Paint Night

Imagine Steel Magnolias with modern day issues, as six women gather for a much-needed girls’ night out. This world premiere is a hilarious and heartfelt look at mothers and daughters and the way women support each other in our unpredictable world.

2023 – 24 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 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”.
