The year is 2090, and only one faculty remains at McMaster. The Faculty of Careers is every student’s dream—a guaranteed pathway to employment, minus all of that critical thinking that was so popular earlier in the century. Frances, an incoming first year, finds herself dissatisfied with the dreary Faculty of Careers and its listless student body. But when she goes digging for answers in McMaster’s past, she uncovers a secret that threatens to destroy the university itself.

McMaster Science Musical presents:
Mac to the Future
 
Percy and Charlie are first-year students beginning their new lives at McMaster University, but their excitement is quickly interrupted by the heated rivalry between the most polar opposite programs: Chembio and Biochem. This long-running battle has been going on for years, but a recent scientific discovery by Dr. A. Minnit has provided a solution that could finally end this feud once and for all- time travel. 
This show is filled with friendship, drama, fights galore, and science, of course. Will the Chembios and Biochems mess up the timeline for good, or will they be able to get Mac To The Future?

Opeongo:Opeongo is the moniker of Keegan Trumpour and an ever-rotating cast of musicians. Hailing from Midland, Ontario, Opeongo has released three LP’s, of which 2024’s “Eventual Mt. Lee” is the latest. A new album is set to be released this year. / InstagramSam the Living:Sam the Living (the self-proclaimed sad prince of the prairies, now based in Toronto) is an eclectic singer-songwriter who turns small domestic disasters and dissociative episodes into thoughtful, affecting songs. Blending seventies soft rock with contemporary indie folk, his ethereal, brooding voice carries stories of almost-love, hunger, heartache, and absurd reflection. As melancholic as it is playful, Sam’s music invites listeners to sit with the mess, hum through the sting, and notice how even the smallest wounds can hold the most tenderness. / InstagramSammy Volkov:Sammy Volkov has been featured at festivals like the Calgary and Edmonton Folk Music Festivals and has shared stages with the likes of Frazey Ford, Boy Golden and Mariel Buckley. The queer American-Canadian singer-songwriter has “...vocals that emanate…an air of melancholy. Roy Orbison, with a dash of Chris Isaak and a pinch of gospel-era Elvis Presley are the knee-jerk comparisons, as Volkov sings like a man out of time” (The Edmonton Journal). / Instagram

An It Could Still Happen Production in Partnership with Buddies
March 4 – 14, 2026$10 / $25 / $45 / $75all prices + fees
Ancient Greece / right here + now
The plan will always feel like a mistake. Practice the mistake. 
A lecture on Antonio Banderas’ astrological chart, a chorus questioning their calling, and a long walk in a small mortal body. Jill Connell’s poetics work backward, interlacing Greek myth and the grindset, trying to figure out how we got here. The Herald navigates the choreography of labour as it asks us for faith and gives us something like meaning, or at least a new way of paying attention. By the end of the play, all of us will know how to be in Shoppers Drug Mart, wondering how to handle time, and what will happen to all the work we do not make.
The Herald is a play, but it's also a soundtrack, a costume drama, an art installation, and a movement piece. The show interrogates the value of work, how to be in community, and the desire to make meaning of our time on earth
Jill Connell // playwright + director
The Herald is approximately 75 minutes long, with no intermission.

About It Could Still HappenIt Could Still Happen is a theatre collective that has been working together since 2013. Founded by Jill Connell, our shows are based on formally-innovative texts that approach the embodied experience of how things feel, prioritizing bold aesthetics and the space we’re in. We value long-term creation processes that invite experimentation, trust, group work, and care. We aim to offer performances that have a startling sense of aliveness and possibility; that are as ferocious as they are tender. Past productions include The Supine Cobbler and HROSES: Outrage à raison, both performed in abandoned warehouses prior to becoming condos. We’ve been making The Herald since 2019, asking: what if not knowing yet can be a way of working?

This one goes out to my Italian ex-boyfriend who would’ve loved to attend but I banned him from Buddies.Oh and in case you were wondering, “Frocio” means f*g*ot in Italian.
