The Virgin, Mary
April 30th - May 3rd, 2026
In 1994, lesbians Mary and Jo travel from their hometown in rural Newfoundland to the ruins of the Temple of Hera in Samos, Greece. Although Jo believes they have taken this journey for the sake of studying for her oh-so-important archaeological dissertation, Mary has a different plan- to pray to the goddess Hera for a biological child. Unable to adopt or marry, this baby is Mary’s last chance to prove that her and Jo can be a “real family.” However, Hera has other plans, and the trio are thrust into a confrontation that forces them to reckon with the definitions of family, faith and the miracle of love.
