Theatre and Drama Studies

This fall join us as Shakespeare's most iconic love story takes center stage. Romeo and Juliet explores youth, rebellion, agency, and desire in the face of inherited conflict, asking what it means to seek connection in a fractured, oppressive world. With its mix of wit, lyricism, and heartbreak, we're excited to stage the voices that dare to imagine a better future—even as fate closes in.

Love, Harold
Directed by Alan Zweig | 2025 | Canada | Documentary | 90 minutes | English | Ontario Premiere
Co-Presented by Distress Centres of Toronto & DOC Institute
Post-screening discussion with Alan Zweig
Open Reception at 5 PM (all are welcome) | Box Office opens at 5:15 PM
Award-winning Canadian documentarian Alan Zweig explores the nature of grief and helplessness after an old friend commits suicide. Zweig sits down with numerous friends and acquaintances also dealing with the loss of loved ones by their own hand. Their stories are as varied as the people they’ve lost, and their honesty and candour about their unimaginable experiences make an often taboo subject feel tangible and shared like never before. Their pain is palpable, but so too is their resilience. Love, Harold is a cinematic love letter to those we’ve lost but also a tribute to those left behind to pick up the pieces.
Keywords: Suicide, grief, love, communityAccessibility: Open Captions, active listenerPrevious screenings: Calgary International Film Festival
Director BioAlan Zweig is a Toronto documentary filmmaker known for using film to explore his own life. His first film was the cult classic Vinyl, which was listed by Pitchfork as one of the best music documentaries ever made. Other films include Hurt, I, Curmudgeon, There Is a House Here and Fifteen Reasons to Live. His films have won the Platform and Best Canadian Feature Awards at TIFF, a Genie and a Canadian Screen Award.
 
WITH SHORT FILM — Ghost
Directed by Stephanie Quilliams | 2025 | Canada | Animated short | 3 minutes | English
Loss is universal, it's something everyone encounters in some form. Ghost is a journey through some of the different ways one can cope - both healthy and unhealthy. Director Stephanie Quilliams has transformed the pain of losing her sister to suicide into a unique artistic endeavour by animating her sister's ashes.
Director BioStephanie Quilliams an animator, puppeteer, director, and performance and multimedia artist. Steph has had her work shown internationally and has collaborated with artists both in Canada and America. Stephanie's art often pushes boundaries and buttons. Through her most recent work Ghost, Steph takes a departure from her often humorous and bawdy themes to examine the concept of loss and how to cope with it.

The Grapes of Wrath Acoustic Duo Live in the Green Sanderson Hall at Hugh's Room, 296 Broadview AvenueShow at 8pm, Doors at 7pm$35+ in advance, $42+at the door
After bonding over a mutual love of The Beatles, drummer Chris Hooper introduced Kevin Kane to his younger brother Tom Hooper in 1977. While still attending elementary and junior high school in Kelowna, BC, the trio began learning to play their instruments together during regular Friday night jam sessions in the basement of the Hoopers’ suburban home.
Influenced in equal parts by the British invasion of the 60s and the DIY attitudes and immediacy of punk and new wave, the group took the name The Grapes of Wrath in 1983.
This year, Tom and Kevin are once again hitting the road as a duo to perform The Grapes’ music in an intimate and unplugged setting, telling the stories behind the songs and putting the focus on the harmonies and melodies of their timeless music. Sunday October 19.

