The Living End (or Madame Winifred’s Circus Of Wonders) August 15-26, 2023 ~
Are you excited about the summer season yet?? We at Theatre on The Ridge certainly are! Today we are talking about our final show in the summer season – The Living End (or Madame Winifred’s Circus Of Wonders)!
The Living End will be created by Andy Massingham and the Summer Company and is about the painfully shy Winnie who discovers a trunk in her attic. Inside the trunk is a poster. A poster for the final performance of a traveling circus from a far-off time. Suddenly, the circus acts and performers come to life.
You won’t want to miss this so buy your tickets or passes through our box office at https://theatreontheridge.ca/shows/ we still have lots of wonderful ticket bundles that will help you save and see a summer full of theatre!
