Last Friday we did a short presentation of “Shelter” at the Wilde Party, the annual Gala for the Canada Ireland foundation. We left them wanting more. “Shelter” will have its world premiere at the Bealtaine Theatre Festival in May of ‘26. #TheatreTO #Theatre #Ireland

In #Toronto Do see one of the final perfs of Romeo Pimp, at tiny King Black Box Theatre directed by Sophie Ann Rooney, written by Jesse McQueen. A teen drama becomes sinister & heartbreaking. Terrific young cast in powerful, disconcerting Play. #TheatreTO
