The Theatre Centre has announced its first show of 2025—a week-long run of the hilariously inventive, critically-acclaimed play MONKS, created and performed by Veronica Hortigüela and Annie Luján.

Following a sold out run at the Toronto Fringe Festival, a remount at Crow’s Theatre, and a spot on Intermission Magazine’s list of top theatre picks of 2024, this cult (forgive us, Father) favourite returns for seven performances at The Theatre Centre from February 26 to March 2. If you haven’t yet made a visit to MONKS, now is the time.

“Are you there God? It’s us, MONKS.” The medieval monks who reside in a hilltop Spanish monastery live in total isolation…but when the Abbot ventures into town, two Brothers take the opportunity to invite a wagon full of strangers to their austere abode. Join the monks in a shockingly-dumb interactive clown show, featuring magical realism, live music, unbridled chaos, and every interpretation of the word ‘ass’.