Suzie Ungerleider Live in the Green Sanderson Hall at Hugh's Room, 296 Broadview AvenueShow at 8pm, Doors at 7pm$30+ in advance, $37+at the door
 
After 23 years away chasing dreams in Toronto, three-time JUNO nominee Suzie Ungerleider (formerly Oh Susanna) returned home to Vancouver, drawn by its salt airand towering trees. Her new album, Among the Evergreens, is a deeply personal journey through time, tracing her path from youthful dreams to the wisdom ofexperience.
“It’s about being like a tree with all those rings around you, the layers of your life telling you who you are and where you've been,” she says. Imagery of the outdoors, of green valleys and trees shedding their leaves, infuses this new collection which is garnering high praise as one of her best.
Uncut Magazine describes Among the Evergreens as “thoughtful, luminous, expressive” and featured it as Americana Album of the Month for June 2025. Mojo Magazine’s four- star review glowed that these 10 new songs “are about as sweet as folk-Americana comes.”
Suzie brings her stories to life with her captivating voice and raw honesty. Inviting you into her world through poetic lyricism and mesmerizing melodies, she shares herexperiences from teenage-hood to motherhood. “Here I am making songs back among the evergreens, a prodigal daughter, who is now a mother, asking, who was I then and who am I now, where have I been and what did I learn along the way?”
Expect an evening of heartfelt music and vivid storytelling that lingers long after the last note fades, leaving you among the evergreens, dreaming and remembering. Sunday October 26.

The Secret of Me
Directed by Grace Hughes-Hallett | 2025 | United Kingdom | Documentary | 80 minutes | English
Co-Presented by Toronto Queer Film Festival
Box Office opens at 5:00 PM 
‘After demanding his medical records, Jim discovers that like many intersex people, a gender presentation, carried out through invasive operations,  was constructed for him in childhood. It is common practice for intersex children to never be told the truth of what happened to them.. We follow the aftermath of these invasive interventions, supported by fraudulent research and celebrated by doctors, though the real results show a very different story. As Jim makes very clear, this is not a transgender story. It's one that highlights the problem of a binary understanding of gender, asking us to consider the continued medicalisation of our bodies and our identities, and questions who it is that tells us who we are.’ – Sheffield Doc Festival

#skoden
Directed by Damien Eagle Bear | 2025 | Canada | Documentary | 76 minutes | English
In partnership with Shkaabe MakwaCo-Presented by Shkaabe Makwa & imagineNATIVE
Post-screening discussion with Damien Eagle Bear, moderated by Lindsay Monture
Open Reception at 5 PM | 32 LISGAR STREET, 2ND FLOORIN PARTNERSHIP WITH Lingering Echoes, Curated by Nicole Marchesseau and Fatma Hendawy
Box office opens at 6 PM | 1025 QUEEN STREET WEST, 2ND FLOOR
#skoden tells the story of Pernell Bad Arm, the Blackfoot man behind the infamous “Skoden” meme. What started out as a social media post to bond Indigenous people across Turtle Island over rez slang and relatable uncle material opened our eyes to something much more: a man whose life on the streets became a mockery to some and a figure of Indigenous empowerment to others but was most beloved by those who knew him personally. Damien Eagle Bear’s heartfelt and compassionate documentary humanizes the man behind the image, sharing stories from Pernell’s family and friends about his life and struggles, and serves as an anecdote to a bigger issue — the harsh reality of street life for many Indigenous people living in urban centres across so-called Canada.

Director bio: Niitsitapi, amateur physicist, frybread-eating machine, Damien Eagle Bear is a multifaceted filmmaker from the Kainai First Nation of the Blackfoot Confederacy. His career began with the short experimental documentary Napi, which asks the question of what will happen when the Blackfoot trickster gets behind the camera. Damien has gone on to produce, direct and write short films, web series and documentaries that have played at film festivals across both Canada and the United States.  Damien continues to expand his horizons with work that explores the themes of belonging and Indigenous resiliency.
 
WITH SHORT FILM — The Fourth World Problems Collective
Directed by Kira Doxator | 2024 | Canada | Fiction | 7 minutes | English
On a cold Toronto night, a tight-knit collective of friends embark on an unusual mission—tapping maple trees in their neighborhood. A simple act becomes a reflection on belonging and tradition.
Director Bio: Kira Doxtator is an Anishinaabe, Oneida, and Dakota filmmaker exploring Indigiqueer identities, land relationships, and Indigenous futurisms through impactful storytelling and industry advocacy.

