Something Rotten! Musical Theatre
GNAG Community Theatre is thrilled to present Something Rotten!
Theatre is always a risky business. Shakespeare is a rockstar. Literally. And his rivals? Two struggling playwrights who are desperate for a hit until a slightly offbeat soothsayer predicts the future of theatre: Tragedy with singing! Comedy with dancing! Wait… what? A musical? A show set in the 1590s with the energy, comedy, and music of the 21st century!
Something Rotten! is a laugh-out-loud mashup of Elizabethan costume drama, Broadway razzle-dazzle, and Monty Python-style madness — with a joyful shuffle-step through Annie, Jesus Christ Superstar, and all your favourite musicals.
Stratford is also putting on Something Rotten! this year after only having produced it in 2024. Stratford almost never repeats a play this quickly but clearly it’s because it’s an amazingly funny and clever show. But you could see it here first!
- Child (under 12 years): $28+ ticketing fees
- Adult: $38+ ticketing fees
- Student (12+) / Senior (65 +): $33+ ticketing fees
This musical is PG-13 — There are lots of jokes that are double entendre that will be picked up by grown-ups, but not by children. It’s bawdy but not rated R, just the jokes are on a more adult level, so it won’t be nearly as funny for kids.

Glebe Halloween Village 2025 – Free Accessible Trick-or-Treating – October 18, 2025
Come join us at the second annual Glebe Halloween Village for a fun and free daytime trick-or-treating event that everyone can enjoy!
If you or your loved one have ever missed out on Hallowe’en because of your access needs, we want to welcome you to the second annual Glebe Halloween Village!
Please feel free to reach out to us with any specific access concerns or questions (glebehalloweenvillage@gmail.com). We want this event to be fun and comfortable for as many people as possible.
An enthusiastic group of volunteer neighbours and community members are delighted to present the Glebe Halloween Village again this year!
This event is perfect for families looking for a fun and accessible Halloween experience.
Head over to Glebe Avenue (between Lyon Street and Bank Street) on Saturday, October18th, 2025 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. for a memorable experience filled with treats, costumes, and community spirit. (Rain Date Sunday, October 19th, 2025)
The block will be transformed into a free, accessible daytime trick-or-treating experience with so many things to see and do:
- treat stations at the ends of driveways (with food and non-food treats)
- visitors from The League of Superheroes
- a make-and-take craft station
- a Flow Recreation Therapy regulation station
- so many kind and welcoming neighbours of all ages!
We look forward to welcoming children (and those young at heart) with mobility, sensory, or intellectual disabilities who may not typically get to participate in trick or treating!
We will be collecting donations at the event for anyone who is interested. You can donate to the Glebe Halloween Village and our future events because, from the interest in this event, we know we need to do more in the future! You can also donate to the Ottawa Food Bank because people in our community are facing hunger.
