Upcoming Staged Reading

Venus in Fur

by David Ives

Thomas, a beleaguered playwright/director, is desperate to find an actress to play Vanda, the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale Venus in Fur. Into his empty audition room walks a vulgar and equally desperate actress—oddly enough, named Vanda. Though utterly wrong for the sophisticated part, Vanda exhibits a strange command of the material, piquing Thomas’ interest with her seductive talents and secretive manner. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win. A mysterious, funny, erotic drama that represents yet another departure for the multifaceted David Ives.

The Peterborough Theatre Guild is thrilled to announce an exciting lineup for the upcoming 2025-2026 season, showcasing a mix of comedy, drama, and musical theatre, with a strong focus on Canadian talent. The season kicks off with Opening Night by renowned Canadian playwright Norm Foster, directed by Margaret Monis. This hilarious play takes audiences on a journey behind the scenes of a chaotic theatre premiere. Get ready for twists and turns, sharp wit and great characters. Adding a dramatic twist, 291, written by local playwright Jade O’Keeffe and directed by Lisa Dixon, brings a touch of historical intrigue with a locally written piece that delves into the letters between acclaimed artist Georgia O’Keeffe and her lover, photographer Alfred Stieglitz. This original work highlights the artistry and emotion behind one of history’s most famous creative couples. As the holiday season approaches, families can enjoy the beloved children’s production of The Emperor’s New Clothes, written and directed by Gerry McBride based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. This adaptation promises to be full of humour and enchantment for audiences of all ages. Music by John Austin. In the new year, look forward to more comedies. Where You Are by Kristen Da Silva, directed by Jerry Allen, is a heartwarming tale of love, family, and unexpected second chances in a charming, small-town setting. Midnight Madness by Peterborough Native, Dave Carley is a romantic comedy about two former classmates who unexpectedly reunite at a furniture store’s going-out-of-business sale. For those who love a musical spectacle, the season rounds out with the electrifying production of Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, directed by Nate Axcell. This hilarious parody of the horror genre promises electrifying choreography, clever wordplay and big belly laughs. With most productions proudly Canadian and a lineup designed to entertain and inspire, the Peterborough Theatre Guild invites audiences to experience the magic of local, live theatre. Season tickets and individual show tickets will be available starting July 1 Artwork by: Taylor Polley

Join us for Venus in Fur by David Ives on Sunday, June 1st at 2pm. This will be our final staged reading of the season! Director - Bea Quarrie Stage Manager - Lyn Braun Thomas, a beleaguered playwright/director, is desperate to find an actress to play Vanda, the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale Venus in Fur. Into his empty audition room walks a vulgar and equally desperate actress—oddly enough, named Vanda. Though utterly wrong for the sophisticated part, Vanda exhibits a strange command of the material, piquing Thomas’ interest with her seductive talents and secretive manner. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win. Please Note:  Venus in Fur is a Dark Comedy with complex adult subject matter and mature language.  It is not suitable for children under 12. Carissa Kaye Carissa began her acting career in Hamilton, where she successfully ran her own theatre company and staged many Festival productions for nearly a decade. In November of 2023, she settled in Peterborough with her husband and their many cats. With the Electric City Players she has been both Banquo (Macbeth2024) and Olivia (Twelfth Night2025), as well as acting in Bea Quarrie’s Tick Talk and a staged reading of Home, I’m Darling. Carissa is ever so thankful for the warm welcome she has received from Peterborough’s theatre community, from the very first day she moved in. Mark Scanlon Mark first appeared on the Theatre Guild Stage in late 1986, shortly after moving to Peterborough. He appeared in eight productions over his first four years in Peterborough, receiving Best Actor nominations at both the 1988 EODL and Theatre Ontario Festivals for his role as David in PTG’s The Melville Boys, and an Adjudicator’s Award for Best Use of Comedy at the EODL Festival. A busy father of four daughters, and a pharmacy owner/pharmacist, Mark traded theatre activities for professional and family responsibilities for nearly two decades, returning to the PTG stage in 2010 in Death of A Salesman, in which he played two different roles.

