Upcoming Shows

The Can-Am One-Act Play Festival

Warren By Gideon Heath

Warren is a tender, character-driven drama about aging, autonomy, and the fragile beauty of human connection. Facing the end of his life, Warren chooses to meet death on his own terms — a decision that ripples through the lives of his estranged daughter, his lifelong friend, and a young waitress whose warmth and resilience offer unexpected grace.
Told with quiet humor and emotional honesty, the play explores faith, family, dignity, and forgiveness, building toward a deeply moving reconciliation that affirms love even in farewell. Warren is an intimate story about choosing presence over fear — and finding meaning in the moments that remain.

​Bad Auditions by Bad Actors by Ian McWethy

A casting director has one day to find the leads for a community theatre production of Romeo and Juliet. But what seems like a simple task proves impossible when the pool of actors includes extreme method actors, performers who just don’t know what to do with their hands and one particular woman who may or may not think she’s a cat. This hilarious comedy will bring you to the last place you’d ever want to be... behind the doors of a casting session.
