Students from the University of Guelph School of Theatre, English, and Creative Writing will perform a new stage production titled WROL (Without Rule of Law) in Guelph, Ontario, on March 27-28, 2026. This performance serves as the final project for a group of fourth-year students who are managing every part of the show themselves.
Written by Canadian playwright Michaela Jeffery, the play is a dark comedy about a group of adolescent girls. The story follows characters who spend their time in a suburban garage making survival videos and preparing for a possible societal collapse because they do not trust adults to protect them.
As part of their final course, the students are responsible for all aspects of the performance, including the acting and stagecraft. This project gives the community a chance to see the work of local students before they finish their degrees and start their careers.
The play is often performed by student groups to look at themes like climate anxiety and how young people handle an uncertain future. Residents can visit the university during the last week of March to support these emerging local artists.
