Northern Light Theatre's 2026-2027 season, their 51st, features three plays about characters at a crossroads in their lives: turns that they could never have expected. The first production explores a woman who has been unceremoniously diverted off the path she had planned for her life and finds herself having to start over. The second play centres on two young men at the beginning of their journey into adulthood… with no clear plan laid out for them.

The Seed Paintings by Jim Macgregor opens at Bay 1 Gallery on May 22.
