We are thrilled to announce the premiere of a new workshop presentation from 2025 Pulitzer and Tony award-winning playwright, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins. Following our memorable productions of his plays An Octoroon (2017) and Everybody (2022), we asked Branden to come and make a new work with our Shaw Ensemble. This workshop presentation, from one of the world’s leading playwrights, will have a limited run of presentations. See it before anyone else does!

A New Work in Progress

Court House Theatre

Antonio Salieri is a pious, conscientious man—and the greatest composer in the Austrian Empire. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a young, foolish show-off—and apparently no threat. Except that Salieri can hear what no one else can: this ridiculous boy is perhaps the greatest musical genius ever to have lived. How can God have played such a trick on Salieri? To reward his devotion by rubbing his nose in his own mediocrity? There is only one possible revenge: God’s beloved, Amadeus, must be destroyed. This story of genius and the price it extracts is one of the greatest and most ravishing experiences in theatrical history.

Amadeus

Festival Theatre

Step inside the wonderfully wacky world of Robert Munsch – Canada’s best-loved children’s author! Jam-packed with joy, this whimsical award-winning adaptation brings to life five modern classics: Mortimer; The Paper Bag Princess; Murmel, Murmel, Murmel; Zoom!; and Love You Forever. Prepare yourself for delightfully noisy bedtimes and a blowhard dragon leaping from the page to the stage! Whether it’s your first Munsch adventure or a nostalgic return, the whole family will love this celebration of childhood – from its funny frustrations to the unbreakable bonds we share with the ones we love most.
