THE BROTHERS PARANORMAL

By Prince Golmolvilas

Things you cannot see are sometimes far more terrifying…

“Ghostly” sightings have increased nationwide. To capitalize on this, brothers Max and Visarut launch a paranormal investigation business but haven’t had a single case. On the verge of giving up, their first customer finally arrives! A terrifying spirit seems to be haunting a loving couple for reasons unknown. As unexplained phenomenons start occurring, the siblings realize they’re in for more than they bargained for, and everyone begins to question what is real and what is imagined.

THE BROTHERS PARANORMAL is a shiver inducing thrill ride that is equal parts mystery, comedy and horror!

PERIL IN THE ALPS

By Steven Dietz

Based in part on Agatha Christie’s “Poirot investigates”

Kidnapping, murder and blackmail!

Bella Duveen has vanished, and Arthur Hastings can think of no one better to find his sister-in-law than his good friend Hercule Poirot - a master sleuth who had saved her once before. Coincidentally, Poirot has just taken on a missing persons case that seems eerily similar – are they connected? And how are these disappearances intertwined with past mysteries that have already been solved? With the suspicion of a greater scheme at play, Poirot must travel to the snow-capped Alps, where the famed Belgian detective may finally meet his match.

Six actors bring to life dozens of eccentric characters and clever suspects in this diabolically funny mystery romp.

MONSTRESS

By Trevor Schmidt

Can saving another soul save your own?

A disgraced female doctor is practicing her own brand of medicine after being expelled for ‘dangerous dabbling’ from The Upper Harrington Academy of Anatomical Dissection and School of Medicine and Surgery. A letter arrives from a wealthy father soliciting an impossible request: to resurrect his daughter who, only recently, fell off her horse and died. When the Doctor succeeds, and Lydia Chartreuse is brought back from the dead without regards for the outcome, the question emerges - which one is the real monstress?

Written and directed by Trevor Schmidt, this stylistic gothic thriller asks what costs arise from resurrecting the past.

A KILLING SNOW

By Paul Ciufo

Mors omnibus parata est - Death…has been prepared for all.

Four strangers take shelter in Gerald Goldie’s secluded farmhouse during a Huron County blizzard. As they wait out the storm, frightening Latin phrases begin to appear on the walls and it becomes clear that there is murder on someone’s mind. The stranded guests have a choice – escape the house of terror and face death in the blizzard, or tempt the Fates by remaining. What would you do?

This rural, suspense-packed whodunnit by Canadian playwright Paul Ciufo will have audiences guessing throughout, in a play that evokes as much mysticism as it does mystery.

THE VERDICT

By Barry Reed

Adapted for the stage by Margaret May Hobbs

One big case. One last shot at redemption.

Frank Galvin is a washed-up, alcoholic, ambulance-chasing lawyer. Offered an ‘open and shut’ malpractice case involving a young pregnant woman now confined to a life in a coma, he suspects a cover up. Presented with one last chance to redeem himself, he daringly refuses an out-of-court settlement and instead takes the negligent doctors and the unforgiving Boston medical establishment to court. Can he find justice for his client, or will the powerful institutions win out in the end?

Based off the best-selling novel by Barry Reed that became a classic Sidney Lumet film starring Paul Newman, this North American Premiere is a day in court that is not to be missed.
