Fans of Monty Python, Mr. Bean, and Dr. Seuss… Grab your teacups!
Combining British propriety with an unabashed love for the unexpected, London’s 3-time Impresario Award-winning duo steep an outrageously funny and brilliantly inventive show reminiscent of classic British pantos.
Rich in wordplay, comic physicality, and cleverly crafted interactive elements, O Christmas Tea is uproarious fun, yet it is the duo’s boundless imagination and endearing chemistry that provide the real magic and heart of this play.
When catastrophe strikes at James and Jamesy’s Christmas tea party, flooding the world with tea, the duo conjure wildly funny solutions to stay afloat, and sweep the audience out to sea in a jolly aquatic escapade brimming with whimsy, action, and ingenuity in a celebration of friendship at Christmas.

“I cannot think of a show that will leave you more profoundly happy than this.”★★★★★ Stage Door

A must-see performance on the international comedy circuit, this unstoppable duo is regarded as “one of the most popular fringe duos ever” (CBC).

William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of his most beloved comedies. Four Athenians find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. It is a lighthearted, humourous and fun tale of love and, often misguided, magic set in motion by the mischievous trickster Puck. The ballet adaptation is set to Mendelssohn’s 1827 concert overture and 1843 instrumental score which includes the famous “Wedding March.”

Queen Margaret’s School presents
Student/Child $15.50

Queen Margaret’s School is thrilled to present The Addams Family, directed by Tilly Lorence.
This delightfully dark musical comedy is a comical feast that celebrates the wackiness in every family. In this original story, Wednesday Addams—the ultimate princess of darkness—has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a perfectly respectable family…whom her parents have never met.
If that’s not shocking enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now Gomez Addams must do the unthinkable, keep a secret from his beloved Morticia. Chaos ensues when the Addams family hosts a fateful dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
Join us for an evening of laughter, love, and a little mayhem as everything changes for the Addams family!
