NSTF - Strange and Unusual

Primarily a mentalist show, the tricks were fun and clever, clearly leaving you with awe and wonder at how he did it. The complementary conversations on human behaviour and conspiracy theories added another level of intrigue to the performance.

NSTF - Lucky

Looking for a way out with impossible choices. This young woman's attempts to coerce a bitter and damaged man she picks up in a bar creates a palpable tension throughout the play.

NSTF - Raising Stanley/Life with Tulia

Fantastic way to learn about and understand both the advantages and challenges of having a guide dog. Loved the little stories of how the dog navigates crowds and coffee shops, in a manner unbeknownst to the handler.

NSTF - Foreign Tongue

Intriguing concept, to wake up from a coma with "foreign accent syndrome" and learn what it is like to be a "new immigrant" in Canada. Clever, funny, musical and charming, this show was a blast.

NSTF - A Bear Awake in Winter

Fantastic show. Very timely and genuine, so authentic you are fully engaged. The cast is amazing and cohesive.

Ross Petty - The Wizard of Oz, A Toto-ly Twistered Family Musical!

While we miss our favourite characters - Ross Petty and Dan Chameroy - we still have Eddie Glen and Sara-Jean Hosie does a great Ross Petty impression as a despicable villain. We loved the cast and the show - lots of jokes, puns, singing and dancing. This panto is a wonderful holiday tradition.

Champions of Magic

Really entertaining group of five illusionists, with lots of oohs and ahhs. From unbelievable mind reading to nail biting escapes to sleight of hand and disappearing bodies there is lots of fun for the whole family.
