It’s the classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode “Once More, With Feeling” live!

When a smooth-talking, soft-shoeing demon arrives in Sunnydale, compelling the entire town to sing and dance, everyone begins blurting out their deepest and darkest secrets… in song! Singing? Dancing around? What’s gonna be wrong with that? But this curse carries a lethal catch: if these melodies go on too long, the dancing turns to literal spontaneous combustion! Chaos ensues and before you know it Buffy’s teenage sister Dawn has been kidnapped! Must be Tuesday. With thrills, chills, heartbreak, and romance, “Once More, With Feeling” is must-have 90s nostalgia! Live!

Come and join us for a special preview performance of the work in progress.

Whose Step..? is an interactive dance-theatre experience that blends choreography, scripted drama, and live improvisation. As performers face creative battles shaped by audience input, they challenge themselves to compose in the moment. Through movement, storytelling, and unexpected encounters, competing artists connect, resulting in a dance that celebrates both individual expression and collective creativity.

When a non-descript University’s development plans involve the destruction of all “degenerate” and “unnecessary” clubs and societies, Frat-Star Ray Rhiner (Nathan Mannion) and his house of ‘frat boy outcasts’ must team up with “Theater Dad” Oliver Keaton (Blake Sartin) and his underdog squad of the theatre department in order to save their home, and maybe, experience a little culture (and romance) on the way. Written by Annahis Basmadjian, Sigma Acapella revisits the true, wholesome meaning of “boys being boys” and the endearingly unhinged quality of theatre kids. It brings a classic, playful story of fighting for one’s right to exist and create art into the modern musical world with sharp, witty dialogue, live music, and a vibrant cast of characters. 

Rushed is are also thrilled to include Featured Understudy Shows, performances dedicated to showcase all the alternate cast’s hard work! The joy of theatre is in the unique qualities of each individual actor, so our Understudy Shows are a great opportunity to see Sigma Acapella in a whole new flavour!

Content Warning: This show contains strong language, depictions of alcohol, stage combat and flashing lights.
