The Spontaneous Shakespeare Company
Tragedy or Triumph: An Improvised Shakespearean Epic—John Hirsch Mainstage
The Spontaneous Shakespeare company are returning to Winnipeg after their 2023 hit, Breaking Bard. We take your everyday story and turn it into an epic tale worthy of the Bard. Improvised entirely (well, mostly) in iambic pentameter you will swear that this group of fine thespians are reciting Shakespeare himself, except for all the times the show devolves into improvised insanity. Shakespeare fans and novices alike, come see theatre, improv and Shakespeare like you’ve never seen it before!

MissClaudiaPresents
WIT & WRATH: The Life & Times of Dorothy Parker—Planetarium
Higgeldy, piggeldy, my white hen.
She lays eggs for gentlemen.
You cannot persuade her, with gun or lariat,
To come across for the proletariat.
A woman who can twist a poem in seconds, on the back of a napkin at a dinner party? Witty, incisive, political, charming? That’s Dorothy Parker!
Born in Victorian times, she worked in NYC’s male literary world in 1920s, warned of Facism in 1930s and celebrated for her Short Stories in 1940s. A feminist before the world was coined!
Living the Dream
A One Human Being, Potentially Comedic Performance of Beauty and the Beast—The Gargoyle Theatre
In this one-person comedic exploration of the Beauty and the Beast (musical and films), local drama teacher (and “cringey try-hard”) Alli Perlov plays every character from Gaston to Lumiere to the Beast…and Belle too, I guess.
This show includes gags, witty commentary & lots of fun audience participation!
In the style of her Les Mis and Nightmare Before Christmas parody, Perlov hustles harder than ever to make you laugh at the tale as old as time.
Cactus Theatre Co.
Cactus—Tom Hendry Warehouse
If you knew you were dying, who would you take on a final adventure? Cactus Theatre Co. brings this premier production of Cactus to Winnipeg Fringe in memory of the playwright, Daniel Gilmour, who passed away unexpectedly within weeks of finishing the script. A dark comedy about a man taken through his memories by the god of death alongside his best friend and her trusty cactus, this show will tug on both your heartstrings and your funny bone.
Chuckle Hunters Improv
Chuckle Hunters Live—The Rachel Browne Theatre
A long form improv show with a twist: one improviser chooses the costumes and characters for the others, who only discover their roles as soon as they walk across the stage. That same improviser also has a prediction for how the story will end, but will they be right?
Expect ridiculous costumes, tomfoolery, storytelling, fun, and chuckles!
