A CHRISTMAS CAROL
By Charles Dickens
Adapted by Marc A. Moir (The Pilgrim's Progress)

The classic story of Ebenezer Scrooge; a stingy old humbug who is visited by 3 ghosts on Christmas Eve. As he journeys through his past, present, and future, Scrooge's heart is softened towards his fellow man.

We've curated this adaptation with the whole family in mind. Kids and parents alike will be delighted and captivated by this up-close, live, theatrical experience!
THE BELLEFONTAINE BRIDEGROOM
By Scot N. Moir (Treasure Island)
Synopsis
From Scot N. Moir, the playwright of "Dietrich & Maria" and "Treasure Island" comes a story based on the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea...
Piggy and Tiggy have been married for years. It's the classic thing where a man has fallen in love with an animate statue, and kept her in a glass box for hundreds of years, and everyone who comes into their home acts totally normal about it.
Things take a surprising turn when another woman shows up at their door, and is followed by an investigator, on the hunt for a killer...
What to expect
Audiences can expect to be delighted by this show. It's exceptionally funny. A bit odd. With a hint of murder mystery. And the ending is gonna get you right in the feels.
"The Bellefontaine Bridegroom" is the perfect night out for couples and friends, and is not recommended for children 12 and under.
MAID MARIAN
By Scot N. Moir (Treasure Island)
Synopsis
Maid Marian re-lives the adventures she shared with her beloved Robin Hood in the Sherwood Forest.
A One-Woman Show
Audiences will be treated to the incredible experience of a live, one-person show. Performed by Laura Kathleen Turner.
"Maid Marian" is recommended for adults and children alike.

About Looking Glass Theatre
Steinbach's Professional Theatre Company
🎭
Looking Glass Theatre got its start in Community Theatre, as "Looking Glass Productions". Our OG fans will remember the Fringe shows, the camp shows, the university shows, basically any opportunity we could get our hands on. Then, with 15 years of community theatre production behind us, we launched professionally in 2023.
🙋🏼🙋🏻♀️
The company was founded by Marc A. Moir and Laura Kathleen Turner. We both started as performers, and throughout the years have eagerly learned the necessary skills to take on show production. So now, we can take a single idea; write it, cast it, costume it, build the set, market it, and perform it at a professional level.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
But it's not just about making opportunities for ourselves. There are two other goals that have driven us from the beginning: To create shows that (1) audiences want to see, and (2) actors want to be part of.
😎
Basically, this means that we never choose shows for the sake of pushing an agenda. We find that sort of thing often dilutes the entertainment aspect of theatre, which we're not interested in doing. We think live theatre should be a fun, immersive experience that audiences can escape in to. If they want to pull out a "message" or "meaning" from the play, they totally can! But we're not going to beat you over the head with it.
🤩
And, you'll often see the same actors on stage throughout the season. This is intentional! We have found some of the best actors Manitoba has to offer, and we want to show off their versatility!
🪞
So there you have it! We are Steinbach's professional theatre company: Bringing fun and exciting live theatre to Steinbach, Morden, and Winnipeg, by holding up a mirror (or, "looking glass") to the human experience, and putting a spotlight on all the beauty to be found there.
