JOB The Play

By Max Wolf Friedlich

September 11-21, 2025 | The Berney Theatre

“A chic, relentless Broadway thriller.”

After a viral workplace incident, Jane finds herself on mandatory leave from her Big Tech job. Her return hinges on sessions with a therapist - one who suspects her job may be more harmful than helpful. A razor-sharp psychological thriller about ambition, burnout, and the digital forces shaping our lives.

From Broadway to Berney, this gripping two-hander marks the season’s electrifying start.

Max Wolf Friedlich is a Jewish American playwright who made his Broadway debut in 2024 with JOB.

The Right Road to Pontypool - A Reading

Written by Alex Poch-Goldin

November 22-23, 2025 | The Berney Theatre

In the early 20th century, Moishe Yukle Bernstein built rustic cottages in Pontypool, Ontario and unknowingly sparked a Jewish cultural phenomenon. With humour, heart, and original music, this staged reading brings to life a lesser-known chapter of Jewish Canadian history, where 2,500 Jews gathered every summer in a Protestant town.

An ode to memory, community, and the places that shape us.
