Serving Elizabeth by Marcia Johnson New Stages concludes our 2024-25 season with a delightful staged reading of Serving Elizabeth by Marcia Johnson. Inspired by--and in direct opposition to--an episode in the Netflix series The Crown, Serving Elizabeth re-imagines from a Kenyan perspective the story of when a young Princess Elizabeth visits Kenya and learns that she has become Queen of England. A crowd-pleasing, thought-provoking hit at the Stratford Festival, Serving Elizabeth is all about our fascination with the royals, the impacts of colonialism, and the unseen biases that influence how stories are told today. Recommended audience: 12+ Presented by: Arising Collective and Central Smith |

Vitals by Rosamund Small An enhanced staged reading of the multiple-award-winning drama comes to Peterborough! Vitals is the unforgettable story of Anna, a no-nonsense paramedic in Toronto who reaches her breaking point. Based on in-depth interviews with EMS workers, Vitals is masterfully written, and anchored by an incredible performance from Katherine Cullen who originated the role in Toronto. Vitals has been widely praised by paramedics and other first responders for offering civilian audiences a real glimpse into the life of an EMS worker, and the unseen toll the work can take on the people we count on to save our lives. Tickets: $32 regular price ($16 for EMS workers, students, arts workers, and under-employed) Content advisory: Vitals contains intense scenes, themes of suicide, and coarse language. Not for children. Presented by: Sandbagger Hard Seltzer and Peterborough Optometric |
