It’s a Plunderful Life promises to bring ‘some truly absurd and wonderful holiday cheer’ to Opera House stage on Dec. 7.
Burro’d Theatre is proud to present a one-night-only fundraiser holiday cabaret unlike any other; because it’s also about pirates!
It’s a Plunderful Life will feature a hearty crew of stunningly talented local performers from across Simcoe County on Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m. inside the Orillia Opera House Studio Theatre.
Packed from stem to stern with naughty-cal festive live music, dance, comedy, burlesque, and buccaneer mischief, audiences can expect big laughs, surprising performances, seasonal magic, and just enough pirate nonsense to make even the Grinch say “Yarrr that be too much pirate nonsense!”
It’s a Plunderful Life will be hosted by the Artistic Director of Burro’d Theatre (and two-time Pirate of the Year), Iain Moggach, also acting as a fundraiser for the theatre company’s 2027 productions and two local charities.
“We are so excited to bring our community some truly absurd and wonderful holiday cheer,” said Moggach. “The calibre of talent we have on deck to perform is incredible. It’s already shaping up to be a truly one-of-a-kind festive show!”
Artistic Producer of Burro’d Theatre, Marissa Caldwell, says It’s a Plunderful Life will bring together all the things she loves about Christmas (and pirates); “Doing what you can for your community is more important than ever, and we are proud to have this fundraiser support Christmas Cheer and Burro’d Theatre’s charitable partner Camphill Communities Ontario, as well as our 2027 projects.”
The cabaret variety show evening will feature performances from Mathew Magneson, Diva in the Rough (Catherine Hughes), Kristen Keller and local Improv Pros, A’Slayna Von Hunt, Tay & Archie Ballantyne, Heeling Steps, Nancy Chapple, Alyssa Bartholomew, Pumpkin Poundcake, Stephen Dobby, our very own North Simcoe Santa, and more.
Whether you love the holidays, comedy, cabaret, or supporting great causes, It’s a Plunderful Life promises a gleefully ridiculous variety night filled with yo-ho-ho-hos!