Our second last staged reading of the season is Pugwash by Vern Thiessen. We hope you can join us! 1957. Barely a decade after the first use of atomic bombs, the world is divided and fearful of the real threat of nuclear weaponry. In an effort to understand the devastating effects of radiation, leading scientists and academics—world-renowned “Thinkers”—are invited to a conference in the small town of Pugwash, Nova Scotia. Two local children, Conni and Jamie, take interest in some of the Thinkers, who are humbled by their innocent welcome. But a spy disguised as a reporter has conned Jamie for information to use against the Thinkers, putting the entire conference—and the town of Pugwash—at risk. “It’s an intelligent and thoughtful play that is relevant in many ways to today’s political climate, while shedding light on an intriguing local story. ” - Michael Lake, The Coast Run time: 105 minutes Sunday May 11th PTG Main stage 2pm

“Sha la la, Joseph, you’re doing fine! You and your dream coat, ahead of your time!” The Peterborough Theatre Guild is ecstatic to present Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Showplace Performance Centre! With a cast of over 50 community members, the Joseph team shall take the Showplace stage from April 25th - May 4th. And now, on with the show! Welcome to the wonderful world of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. One of the most enduring musicals of all time, this show is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors. Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph’s insight into Egypt’s impending famine propels him to a position of power as Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his long-lost family. This musical launched the Rice-Lloyd Webber collaboration, becoming a multi-award-winning show performed in over 80 countries. It features many songs that have gone on to become pop and musical theatre classics, including Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door to Me, There’s One More Angel In Heaven and Go, Go, Go Joseph.

We're thrilled to have Lela Fox-Doran (@nerd.socks) playing Williamina Fleming in our upcoming production of Silent Sky.

Since then, they have appeared in 5 shows, including TTOK's The Real Inspector Hound (Felicity Cunningham), PTG's Dorothy in Wonderland (Scarecrow), and ECP's Twelfth Night (Fabian).

Curious about our next play, Silent Sky? It's based on the real life of Henrietta Leavitt, whose observations of cepheid variables like this one led to her discovery of an accurate way to measure distances well beyond the Milky Way. It had a profound impact on our understanding of the scale and structure of the universe. No longer was our sun at the centre of the Milky Way or the Milky Way the centre of the universe. There were other galaxies! We're lighting up the stage with her story. Join us for Silent Sky opening March 21.

Our next play reading is approaching fast! Join us for
Our next play reading is approaching fast! Join us for "Third" by Wendy Wasserstein, directed by Lisa Dixon! His name is Woodson Bull III, but you can call him “Third.” And Professor Laurie Jameson is disinclined to like his jockish, jingoistic attitude. He is, as she puts it, “a walking red state.” Believing that Third’s sophisticated essay on King Lear could not possibly have been written by such a specimen, Professor Jameson reports his plagiarism to the college’s Committee of Academic Standards. But is Jameson’s accusation justified? Or is she casting Third as the villain in her own struggle with her relationships, her age and the increasingly polarized political environment? Featuring: Dani Breau, Darius Maliha-Evans, Tom Quinn, Sam Weatherdon and Gillian Woodhouse Recording Voices by: Beau Dixon
We are excited to announce our upcoming production of Silent Sky, the inspiring and thought-provoking play by Lauren Gunderson. Directed by Bea Quarrie and Co-Produced by Ina Stenner and Antje Burness, Silent Sky will be opening on March 21st and running through April 5th. This production celebrates the life and work of astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, whose groundbreaking contributions to science were largely overlooked in her time. Set in the early 20th century, Silent Sky tells the true story of Henrietta Leavitt’s determination to uncover the mysteries of the universe, despite the barriers imposed by both society and her gender. Through her work at the Harvard Observatory, Leavitt made a significant discovery that would change the course of astronomy—but, tragically, she never lived to see the full extent of her impact.

