Odyssey Theatre Presents: Mirandolina - Theatre Under the Stars
2026-07-30 20:00 - 22:30, 2026-07-29 20:00 - 22:30, 2026-07-28 20:00 - 22:30, 2026-07-26 20:00 - 22:30, 2026-07-25 20:00 - 22:30 | Strathcona Park, 25 Range Road, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 8J3, Canada
This summer, Odyssey Theatre celebrates its 40th anniversary with Mirandolina, a bold new adaptation of Carlo Goldoni’s The Mistress of the Inn, adapted and directed by Eleanor Crowder.
Mirandolina
At the center of this sharp-witted comedy is Mirandolina, a fiercely intelligent innkeeper who has no interest in surrendering her independence to the parade of wealthy men competing for her attention. But when a smug nobleman arrives, determined to prove himself immune to her charms, Mirandolina decides to teach him a lesson he won’t forget. Full of flirtation, deception, physical comedy, and theatrical invention, Mirandolina is a fast-paced battle of wit and ego under the stars. A wildly entertaining game of seduction, manipulation, and comic revenge packed with masks, movement, and the playful theatricality that defines Odyssey Theatre.
What happens when the smartest person in the room is done playing nice?
Theatre Under The Stars is held in Strathcona Park, from July 23 – August 16. All performances are at 8:00pm, with Pay-What-You-Wish Sunday matinee’s at 2:00pm. Click Here for more on the Sunday matinee performances.

Geek Trivia
2026-07-27 18:30 - 20:30 | Level One Game Pub, 14 Waller Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 9C4, Canada
Do you have a surplus of knowledge nuggets from years of playing through various video game sagas?
Is your mind palace filled with what some might (wrongly) deem “inconsequential” details about your favourite television shows and movies?
In social situations, do you find yourself holding back from inundating those around you with facts and tidbits about the movie they’re discussing? Or worse – not holding back?
We can help! Join us for Geek Trivia on Monday nights where your nerdy expertise will be not only appreciated, but celebrated!Each week, Trivia Master Alex sets aside a portion of the evening to focus on a different geeky theme (you can check out upcoming themes on our website). And if a particular week’s theme isn’t your speciality, don’t worry! There will still be a lot of randomized trivial geekiness to enjoy! The exception to this is the last Monday of every month, when all the questions will be on a particular theme. The theme for December 22: The Holidays! (please note there will be no Geek Trivia on December 29)
Book a table for your team at levelonegamepub.com/reservations – be sure to put “Trivia” in the details section. Walk-ins are also welcome.
Cost: free with purchase, $9 without purchase (per person)
