Alice in Wonderland (July 12 – 22)
Adapted by David Savoy
After a sold-out run in 2021, as well as seven Dora nominations and two wins (Outstanding Performance by an Individual & the Jon Kaplan Audience Choice Award), Alice in Wonderland will make a spectacular return to Guild Park before touring to theatres across the province.
Three Men in a Boat (July 27 – August 13)
Adapted by Mark Brownell
Award-winning writer/director team Mark Brownell and Sue Miner present a hilarious adaptation of Jerome K. Jerome’s classic Victorian satire. Join our three intrepid bachelors Jay, George, and Harris (and their dog) as they spend a disastrous weekend punting up the river Thames.
The Drowning Girls (August 17 – 27)
By Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson and Daniela Vlaskalic
A true crime story about three brides with a gruesome connection: they were all married to and murdered by the same man. Hauntingly poetic and unnervingly playful, this award-winning play will bring a touch of mystery to the Greek Theatre.
Tickets: $20-$30
Multi-show Passes: $50-$70
Alice in Wonderland Family Pass: $90