We are excited to announce our upcoming Staged Reading! Calendar Girls by Tim Firth will be directed by the one and only Jacquie Ainsworth Butler @butlerjacquie. Sunday, February 9, 2025 - 2:00 PM When Annie’s husband John dies of leukemia, she and best friend Chris resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room. They manage to persuade four fellow Women’s Institute members to pose nude with them for an “alternative” calendar, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence. The news of the women’s charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie’s friendship is put to the test under the strain of their newfound fame. Based on the true story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukaemia Research Fund, Calendar Girls opened at the Chichester Festival Theatre and has since become the fastest-selling play in British theatre history. “Calendar Girls, with a script by Tim Firth, who also co-wrote the movie, achieves exactly what it sets out to do. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, and it leaves you feeling better about life than you did when you entered the theatre.” - The Telegraph “It’s a show full of poignant moments – about friendship, determination and hope; about loss in many forms; about the importance of acceptance; about knowing when to let go. But it also offers plenty of humour, as the six friends and WI members decide to pose nude for a calendar” - Liverpool Daily Post
We are excited to announce our upcoming Staged Reading! Calendar Girls by Tim Firth will be directed by the one and only Jacquie Ainsworth Butler @butlerjacquie. Sunday, February 9, 2025 - 2:00 PM When Annie’s husband John dies of leukemia, she and best friend Chris resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room. They manage to persuade four fellow Women’s Institute members to pose nude with them for an “alternative” calendar, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence. The news of the women’s charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie’s friendship is put to the test under the strain of their newfound fame.

John Patrick Shanley's Outside Mullingar on at Peterborough Theatre Guild from Jan. 24th to Feb 8th. Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted misfits straddling 40. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, a state of affairs that—due to his painful shyness—suits him well. Rosemary lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away. With Anthony’s father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then, in this very Irish story with a surprising depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, full of laughter, and ultimately deeply moving. Outside Mullingar is a compassionate, delightful work about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love.

Meter, Calgary review of Mary's Wedding "With an impressive economy of means—only one set, two actors and no intermission—Massicotte has combined a fictional romance with the true story of a heroic World War I exploit. " -New York Times "As dreams do, Massicotte's script collages things prosaic with things fantastical, things recalled with things imagined—heightened, skewed memories, letters, news from the war. " -CityBeat, Cincinnati "If this production had been a videotape I would have rewound it and watched the whole thing all over again the minute it ended. " -New York Theatre Review We hope you will join us at the Peterborough Theatre Guild October 25th - November 9th. Mary's Wedding is directed by the one and only Jane Werger and produced by Jennifer Gruer. Featuring Edward Sweeney and Justine Christensen.

What an exciting time it is at the Peterborough Theatre Guild! As we approach opening night, the Ghosts and Zombie Slayers are hard at work! Both casts were able to join forces and cheer one another on in their first run through Tuesday night. We cannot wait for you to see these highly informative and entertaining productions. A Ghost Story and How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse runs September 20th - October 5th.

Up next, we have the incredible cast of How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse written by Ben Muir. You won't want to miss this wildly entertaining seminar on how NOT to be taken down by a hungry, flesh obsessed Zombie! This cast is absolutely stellar, so join us on September 20th at the Peterborough Theatre Guild for some vital knowledge and laughter! John Austin This is John‘s first time appearing with the Peterborough Theatre Guild. His most recent stage credits include Ross/the Porter in William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, (Electric City Players, 2024), Philip Lombard in Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, (Lindsay Little Theatre, 2023), and Elwood P. Dowd in Mary Chase’s Harvey, (Lindsay Little Theatre, 2019). Prior to 2019, he was busy! James Burrell This is James’ 3rd appearance with the Guild, and the first where he is a gun-toting, rootin’ tootin’ conspiracy enthusiast…always a hit with the kids! When not on set (or building them), James spends his time relaxing until the next call from his family to fix, drive, feed, fund or otherwise not be on the couch. Shout out to the cast and crew who have made this a fun time, and as always to LC, my beloved WIFE!! We will see if this one makes the wall. Enjoy the show(s)! Andrew Lane Andrea has been involved in the dramatic arts all her life, from belting out tunes in choir and musicals to her crowning achievement—a turn as Ado Annie in Oklahoma! In university, she swapped singing for witty repartee, acting in more sophisticated comedies before taking a sharp left into the world of education. These days, she occasionally haunts karaoke nights or sneaks onto stand-up comedy stages. While plotting her glorious stage comeback, she spends her time teaching students things they never wanted to know, reminding her son (for the third time) to do literally anything, and pondering the mysteries of life, ideally from the comfort of her couch.
