Frontmezzjunkies reports: The Launching of Here For Now’s First Winter Season
Here For Now‘s Winter Season will run from November 5 – December 24, 2025, on the Rose McQueen Stage at 24 St. Andrew Street, Stratford, ON.
This much-anticipated season features three extraordinary productions that blend myth, comedy, honesty, and holiday spirit, continuing HFN’s tradition of producing innovative, actor-driven Canadian theatre.
Pandora
Written and performed by Jessica B. Hill | Directed by Rodrigo Beilfuss
November 5–16, 2025 | Opening November 7
A mythic, metaphysical comedy from Stratford Festival favourite Jessica B. Hill. Pandora may have unleashed the world’s troubles, but in this smart and searching solo play, she also discovers unexpected connections between ancient myth and modern science, where quantum entanglement collides with the mysteries of being human.
Reproduktion (World Premiere)
Written by Amy Rutherford | Directed by Marie Farsi
November 19–30, 2025 | Opening November 21
Flora, desperate to become pregnant, undergoes an alternative fertility treatment in Sweden that sets off a startling transformation. By turns funny and moving, Amy Rutherford’s new dramatic comedy examines the primal desire to procreate—and what it means to create a life of meaning when that call goes unanswered.
Directed by Marie Farsi. Starring HFN Artistic Director Fiona Mongillo, alongside Maggie Huculak, Tyrone Savage, and Rylan Wilkie.
Ruby and the Reindeer (World Premiere)
Written by Mark Crawford | Directed by Irene Poole
December 10–24, 2025 | Opening December 12
From one of Canada’s most beloved playwrights comes a new Christmas comedy for the whole family. Set in 1989 Perth County, 12-year-old Ruby finds an unruly reindeer in her family’s barn. Her discovery sets off a rollicking adventure filled with secrets, holiday matchmaking, and – as always – the saving of Christmas.
Directed by Irene Poole. Starring Maev Beaty, Tabitha Campbell, Ijeoma Emesowum, Gordon Miller, and Benedict Campbell.
