Ducks, Drama, and Destiny: Perth Theatre’s Must-See Weekend
Get ready for a quacking good time at Studio Theatre Perth! This October, we’re serving up not one, not two, but three delicious theatrical treats: two one-act plays and a brand-new film from the Perth Youth Players.
First up, Jean Lenox Toddie’s A Little Something for the Ducks. Two widowed seniors meet by a pond, and what begins as an argument over duck-feeding rules quickly evolves into a tender, funny meditation on aging, companionship, and life’s small pleasures. Joanna McAuley-Treffers and Martin Treffers spar, flirt, and philosophize in a performance that proves you’re never too old for second chances—or chicken livers.
Then, David Mamet’s Duck Variations puts George and Emil on a park bench with nothing but ducks and opinions. Their birdwatching banter spirals into a sharp, hilarious, and oddly profound riff on life, death, and the baffling beauty of existence. Mamet’s crackling dialogue takes flight—by the end, you’ll never look at ducks the same way again.
And as a bonus? Perth Youth Players present The Prophecy, a film created, written, and performed by the town’s rising stars.
Catch the magic Oct. 16–19. Tickets at ticketsplease.ca or email boxoffice@studiotheatreperth.com.
The Lion in Winter
- Nov 27-30 & Dec 4-7
November 27,28 & Dec 4,5 @ 7.30pm
November 29,30 & Dec 6,7 @ 2pm
It’s Christmas,1183 with drama and comedy afoot. The Plantagenet family is getting together to fight over a kingdom and a beautiful teen-age paramour. As Queen Eleanor says, “Every family has its ups and downs”, and this royal family is no exception. King Henry retorts “It’s going to be a jungle of a day: if I start growling now, I’ll never last.” Eleanor and Henry’s three juvenile sons are vying and scheming for the crown, willing to do anything to get it, whilst a likewise young King of France skulks around the castle in order stirring the pot of their discontent. A Christmas helping of wit, bristling humor, intrigue and dungeons.

Struggling to sell his first novel and slightly adrift after his parents’ divorce, writer Ashish (Saamer Usmani) is thrown for several loops when he falls for barista Claire (Amy Forsyth) and learns his estranged father has just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. With charming, complicated characters, this Canadian fiction feature from Amar Wala is an ode to the polyglot nature of big cities and the people who live there.
Canadian Press / CityNews
“Scarborough’s ‘Shook’ captures life on Toronto’s edges”
- Detailing personal experience—losing a parent to Parkinson’s—added emotional resonance.
- The film offers a quiet commentary on class and cultural divides in the Greater Toronto Area.
- Celebrated as part of a broader trend of cinematic stories rooted in Scarborough’s lived reality.

EXCLUSIVE PRESHOW EVENT for FILM CLUB FRIDAY TICKET HOLDERS
It’s late April 1975 and the Communist North Vietnamese army has entered the city and thousands are desperate to flee. Mui is nine months pregnant with Anh and they are on the roof of the American embassy. Her husband and two-year-old son are also there hoping to escape on a helicopter. When the last US Marine Chopper lifts off, they are still stranded on the roof
What transpires over the next three weeks is an improbable and remarkable sequence of events. The family escapes on the Truong Xuan, the last Cargo ship to leave Saigon; Anh’s birth on that boat two days later as it begins to sink; a Danish freighter, the Clara Maersk that comes to their rescue; a British Royal Air Force helicopter that also comes to their rescue; a refugee camp in Hong Kong where they meet Canadian immigration officers; and lastly their emigration to Canada. 50 years later – mother, daughter and other key protagonists connected to their story, including the helicopter crewman and the Canadian immigration officer meet in Montreal to reconstruct how it happened and who they’ve become today. Anh calls it “bringing together all the pieces of her survival puzzle – a reconciliation of the past and present”.
