Mustard

Winner of the 2016 Dora Mavor Moore Award for outstanding new play!

Mustard shouldn’t still be here, but they are. Imaginary friends don’t normally stay with their person until that person is a troubled teenager and Imaginary friends certainly don’t suddenly become visible to their person’s mom and then go on a date with them, either. But Mustard is special, at least that’s what they think. A twisted fairy tale about friendship, moving on and finding magic where you least expect it.

MUSTARD premiered at the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto, ON, in February 2016.
MUSTARD is staged by arrangement with Emma Laird, GGA, ggagency.ca.

Featuring: Max McLarnon, Greg Murdoch, Lucy Charlton O’Connor, Josh Schroeder, Brenna Symanski, Carolyn Westberg
