Miss Julie both fascinated and repelled the audiences of its day who were shocked and titillated by its daring style that refused to cater to their comfort levels. But it is a testimony to the mastery of the writing that, although times and standards have changed, the play continues to have the power to hold audiences enthralled to this day. |

November 6 - 15 at St. Paul's-Eastern United Church A scathing, bold, raw, comic and masterful tale of the truth behind war. Mother Courage And Her Children is all this and more. It is a stirring depiction of the basic human struggle and the human need and instinct to survive through anything. |
 |
The story of two twin brothers, separated at birth, who unknowingly cross paths later in life. Later used as the basis of Shakespeare's A Comedy of Errors. |
 |
Love, misery and ennui on the Russian countryside. Unbeknownst to most - the Seagull is a comedy. |
 |
The story of the Archbishop of Canterbury, performed in Ottawa's majestic Christ Church Cathedral. |
Performed at the 2002 Ottawa Fringe Festival |
 |
The tragic tale of greed and betrayal, updated by Andrew Alexander and set in a modern business setting, breathing new life into Shakespeare's political commentary. Caesar was an ambitious endeavor to say the least, incorporating video effects with the stage performance. Visit Julius Caesar website |

What can we say about Earnest? The trivial comedy for serious people was a tremendous success, and lead to a subsequent remount that was equally successful. The reviews agreed that Earnest was a success on the stage, as well as at the box office. Guests enjoyed the freshly baked muffins served at intermission almost as much as they enjoyed the performance itself. Visit The Importance of Being Earnest website |
