We are a month away from opening “The Woman in Black”! [From our Facebook feed... occasionally information on social media may be more current or dated relative to this site.]

We are a month away from opening "The Woman in Black"! You still have time to grab seasons tickets (save yourself 20%) or purchase for this spooky, creepy, Halloween thriller.

It is also time to meet our incredible cast and crew. Without them, this show wouldn't be possible.

Please help me welcome Stephen Elcheshen who is playing "Voice Actor" and our understudy for our 2 main roles!

Stephen is a Hydrostatic Recertification Technician by day and theatre geek by night. As one of the founding producers of Shadows And Dreams Theatre Co, he can be found in the bandshell at Queen's Park every summer showing off his Shakespeare. Recent roles include Jaques in As You Like It (S&D) Arthur, Sir Bors, and half the other characters in Spamalot (White Rock), and Wooster in Jeeves Intervenes (G7). When not on stage, he is often called upon as a Fight Choreographer, recently having worked on The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery (RCTC), Tale of Two Cities (Gallery7), and We Are The Body (Pacific Theatre). As always, he'd like to thank his family for their love and support.

Please help me welcome Sarah Maguire who is playing "Voice Actor"!

Sarah Maguire is a celebrated actress renowned for her dynamic and captivating performances, which have earned her widespread recognition and critical acclaim. Growing up in the coastal city of Townsville, Sarah first excelled as a competitive runner and artistic gymnast before discovering her passion for acting. She refined her craft at Sydney Theatre School through their intensive three-year Acting for Stage and Screen program.
Sarah toured internationally with a sketch comedy show, performing to sold-out audiences at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Her exceptional work in the graduating show caught the attention of Romanian puppet master Maddy Slabacu, who recruited Sarah to Horizon Theatre. At Horizon Theatre, Sarah expanded her skills by performing and touring with hand puppets, body puppets, and marionettes.
Sarah has delivered unforgettable performances in a wide range of roles, including the leading role of Susie Salmon in the Australian premiere of The Lovely Bones, in which her work earned critical acclaim. During the pandemic, she created magic for audiences as a special effects performer at Universal Studios Japan. With her impressive range of work across both screen and stage, Sarah stands out as a powerhouse in the entertainment industry. The Woman in Black marks Sarah’s debut with The Royal Canadian Theatre Company.

Don’t miss the Relaxed Performance at 7:30 pm on November 2nd at the Anvil Centre presented in partnership with the Massey Theatre Society.

Arthur Kipps hires a skeptical young actor to help him recount his terrifying story and rid himself of the fear that tortures him daily. This story unfolds during the funeral of an elderly recluse, where Arthur sees the Woman in Black: A mysterious, ethereal, wraithlike creature creating an atmosphere of foreboding, ominousness and mystery wherever she goes. Her spectral grace and piercing eyes mesmerize and terrify the locals, the mere mention of her frightens them. Audiences are invited to witness Arthur's journey as he overcomes his tantalizing fears. As you delve deeper into Kipps' darkest memories and fears, the line between reality and make-believe blurs. Will they manage to exorcise the fear gripping Kipps' soul? This show is suitable for children 12 years and older.
