February 3rd to March 1st – Summer and Smoke
Summer Smoke is a Crow’s Theatre and Soulpepper Theatre Co-production in Association with Birdland Theatre
SYNOPSIS
In a small town in the heat of summer—under the wings of an angel—Alma Winemiller, minister’s daughter, meets John Buchanan, the reckless and intoxicating doctor next door.
As summer deepens—and their longing for one another intensifies—desire, duty, and convention collide, dangerously blurring the line between passion and ruin.
Blistering, poetic, and rapturous, this rarely-staged 20th-century masterpiece is Tennessee Williams at his most heart-rending.

Set in 1930s Budapest, She Loves Me follows Amalia and Georg, two parfumerie clerks who aren’t quite the best of friends. Constantly bumping heads while on the job, the sparring coworkers can’t seem to find common ground. But little do they know the anonymous pen pals they’ve both been falling for are…each other! Will love continue to blossom once their identities are finally revealed?
It’s an intimate and touching show with an endearing innocence and a touch of old-world elegance. Based on Miklós László’s play Parfumerie, it has inspired many adaptations, including The Shop Around The Corner with Jimmy Stewart and You’ve Got Mail starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.
