Mainstage
The 2024 Season on Ontario’s West Coast will open with a time-honoured favourite. Fiddler on the Roof has touched audiences around the world with its winning combination of humour, warmth, and honesty. The production features a magnificent score full of classic songs like “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” “If I Were A Rich Man,” and “Tradition,” making it one of the most acclaimed musicals in North American theatre history. Fiddler on the Roof runs June 12 to June 30.
Next up is the Tony®, Grammy®, and Olivier Award-winning musical, Jersey Boys. This international phenomenon takes you behind the scenes – and behind the music – of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons as they work their way to the heights of stardom, thrilling audiences with electrifying performances of chart-topping hits like “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Sherry,” “Walk Like A Man,” “Too Good To Be True,” and more. Don’t miss this worldwide phenomenon that will leave you exclaiming, “Oh, What a Night!” This Broadway blockbuster runs from July 10 to August 3.
The feel-good blockbuster Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical will end the 2024 Season with a bang, running August 15 to September 1. With a spectacular array of outrageous costumes, flamboyant choreography, and a hit parade of dancefloor favourites, including “It’s Raining Men,” “I Will Survive,” and many more, this wildly fresh and funny musical is a journey to the heart of FABULOUS!

This feel-good musical is on stage June 12 to June 30.
Next up is the ageless comedy Doris and Ivy in the Home, a riotous tale that will shatter your preconceived notions of what “senior living” ought to be. When retired prison guard Doris Mooney moves in to a retirement home and quickly befriends Ivy Hoffbauer, what follows is a testament to living each day to the fullest. This mirthful production is on stage from July 11 to July 28.
Close out the 2024 Season with Drayton Entertainment’s perennially popular family panto. Next year’s offering is Peter Pan: The Panto. Brimming with adventure, this memorable tale about a boy who would not grow up becomes awash in swash and buckle. The production runs August 7 to September 1.
