Pseudolus
McGill Classics Play
The McGill Classics Play presents Plautus's Pseudolus!
A worthy but impecunious young man has met the girl of his dreams. There's just one hitch - she's a courtesan, and she's about to be sold to a rich soldier from abroad. Can a wily, witty, fast-taking servant find a way to bring this farce to a happy ending? The 2,000-year-old Roman comedy gets a 1930s makeover in this new translation by Celia Taylor and Manuela Galindo. Recommended for ages 12+.
There will be four evening performances at Mainline Theatre and one afternoon matinee on February 3 at the Victoria Hall Community Centre. (Victoria Hall is an accessible venue; Mainline is unfortunately not.) Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and seniors. They'll be available online shortly, and will also be available at the door.

Coming Soon
The Variations Mile End dancers perform an original choreographed performance using The wizard of oz as inspiration!
A hotel you can stay in…forever. Staff are eager to help, and metaphysical boundaries are mostly respected. That is, until a has-been celebrity comes to stay.
INSIDE MADPOETIX STUDIO is revolutionizing our Soirées Intimes Series by allowing the audience to get to know the feature performer through an interview during the show live. The artist will be interviewed by our host Kym Dominique Ferguson @Mrkdferguson. This is a one of a kind experience. There will be 8 Open Mic spots available for all genres: spoken word, poetry, comedy, singers, clowns, dancers, you name it we welcome it. They are each given a 5 min timeslot.
