NEW MAGIC VALLEY FUN TOWN
by Daniel MacIvor Sun Mar 26, 2023, 7:30 pm One of Canada’s greatest playwrights brings us a remarkable new work. On Cape Breton Island, best friends from childhood reunite after 25 years apart for a night of drinking, laughing, and sharing old memories--but some of those memories aren’t easily washed away. Funny, sad and ultimately hope-filled, this is a play about the long shadow of childhood trauma, and coming to terms with the person you've grown up to become. Destined to be a Canadian classic. Featuring: Shawn Wright, Beau Dixon, Linda Kash, and Peyton LeBarr A staged reading at Market Hall, 140 Charlotte St. * The participation of all of these artists is arranged by permission of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association under the provisions of the Dance-Opera-Theatre Policy. |

SWEAT
by Lynn Nottage Sun June 11, 2023, 7:30 pm Winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize. A chilling and timely play about a group of colleagues whose fortunes decline between 2000 and the 2008 financial crisis.

Content Advisory: This play contains themes of racism and uses words that are offensive and demeaning, including the n-word.