On our Secret Food Tour: Toronto, you'll explore two of the city's most iconic and authentic neighborhoods—St. Lawrence and the Distillery District.

By the end of the tour, you'll have had the chance to explore local galleries, boutiques, and artisan shops, as well as sample some of Toronto's finest local delicacies. Get ready to uncover the hidden treasures that make Toronto a paradise for foodies and culture enthusiasts alike.
Ready to join us? Book now and let the feast begin!
 Our journey starts at the St. Lawrence Market, Toronto’s historic marketplace dating back over 200 years.
 First up, we’ll visit a local fish market where you’ll sample wild-caught sockeye salmon cured in Canadian maple syrup.
 Then we'll visit a pub known for making one of the best versions of the "peameal bacon sandwich", also known as Canadian bacon.
 Next, you'll indulge in a popular no-bake dessert whose origin is shrouded in mystery.
 After leaving the market, you'll unearth an Indian-inspired dish that has taken Toronto by surprise and is now a staple of the city's street food scene.
 And for a great end, you'll devour the mouth-watering goodness of a classic Canadian pastry, the famous Butter Tart.

St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. Across from Berczy Park, 27 Front St. E., Toronto. ON M5E 1B4. Your guide will be waiting with an orange umbrella so they are easy to spot.
Why the St. Lawrence Market?
As Toronto's oldest market, the St. Lawrence Market's property has had a market as early as 1803. The building itself has many of its original structures still in place from 1845. We chose this spot as our main focal point on our tour because it still remains a place for history, culture and is a part of Toronto's identity.
The area that was built around this market is reflective of how old and new can coexist in cuisine, architecture and history. This is the best place to discover some of Toronto's finest cuisine at the same time as learn more about the city's fascinating history!

Night 2 curated by Sanjeet Takhar (MG AD 2020-Present) celebrates passion and energy rooted in unfazed, determined DIY spirit bringing communities together.
This year is special. As we celebrate 50 years of history & 20 years of X Avant, we’ve gathered 5 curators to take over 918 Bathurst to enliven and celebrate 5 eras of precious sound. 
Sanjeet says, “Founded as a club night in Kampala, Uganda, Nyege Nyege began with a mission to create a safe, supportive space where East African DJs, musicians, and artists could take creative risks, share ideas, and build community. This foundation grew into a dynamic cultural platform that includes a festival, a professional recording studio and residency program, and two record labels—Nyege Nyege Tapes and Hakuna Kulala—dedicated to nurturing the underground music scene. With its own booking agency and relentless innovation, Nyege Nyege continues to champion a new generation of boundary-pushing creatives.
Sisso & Maiko’s Singeli—Tanzania’s breakneck dance music that layers frenetic loops with influences from Zanzibar’s taarab to South African afro-house, propelled by razor-sharp MCing that reflects the joys and struggles of urban life in Dar es Salaam. Will have you moving your body and screaming alongside your friends. 
Alongside this, Violence Gratuite will perform selections from her debut album Baleine à Boss, a suite of pulsing techno and fractured trap infused with echoes of French pop. Rooted in imagery from the forests of western Cameroon and shaped by a restless, exploratory spirit.
We are proud to partner with local critical and experimental magazine, The Vermin. The Vermin has curated our opening musical act, Krish, and the writers/artists Jessica Kasiama, Ibrahim Abusitta, and Daniel Maluka. Dedicated to the second section of The Vermin Issue 02: Against Pleasure, these artists will draw us to the sensory diversity of the tongue as a locus of speech and sound. Readers will be performing in the Gallery at 7:20, and Krish will be in the Main Hall at 8:00.
All of this was made possible with the hard work of Western Front, and is a part of a tour built by Debaser (Ottawa), Arts in the Margins (Montréal), and Send + Receive Festival (Winnipeg) and the MG.”
