After a sold out run at Toronto Fringe, POZ is back for one week in Toronto, on stage April 22 to 27, 2025. POZ is a ten year journey that takes you through the highs and lows of what it means to be a person living with HIV today. On an epic bike ride from Toronto to Montreal, Mark comes to terms with his status, relationships, and whether or not he’ll cross the finish line.

Warning: language, sexual situations, drug use, flashing lights and discussions of HIV.

Produced by Theatre Topikos, which was established in 2014 by Nick May and Jess Bryson to produce their first show Wordplay for Toronto’s Gay Play Day festival at the Alumnae Theatre. Wordplay has since been performed at the Bad Dog Theatre, Toronto’s One More Night Festival, the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In Dublin, the show was nominated for Best New Writing and Jess Bryson was nominated for Best Female Performance. 

In 2017, Theatre Topikós produced a series of events called Shit Show: A Queer Comedy Night, which featured a rotating cast of standup, improv and burlesque performers.

5 Guys Chillin’ by Peter Darney is the collective’s standout production; performed at Toronto’s Kensington Hall in November 2017. The show was later remounted at the 2018 Guelph Sexuality Conference.

In 2021 Theatre Topikós began producing the Toronto Queer Theatre Festival!
