Perchance presents the Tony Award nominated Every Brilliant Thing, directed by Allison Kelly and starring Harbour Grace native John Sheehan. The show follows one person’s journey through life, love, and loss, using honesty, humour and a growing list of joys to navigate the impact of his mother’s mental illness. This play is currently playing on London’s West End and on Broadway!

Perchance presents Romeo & Juliet, adapted and directed by Danielle Irvine.  This classic by William Shakespeare remains a powerful exploration of love and conflict, brought to life in this production with clarity, urgency, and emotional immediacy.

Perchance to Laugh is a two part show compiled and directed by comedian John Sheehan!

In the first half, we’ll be exploring some of Shakespeare’s most famous scenes, with a touch of Newfoundland flavour! You’ll either leave with a better understanding of the Bard…or even more lost than you were before…

The second half of the show is…well…nonsense! It’s sketch, and stand-up, with a few nice songs mixed in for good measure.

Shakespeare By the Sea Festival brings their production of Binja to Perchance. Written by Nabila Qureshi and Abdullah Omar Saif and directed by Santiago Guzman, Binja is inspired by a Persian poem by Farid ud-Din Attar and the authors’ experiences with multi-cultural and multi-dimensional stories. The play is a journey of self-discovery with trials and tribulations along the way, and it conveys pan-cultural touchstones through animals as characters that are loved by many across Newfoundland and Labrador.

Perchance presents Moratorium on Love, directed by Perry Schneiderman and adapted by Evan Mercer.  This adaptation of Surprise of Love by Marivaux combines high-energy physical comedy that offers an engaging theatrical experience for all ages. In this physical, witty, and charming high-wire comedy set in the outport locality of Heart Harbour, two servants are trying to keep their love story alive by convincing their unwilling (and unwitting) masters to fall in love with each other.

The beloved literary classic Little Women by Louisa May Alcott comes to the Perchance stage this summer, with a new adaptation by Allison Moira Kelly.

This timeless coming-of-age story explores the ups and downs of girlhood through the vastly different perspectives of Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth. Appropriate for all ages, we cordially invite you, your friends, and whole family to experience joy, loss, love, and the pangs of growing up along with the March Family.
