Moving between past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood playing at the family’s Bechdel Funeral Home, her growing understanding of her own sexuality, and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father’s hidden desires.
Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.

Suzart Productions Presents: Urinetown: The Musical
2026-05-21 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-05-22 19:30 - 21:30 | Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe, 101 Centrepointe Drive, Nepean, Ontario, K2G 5K7, Canada
Winner of three Tony Awards and multiple other honors, Urinetown is a sharp, hilarious musical satire that skewers capitalism, bureaucracy, social irresponsibility, and even musical theatre itself.
In a Gotham-like city, a 20-year drought has led to a government ban on private toilets, forcing citizens to use public facilities controlled by a greedy corporation. When one hero decides he has had enough, he sparks a revolution to reclaim basic human freedom.
Inspired by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown combines biting social commentary with laugh-out-loud humor. Praised for redefining what a musical can be, it delivers wickedly modern wit, outrageous twists, and moments of surprising heart, making audiences rethink the world and the theatre around them.

Pollination and insemination have never been funnier than in this rural comedy with a huge, honeyed heart.

Throw in a strapping young entomology student and let nature take its course!
