The habitually single Robert is forced to question his adamant retention of bachelorhood during a hilarious array of interactions.

Masquerade Theatre seeks to unveil the roles, groups and beliefs that we hold fast and explore the humanity that lies beneath them.  Art is one of the rare forms of human expression that is relatable to all people and permits us to share a common experience with a group of strangers in an audience.  Theatre enables us to encounter circumstances and emotions through characters that move us and inspire us to think, react and learn.

Masquerade is dedicated to using theatre to enlighten, to help us bridge the issues that divide us and present pieces that will encourage us to remember one simple truth amongst the discord - our humanity.
