E. Nesbit’s much-loved classic, The Railway Children, has delighted generations since its first publication in 1906 and Mike Kenny’s wonderfully faithful and imaginative adaptation takes audiences young and old alike on an enchanting journey of imagination and reality.
When Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis move to rural Yorkshire with their mother following the imprisonment of their father, they are forced to face the anxieties and exhilarations of growing up in order to learn what really matters. A story of Edwardian England on the brink of change - a world that is insecure and hard, but one filled with love, resilience and humanity - and always running through it is the railway, in particular the 9.15 to London…
Directed by Charlotte Loeppky and Harold Squire, The Railway Children runs for 9 shows April 21-30 at the historic Lantern Church in Calgary's Inglewood district.
Matinees at 2pm, evening shows at 7pm. This show is suitable for families with children ages 8 and up.
Tickets are available online via our website and the Morpheus Theatre Box Office.

A HUNDRED WORDS FOR SNOW by Tatty Hennessy
“Tatty Hennessy’s play A HUNDRED WORDS FOR SNOW is about being an explorer in a melting world. It’s a coming-of-age story. With polar bears. An epic and undulating story that pitches themes of death and rebirth against a shifting backdrop of climate change, exploration and the uncertain geography of the North.”

A Black Woman. A prairie sky. The Ponoka County Fair.

An adventure! A fantasy! A WHOLE LOTTA JOKES!
Unscripted and beaming with palpable joy, award winning actor and playwright Makambe K Simamba traces her colourful background through Zambia all the way to the Cayman Islands. Where she chose to settle? Alberta, Canada! Why?
Well, she’s still not really sure... But after a decade of life in the “Texas of Canada” she figures it’s time to find out.
Makambe Speaks is an exploration, a provocation, and a deconstruction of the age-old question, “Where are you from?”
A 90-minute, one-woman stand-up comedy show with a host of original musical theatre numbers (and a little bit of twerking), Makambe Speaks is a delight in intimate theatres and cabaret environments.

Jack and Maurice have been together for decades. As they approach old age, and they change more every year, the one thing they will always have in common is the number of funerals they attended together. So many, in fact, that they can make jokes about it.
10 Funerals revisits the immediate aftermaths of some of the more moving, inspirational, or hilarious funerals they survived, telling the story of their lives together by remembering the many deaths they mourned. Playwright Darrin Hagen once again turns his comic eye towards his most potent source of inspiration: death.
A world premiere by Edmonton’s own guy in disguise.

The show takes place in the Tower of London where Colonel Fairfax is wrongly accused of sorcery and sentenced to death within the hour. Fairfax hatches a plan to secretly marry a strolling singer, who now expects to be a wealthy widow upon Fairfax’s imminent demise, leaving her free to marry her lover, the jester Jack Point. However, Fairfax miraculously escapes his fate and chaos ensues.

The year is 1938 and newly laid-off perfumier Mary Hayes is trying to break into the male dominated world of newspaper journalism. Editor-in-Chief, Bosco Godfrey sets a competition between his egotistical star reporter Jeff Kincaid and plucky Mary, assigning them to cover a society wedding. The best storywriter gets the job.

This classic work faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting, never-to-be-forgotten Narnia. This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.

Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth – the butler, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out…WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!

Directed by Cyndi Wagner.

In this funny and fierce play, an Indigenous man, Arthur Copper, has taken it upon himself to repopulate the nearby lakes with wild rice. The local non-Indigenous cottagers, Maureen Poole in particular, are NOT impressed. Based on real-life events in Ontario's Kawartha Lakes region, the story infuses contemporary conflicts between Indigenous and non-Indigenous sensibilities with Drew Hayden Taylor's characteristic warmth and humour.
