In a world built for men, women create community.
Within the magical walls of a living sanctuary, situated in neither time nor place, Lady and Tilly work tirelessly and secretly to support all women in need as they appear at their door. Imperfect themselves, our protagonists discover what it means to do good in a world of complicated nuance.
Toronto Fringe veterans Laura Piccinin, Allison Wither and Cass Van Wyck, together with 14 artists, present the new Canadian musical, "Apothecary"; a magical and timeless sanctuary for all women in need, no matter when they're from.

Sensory description
“Apothecary” audiences can expect a 10-person cast with a live band to play music that resembles the folk-style musical, “Once”. The show is a lively, contemporary musical filled with women’s voices (amplified by personal head mics), accompanied by keyboard, cello, guitar, violin, and bass guitar. Audiences can expect predictable sound and lighting cues (no jump-scares, strobe lighting, loud sudden sounds etc.) and staging that bleeds into the audience but does not involve or invade the personal space of audience members.
The show can be enjoyed by patrons who are sighted and/or blind/vision impaired.
