The Brotherhood

What does it take to become a Brother?

Two magicians seek to become the first women members of the prestigious Worldwide
Brotherhood of Wizardry, which promises to catapult them into success.

You’re attending the performance that is their audition to join the boy’s club.

Presented as a live-in-real-time magic show, The Brotherhood provides a feminist commentary on the performance industry, and the expectations placed upon performers and audiences alike.

This play is currently in development, as a part of Theatre Passe Muraille’s 2025-26 Buzz In-Development Series.

For our 2026 workshop with Theatre Passe Muraille, Spicy Day engages under the terms of the INDIE 3.0, professional Artists who are members of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association.

Reviews

“Spicy Day theatre company manages to take the audience on such an unexpected journey that is simultaneously fun and yet incredibly poignant.” – New Ottawa Critics

“Bradford-Lea and Welchner are clearly both experienced performers, they’re having fun on stage, and their raunchy humour gets consistent laughs (even in a small space, which can be very challenging for comedy).” – Apt613

“It’s another strong offering from two local female performers who have a very strong and defined perspective.” – New Ottawa Critics
