“I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all.”

Young Will Shakespeare has writer’s block, that is, until he finds his muse… the feisty, brilliant and beautiful Viola. This crafty young woman will stop at nothing (including breaking the law) to appear in his next play. Against a bustling background of mistaken identity, ruthless scheming and backstage theatrics, Will’s love for Viola quickly blossoms, inspiring him to write his greatest romantic masterpiece.

Say Yes! is the joyful antidote we all need to the current cocktail of global anxiety, isolation, and profound uncertainty. It’s a brand-new musical production by three veteran performers who, facing down the often lonely, surprisingly challenging spaces created by retirement (and post-pandemic angst), joined forces out of an unstoppable desire to fill the void with music, humour, and connection.
Say Yes! is a funny, yet poignant walk through the post-retirement loose ends of life – punctuated by relevant show-stopping tunes that audiences will recognize and relate to. Inspired by their own adventures in retirement, i.e. “how to get a life post-career”, Sara Partridge, Susan Smitten and Jim Hill get personal – and punchy – as they sing their way through the ups and the downs of ageing in our current cultural zeitgeist.
As we all crave more genuine connection and real experiences, join this trio for a timely trip through the maze and haze of growing older, with an opportunity to say yes to more of what life has to offer.

A musical celebration of the mating game.

Told in a series of vignettes and songs, this hilarious revue, updated in 2018, tackles modern love in all its forms – from the perils and pitfalls of the first date, to marriage, children, and the twilight years of life. This show is for everyone who has loved and lost, fallen on their face at the portal of romance, or dared to ask, “Hey, what are you doing Saturday night?”

James Mullinger was one of the UK’s hardest working comedians and the Comedy Editor for GQ magazine when he moved to New Brunswick in 2014. Since his arrival, he has taken the country by storm. He has sold out shows across the country, made appearances on CBC’s The Debaters, movies, television shows, festivals, award shows and stand-up specials… he’s done it all. In May 2022, James Mullinger’s autobiography Brit Happens – Living the Canadian Dream was released to rave reviews and quickly topped the Amazon Comedy Book Charts! He was recently named one of the Most Inspiring Immigrants in Atlantic Canada and earlier this year released New Brunswick’s first ever national sitcom about, you guessed it, a British comedian who accidentally moves to New Brunswick!

“A great stand up.” Jimmy Carr

“James Mullinger masterfully straddles the line between the objective and inclusive, culturally and geographically. He gently pokes us with a stick while being one of us.” Jonathan Torrens
