If you missed this one at the recent Toronto Fringe Festival, here’s your chance to see our oRidginators (aka Old Soles Collective) in action!This screwball comedy follows the angels Af and Barbiel as they try to figure out what truly makes a good person, and how far one would go to return a lost gloves.

This is a special one night event in support or our Summer 2026 Season, and a chance to catch one of the funniest shows at this year's Toronto Fringe Festival, right here under our tent.

The brilliant and satiric writing of Canada’s much beloved author and essayist Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) is the inspiration of this world premiere. In Sketches of Leacock, Andy Massingham brings together the myriads of eccentric characters Leacock became world-famous for. Often called “Canada’s Mark Twain,” and lauded by Groucho Marx as, “The funniest writer I have ever read”, Leacock wrote of thwarted love, bank managers, angry customers, nosy neighbours, love-struck kids (and NOT kids). They are all here for the fun and Leacock skewers them all with his razor-sharp wit.

Piggyland is an exciting new drama by Durham region playwright, Graeme Powell. Inspired by true events that took place in Sunderland, Ontario in the early 1960s, Piggyland is a tale of greed, deception and the pursuit of dreams.

Concocted by career conman John Laun, the Piggyland farm raised over a million dollars from investors eager to double, or even triple their investment. Instead, they lost it all and the mysterious John Laun vanished without a trace...and so did all the money.

Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is...
