Based on the book by Wilkie Collins

World Premiere!
This great Victorian “sensational” thriller is a compelling tale of love, betrayal, and greed. Walter Hartright’s life is changed forever after a chance midnight encounter with a mysterious woman, dressed in white, desperate to reveal her chilling secret. When he takes up his position as drawing master to the beautiful Laura Fairlie and her half sister, Marion, he sees in Laura's face an eerie reflection of the forlorn creature he previously met.

A Co-Production with Lighthouse Festival Theatre

Harry is the kind of man that sticks to his guns, no matter what the consequences. The loss of his family many years ago is just one of many life-altering changes his stubbornness has caused. Gin, an equally headstrong woman from the neighbouring farm has helped ease his pain, but the past haunts her as well. When Harry’s son, Drew, suddenly shows up after a thirteen-year estrangement, Harry must decide whether he will learn from his mistakes of make them all over again. This is a hilarious but thoughtful comedy about love, loss, and making the most of a second chance.

Starring Norm Foster as Harry.

A co-production with the Playhouse Theatre Company, Vancouver

Jhana is a beautiful, mentally handicapped eighteen-year-old who lives with her mother, Maddie, and their boarder, Bill, a poet. Jhana’s father, King, an Elvis impersonator, returns to this unusual family after a long absence that really galvanizes all the characters into action.

This is a play about the power of family and love, about self-destruction and creation. At its heart is Jhana, whose character begs the question whether the other characters, in their own ways, are any less handicapped. She’s good company, funny, driven, passionate, and yearning for the same things those around her yearn for - if they can give her the space to achieve her dreams.

Carolyn and Michel are a happily unmarried couple who enjoy the simple life and are looking forward to the birth of their first child. Her father is a prominent gynaecologist and her mother an ardent and successful hospital fundraiser, neither approve nor understand the choices their daughter has made. Carolyn has invited them to dinner for the first time in three years in the hopes that they can start anew. She is determined that nothing will go wrong and that her parents will see what a mature and capable adult she is. Of course everything does go wrong. When her labour pains start Carolyn's parents are sent into a tailspin.

“For goodness sake, go see Having Hope at Home. You'll laugh, you'll cry. You'll come out touched by the sheer joy of good theatre.” - Gary Smith, The Hamilton Spectator
