Oh What A Season!
A Message from Artistic Director David Connolly
Hello theatre lovers!
We are thrilled to welcome you to another year of captivating performances, heartwarming storytelling, and unforgettable opportunities in and around our seven stages across Ontario. Whether you're a long-time supporter or a first-time visitor, we aim to provide an unforgettable theatre experience that results in lasting memories and celebrated family traditions.
From courtrooms to ballrooms, and school rooms to swamps, our eclectic 2025 Season features 21 productions – all carefully chosen because their stories will spark conversation, challenge perspectives, and connect us all through shared moments of joy, laughter, reflection, and discovery in the way that only live theatre can.
The following pages will guide you in planning and customizing your 2025 Drayton Experience. As always, the best way to save is with our popular subscriptions, or our multitude of Discount Dates. New this year, we are offering Post-Show Question & Answer panels at select performances, which present a unique opportunity to interact with our performers and learn more about the production. Look for these free sessions on the show calendars (marked as Q&A).
It is with great excitement and profound gratitude that I step into the role of Artistic Director for this remarkable, trailblazing theatre company. Under the continued guidance and mentorship of founder Alex Mustakas (who continues to oversee as CEO), I am filled with hopeful anticipation about the rich legacy of entertaining, thought-provoking stories we will continue to tell and the vibrant communities we will continue to build.
Your unwavering support and passion for the performing arts makes everything we do possible, and we can’t wait to share these exciting and inspiring stories with you. Together, let’s make 2025 a season to remember.
Warmly,
David Connolly
Artistic Director
