Women at Play(s)

Women at Play(s) 2026 will take you on a journey from a young woman’s life changing discovery in New York in 1901 (Daddy’s Girl by Emma Donoghue) to tough life decisions for contemporary seniors in Vancouver (Aging in Place by Barbara Ellison) to a forest where nature and religion collide (The Mary Tree by Brenda Kamino). Seven new plays ponder beginnings (Waiting for Love by Lindsay Ellis), celebrate achievements (And the Oscar goes to… by Colleen Curran and The Circle by Rebecca Singh) and remember survivors (A Violation of Violets by Marni Walsh). Surprises, secrets and lies abound in stories that will make you laugh, cry, dream and think.
