The Shoplifters
Tuesday, March 2, 2027 – Sunday, March 28, 2027
7:30 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.
Tarragon Theatre — Extraspace
Get ready for a masterclass in dark comedy as Morris Panych’s *The Shoplifters* takes over the Tarragon Theatre’s Extraspace. The play introduces us to Alma, a seasoned career criminal who treats petty theft not just as a means to an end, but as a lifestyle philosophy that outranks any seniors' day discount.
Running at the Annex's beloved institutional theatre at 30 Bridgman Ave, Panych's signature witty dialogue and incisive social commentary examine the absurdities of modern survival and human connection in the unlikeliest of places. Known for writing that balances sharp laughs with surprising vulnerability, Panych crafts a world where a five-finger discount speaks volumes about a person's inner life.
Whether you are a longtime subscriber to Tarragon’s boundary-pushing season or looking to dive into Toronto's vibrant theatre scene, this production promises an engaging evening out. Make an early evening of it by grabbing dinner at one of the neighbourhood spots along Dupont Street before heading over to the theatre's intimate Extraspace. Tickets are available through the Tarragon Theatre box office.
