Puppet Island Inc presents
Award-winning puppeteer Jamie Shannon, co-creator of Nanalan’ and Mr. Meaty, has spent 30 years creating some of television’s strangest and most beloved characters — delighting children, terrifying them, sometimes both. Mixing live puppetry, comedy, video and brutally honest storytelling, Jamie takes you from his suburban childhood to cult TV, terrifying PSAs, Mr. Meaty, Nanalan’ and a career devoted to making impossible creatures feel alive. A funny, weird and surprisingly heartfelt show about childhood, imagination, fear — and why puppets might just save us.
Come for the trauma and laughs. Stay for the antidote.
At Eldritch Theatre’s Red Sandcastle

Eldritch Theatre Presents
In honour of the 100th anniversary of Lovecraft’s classic tale of cosmic horror!
A dumpy, middle aged call centre worker pieces together the disparate threads of an ancient, apocalyptic prophesy and soon becomes the only hope for humanity, as a dread, Elder God begins to awaken and end the world. Performed with Eldritch Theatre’s ghoulishly giddy blend of creepy puppets, dark parlour magic, and horrific high camp.
Created and performed by Eric Woolfe, with additional dialogue by HP Lovecraft
Designed by Melanie McNeill
Stage Managed by Sandi Becker

Riot King Presents
Radiant Vermin is a wickedly comedic satire about a young couple who are offered a way onto the property ladder that may turn out to be too good to be true. Through a whirlwind retelling of everything they’ve done to get their dream home, Ollie and Jill show us just how far we might go to build a better life for ourselves. Playful, provocative, and viciously sharp, this outrageous dark comedy comments on the housing crisis, homelessness, and what it really takes to support a family in today’s world. It will leave Toronto audiences shocked, thrilled, and feeling a little more connected to everyone who calls this city home.
November 12th – November 22nd, 2026
Eldritch Theatre Presents
For a limited Yuletide Engagment!
World renowned carnival magician and mystical soap pitchman presents the mostly true, actually sort of accurate, story of the Nutcracker Prince, as was originally envisioned by ETA Hoffman in the 1600s, and then completely re-imagined as an old time medicine show. Filled with yuletide parlour magic, bizarre puppets, and brazen holiday chicanery.
Brought to you by Buster Canfield’s Thaumaturgical Wonder Soap
Created and performed by Buster Canfield
At Eldritch Theatre’s Iconoclasic Red Sandcastle

December 22 – 24th, 2026
When Eldritch Theatre assumed management of the Red Sandcastle Theatre, its ghoulish minions began searching for a way to alert patrons about especially noteworthy, exciting, or ground breaking productions occurring in the space.
To this end, we too are proud to introduce the “Eldritch Eye”, an icon that patrons can see on a poster or social media post and know that a particular production or rental company is Eldritch approved and deserving of your attention. It’s the equivalent of two mummified thumbs up!
Q. “Are you wheelchair accessible?”
A. We have a ramp at our Queen Street entrance, with a manual door.
We also have the ability to remove chairs to make way for wheelchairs in our audience. Our first floor unisex washroom is also wheelchair compatible.
