We are proud to announce that our 2023 main stage production is the The Sorcerer, a spectacular comic opera not seen at McGill for 50 years!
When young Alexis comes to the mysterious magus John Wellington Wells seeking a potion to induce love at first sight, he unwittingly begins a descent into magically-induced chaos that ends up engulfing the entire unsuspecting village of Ploverleigh… and requires a terrible sacrifice to set right.
