Today is Giving Tuesday - a global day of giving that encourages everyone to support the charities making a difference in their community.

If you're looking to take part in today's event, Buddies is a great choice. Your donation will help ensure we continue to offer theatre that provokes, motivates, and makes a difference.

You've got one more week to catch The Stronger Variations, which The National Post is calling, “a brilliantly executed piece of theatre”.

Set in the sumptuous world of the 1950’s, The Stronger Variations uses an intergenerational cast of five women to examine the many ways that feminine power, sisterhood, sexuality, compassion, and betrayal can express themselves. 

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7 | 8PM | TICKETS $15

Resident artists Independent Aunties are back this month, working on their show about queer icons Gertrude Stein and Alice B Toklas. They'll be sharing their work at two public showings on December 19 and 20.

The show, Gertrude and Alice, brings the women to life so they can find out how histroy has treated them, what has become of their cultural influence, and how they are remembered.

Tickets will be available at the door and are Pay-What-You-Can.
