A Season Filled with Variety

The 2026–2027 season opens with Mean Girls The Musical, running from September 24 to 27, 2026. Based on the popular film written by Tina Fey, the musical follows teenager Cady Heron as she navigates the complicated social hierarchy of high school. Featuring energetic choreography, memorable songs and plenty of humour, the production offers a fresh take on a modern classic.

Next, audiences can enjoy Plaza Suite, presented from January 21 to 24, 2027. Written by celebrated playwright Neil Simon, this timeless comedy unfolds inside the famous Plaza Hotel in New York City. Three different stories take place in the same suite, creating a series of hilarious and heartfelt moments. The play remains one of Simon’s most enduring and beloved works.

The season concludes with Come From Away, from April 15 to 18, 2027. The award-winning Canadian musical tells the remarkable true story of the residents of Gander, Newfoundland, who welcomed thousands of stranded airline passengers following the events of September 11, 2001. Filled with uplifting music and genuine emotion, the production celebrates compassion, resilience and the power of community.
