A Baby For Andy is a one act drama play that follows the story of Andrew & Sam, a queer couple having to come to terms with a hidden dark secret a few months before their wedding. The PentaTheatre production is written and directed by Jason A. Downie, and will have its world premiere at the Guelph Fringe Festival on Thursday, August 4th, 2022.

In 2021,  PentaTheatre did “Two-headed Boy” also by Jason A. Downie, at the Minnesota virtual fringe festival. That same year they also did a virtual comedic play “Theatre Gods” by Jacob Wiley.

There aren’t plans to extend the run of A Baby For Andy beyond this as yet, so mark your calendars for one of the three show times below if you want to see this.

Thursday, August 4th: 8pm-9pm
