BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
DIRECTED BY CHRIS ABRAHAM
VENUE: FESTIVAL THEATRE
MAY 3 – OCTOBER 24 | OPENS MAY 26
The Forest of Arden , reimagined in this production, sees its pastoral calm upended by the arrival of a motley cast of courtiers, fools, dukes and ladies exiled from the pitiless world of court politics and dynastic succession. The latest arrivals: Orlando, banished by his cruel older brother after their father's death, and Rosalind who, in her attempt to flee an equally cruel uncle, arrives on the scene disguised as a boy. When Orlando and Rosalind fall for one another, the question then becomes, can Orlando recognize the object of his affection through her cunning disguise and Arden's shaded vales? Beloved for its wit and banter, As You Like It promises classic Shakespearean comedy befitting of modern audiences.

"YOU'RE NEVER FULLY DRESSED WITHOUT A SMILE"
Annie has reigned as one of the world's most beloved family musicals since its original six-year Broadway run. Annie Bennett is the iconic mop-topped orphan who knows the sun will come out tomorrow for her, no matter how dark it gets today. (Even if "today" is under the domain of Miss Hannigan, the caretaker of the orphanage and an over-the-top misopedist.) When Annie and her scrappy dog, Sandy, are taken in by the secretary of the billionaire Daddy Warbucks, the girl's lifelong search to find her birth parents sets off a chain of wacky, heartwarming adventures.

ADAPTED BY KATIE HAMILL
BASED ON THE NOVEL BY JANE AUSTEN
DIRECTED BY DARYL CLORAN
MAY 28 – OCTOBER 25 | OPENS JUNE 19
Kate Hamill's adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved novel follows the travails of the Dashwood sisters—sensible, subdued Elinor and the passionately emotional Marianne—after their father's passing leaves their family dependent on the whims of wealthy relations. When suitors, both suitable and otherwise, start courting the Dashwood girls, the sisters must blend sense with sensibility to protect their hearts and their reputations. Bristling with wit, cutting social commentary and old-fashioned romance brimming with longing and tender affection, Sense and Sensibility is pure Regency Period delight.

DIRECTED BY ESTHER JUN
AUGST 6 – OCTOBER 25 | OPENS AUGUST 22
Two aristocrats in pre-Revolutionary France, bored of their own privilege and the decadence gilded to its shell, embark on a dangerous game of manipulation and seduction. The victim of their subterfuge is a beautiful young woman, Madame de Tourvel, whose virtue and piety will put the players to shame. A scandalously clever period drama, the play delivers a nasty bite, guaranteed to sting the conscience of its audiences.

DIRECTED BY ROBERT LEPAGE
VENUE: AVON THEATRE
MAY 10 – NOVEMBER 2 | OPENS MAY 28
Three witches speak a prophecy of power to an ambitious warrior. When the prophecies prove true and the bodies pile up, where lies the blame: in prophecy, fate or Macbeth's own secret desires? What alignment of stars guides the anti-hero Macbeth's bloody hand? This bold reimagining of Shakespeare's darkest tragedy by visionary director Robert Lepage sets the uncanny action during the Quebec Biker War of the 1990s.

MAY 3 – OCTOBER 25 | OPENS MAY 29
Lawrence Jameson is no stranger to the high life—he's lived it for years by separating lonely rich ladies from their fortunes in a swanky Riviera town. When he and his chief competitor in the con business, Freddy Benson, make a bet to swindle an heiress out of $50,000, the professional scoundrels soon discover they may not always be the smartest people in the room. Based on the hit 1988 film, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, the musical comedy earned 10 Tony Awards for its hilarious hijinks and frivolity—beautifully reminiscent of an earlier age.

Generations of readers have fallen in love with Lucy Maud Montgomery's timeless tale of imagination, resilience and the transformative power of love.

In this playful take on the beloved classic novel, audiences meet Anne illuminated by her signature charm and irrepressible glory—minus the show tunes!

Blinded by jealousy, King Leontes falsely accuses his pregnant wife of infidelity, setting into motion a series of catastrophes that will destroy his wife and son and leave his infant daughter abandoned to the elements on a distant island. Seeing the folly of his ways, Leontes vows to live out his days atoning for his actions. Sixteen years later, the king is offered an unlikely chance at redemption. A late play from Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale offers a beguiling blend of comedy, tragedy and mystery.

ADAPTED FROM THE BOOK FORGIVENESS: A GIFT FROM MY GRANDPARENTS BY MARK SAKAMOTO
DIRECTED BY STAFFORD ARIMA
MAY 23 – SEPTEMBER 27 | OPENS JUNE 18
Adapted from the Canada Reads-winning memoir by Mark Sakamoto, Forgiveness tells the story of two people traumatized but not broken by the Second World War. Mitsue Sakamoto and her family are sent to a civilian internment camp in the Canadian interior after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Ralph MacLean joins the Canadian army and endures years of privation in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. When the conflict ends, Mitsue and Ralph are forced to confront their long-buried anger and grief when Mitsue's son and Ralph's daughter fall in love. An emotional map across time, this story of love and family is a testament to the power of choosing forgiveness over hatred.

WORLD PREMIÈRE
AUGUST 6 – SEPTEMBER 28 | OPENS AUGUST 21
Everyone knows the story of the Trojan War: Trojan boy elopes with married Greek girl; angry husband tracks the lovers to the boy's hometown; 10 years of siege warfare later, the angry husband and his posse reduce Troy to rubble. But did it have to end that way? In Ransacking Troy, playwright Erin Shields imagines a less testosterone-fuelled conclusion, in which the women of Greece—tired of waiting for their husbands to return from war—stage an intervention of historical proportions.

"THIS WAR WILL BECOME A PART OF THE NATIONAL PSYCHE-AND WE'LL NEED A WAY TO TALK ABOUT IT."
Nick is a young Canadian artist sent to the front lines of the Second World War to capture in paint the experiences of the young nation's soldiers. Though he wears the uniform of the Canadian army, Nick is set apart from the other men by his unique role as chronicler and eyewitness to the carnage. What Nick observes—what he documents through paint—will transform not only himself, but Canada's idea of itself in the emerging postwar world.
