Sinking by Brandon Hicks

Aided by a shady real estate agent, a son tries to convince his aging mother to sell her house to cash in on the wave of Upper Canadians looking for cheap seaside property. But the water rapidly rising outside the windows and filling the basement might mean that global warming has made waterfront more than just a figure of speech for the ole family homestead.

Directed by Rhett Ellis and featuring Millie Everett, Dillon Matchett, Ella Coulombe, and Alex Fullerton.

32 Short Plays About Fredericton by Gillian Salmon

Have you heard about the porn-related reason the stripes got painted on the Playhouse flytower? The time the boa constrictor got loose on the Green? The Cocaine Plane? The theft of Wilmot Church’s giant hand? Surely you know about the Coleman Frog? 32 Short Plays About Fredericton gathers all your favorite Freddy Beach lore, real and imagined, into a heady, 70s-era ball of fun, with aliens to boot.

Directed by Naomi McGowan and featuring Brennan Garnett, Brenna Gauthier, Shannon Munn, Maddax Hughson, and Gillian Salmon.
