A new season is starting, and once again we are partnering with an artist for every show. Come see the stunning documentary photography of @randallromano for our first production "Venus in Fur". Randall sees the world in two different and equally important perspectives: a fast-paced documentary style that captures moments of people and daily events as they unfold, and secondly a more slow-paced connection, basking in the beauty of nature and slowly making careful compositions of expressive beauty. You can find his bi-weekly photography articles on Substack or view his portfolio at www.randallromano.com "Venus in Fur" by David Ives opens September 18th. Tickets are available at www.peterboroughtheatreguild.com/upcoming-plays/venus-in-fur or through the box office at 705.745.4211

Running September 18 to October 3, 2026, Venus in Fur is directed by Lisa Dixon and produced by Kym Hyde. This bold, two-person production invites audiences into what appears to be a simple audition—but quickly evolves into a mesmerizing contest of power, performance, and perception. When an actress arrives unexpectedly to audition for a new adaptation of a classic novel, an exhausted director reluctantly agrees to hear her read. What follows is anything but ordinary. As the rehearsal unfolds, the boundaries between actor and character begin to dissolve, shifting the balance of power in surprising and provocative ways. Equal parts psychological thriller, dark comedy, and theatrical puzzle, Venus in Fur keeps audiences guessing until its unforgettable conclusion. Winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play and nominated for Best Play, David Ives' modern classic has earned widespread critical acclaim for its brilliant dialogue, emotional complexity, and fearless exploration of storytelling, identity, and control.

Beyond the stage, Marion is an accomplished pianist and organist who sings with and conducts several community choirs.

Wayne Robinson is being honoured in the Entertainment category for his contributions to the arts and has also performed on the PTG stage in select productions over the years.

RESERVE YOUR TICKETS for this eloquent, compelling Staged Reading! Quiet in the Land by Anne Chislett Sunday, May 10 @ 1:30 PM Tickets: $15 A young man from an Amish community in Ontario chafes at the strict beliefs of his elders. As WWI rages in Europe, he defies his community’s pacifist convictions by enlisting, alienating himself to family and friends. When he returns, the very acts of bravery that made him a hero to the rest of Canada have turned him into a villain to his own people. WHAT IS A STAGED READING? A staged reading strips theatre back to its essentials: though there is no elaborate set, actors fully bringing the story to life right in front of you. With scripts in hand, they move, react, and connect, creating an experience that is often surprisingly powerful. It’s a lively (and cheap) way to spend a Sunday afternoon: great storytelling, compelling performances, and a chance to stay for a Q&A with the director to unpack the play's evocative themes.

The reviews are in - opening weekend was alive! The electrifying adaptation of Mel Brooks' monstrously funny film will leave you in stitches. Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced "Fronk-en-steen") inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced "Eye-gore"), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds. With such memorable tunes as "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' on the Ritz," Young Frankenstein is scientifically proven, monstrously good entertainment.

Our curated art exhibitions is ready for the opening of Young Frankenstein! M-A Johnston showcases works from her Wild Cards and Loose Canons series in the patron spaces. "The characters in this series have randomly showed up out of a crazy abstract experiment. As I fleshed them out, I recognized that they were somehow connected to my analyst training at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zűrich which included studies in alchemy and mythology. This series has a playful take on impenetrable theory and also, it has allowed me to metabolize my feelings concerning the climate crisis and lesser but pesky problems arising out of our many human foibles. My characters agonize over alchemical/psychoanalytic theory or they wonder why the experiment took such a shocking turn. Seen or unseen, there is always an animal observer marvelling at the human capacity to shoot ourselves in the foot while clutching some belief or theory in a death grip. Indeed, the animals seem to hold the sensible standpoint." You can view her wonderful pieces for free during box office hours or while attending the musical show Young Frankenstein.

Hometown playwright Dave Carley returns to the Peterborough Theatre Guild with Midnight Madness. Dave Carley’s first play (and only musical) was O Susanna, produced by the Peterborough Theatre Guild in 1979. The experience was so gratifying that Dave has been writing for theatre ever since. As with Midnight Madness, his work has often been set in Peterborough (thinly disguised as ‘Ashburnham’) and is populated by a variety of equally thinly-disguised Peterburians…This past year has been one of Dave’s busiest, with productions of his works at theatres and festivals in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, St Louis, and a number of other US and UK cities. Dave’s next production is his adaptation of Farley Mowat’s war memoir, And No Birds Sang, which premieres in August at Port Hope’s Capitol Theatre. He is also the Curator of that town’s annual 10-Minute Play Festival, where he has been delighted to produce works by a number of Peterborough writers – which in 2026 will include D’Arcy Jenish, Wyatt Lamoureux and the Guild’s very own Bea Quarrie. www.davecarley.com Feb. 27 - March. 14 SHOW DETAILS Dates: Fri, Feb 27th: 7:30 pm Opening Night * Sat, Feb 28th: 7:30 pm * Sun, March 1st: 1:30 pm Matinee Thu, March 5th: 7:30 pm Fri, March 6th: 7:30 pm Sat, March 7th: 7:30 pm Sun, March 8th: 1:30 pm Matinee Thu, March 12th: 7:30 pm Fri, March 13th: 7:30 pm Sat, March 14th: 7:30 pm Closing Night *Special pricing: 2-for-1 CODE: Madness We’re offering a special deal for Feb 27th and 28th.

Midnight Madness A witty, heartfelt comedy by Canadian playwright Dave Carley Peterborough, ON - Canadian playwright and Peterborough native Dave Carley brings his signature wit and sharp social insight to Midnight Madness, a fast-paced and entertaining exploration of the unexpected turns that can change a life. Set just minutes before midnight on the final night of Bloom’s Furniture’s going-out-of-business sale, Midnight Madness unfolds in the store’s upstairs bed department. Wesley, the department manager, is closing up for the very last time - alone, overlooked, and facing the end of a career that never quite lived up to his hopes. Then a blast from his past comes charging up the stairs. When Anna Bregner arrives in Wesley’s lonely domain, she has no idea the salesman is a former classmate. Wesley, however, remembers her all too well - he has kept tabs on all his former classmates. Anna, despite early setbacks, has put herself through law school and returned home to Ashburnham to begin her legal career. Her fresh start collides poignantly with the end of Wesley’s. As the night unfolds, Anna and Wesley revisit the humiliating high school events that drove them both away before graduation. Together, they discover that some burdens can finally be let go.
