Buster, 7:30pm

A fantastical re-telling of the legacy of silent film icon Buster Keaton. Project Lockout blend physical theatre, mime, and cinematic storytelling, the show explores how a Doncaster filmmaker becomes obsessed with bringing his idol back to life. A deeply human story unfolds—one of relentless pursuit and reverence for an era long gone, brought vividly back to life.

A Lady Does Not Scratch Her Crotch, 9:00pm

In this whirlwind one-woman show, our hero seeks the help of feather-dusters, three blondes and even you, the audience, to figure out how she's supposed to dress, act, kiss and love like a lady. But not too much.

Written and performed by Celeste Cahn, with additional direction by Francesca Hsieh (asst. dir. Vanya Duke of York’s Theatre) this Standing Ovation Nominated show explores how growing up in the shadow of a particular Disney Princess can be confusing, confining and, at times, consuming. It deals with themes of gender, sexuality, femininity, masculinity, and growing up.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl - not a princess or pretty girl waiting to be a princess. Her hair was always in her face. No dress fanned out as she sat. She could barely sit in a dress. She saw no happily ever after on the horizon.
