  • A staged reading of The Humans, a Victorian premiere featuring cast members from our planned production and showcasing the work of our design team,

  • Winter Lab Showcase, featuring excerpts from projects that have gone through our Winter Lab program for new work,

  • Visual Arts Exhibition - “Visions from Lockdowns” by Amelia Shepherd.

  • Sloshed Shakespeare, exactly what it sounds like!

  • Play in a Day, an evening showcasing 10-minute plays and musicals that were written in 24 hours,
