2023 – 24 Season
Welcome to our 33rd Season!
We had a great lineup of shows in 2023-24. From the World Premiere of “Paint Night” by Carey Crim to the American Premiere of “Lunenburg” by Canada’s most prolific playwright, Norm Foster. We also had secrets to share in Jenny Stafford’s “Secret Hour”, while the characters in Katie Forgette’s “Incident at Our Lady of Perpetual Help” were keeping theirs. We were excited to bring back our unique version of A Christmas Carol for the first time since the pandemic and welcomed over 3,600 students and educators to Student Matiness for “A Christmas Carol” and “Cinderella”.
