About
Falling Iguana Theatre is a physical theatre company based out of Toronto, Ontario. Our original productions are collectively created, and feature character-driven stories told largely through movement.
Falling Iguana Theatre would like to acknowledge that the land on which we operate is the traditional unceded territory of the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat. We are honoured and grateful to be able to live, work and create art on these lands.

Dawn hasn’t yet cracked on the Boston horizon. It is March 18, 1990, and at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, something is afoot that will go down in history as one of the world’s most successful and notorious art heists. But right now, it is quiet, save for two police officers, heading this way… In this rip-roaring piece of speculative historical dramedy, co-creators Alexa Higgins and Ian Goff invigorate the heist genre with slapstick antics and a constantly shuffling cast of colourful characters. Featuring performances from Jilly Hanson, Neomi Iancu Haliva, Jean-Michel Cliche, Ian Goff, and Alexa Higgins
July 22-25, 7:30 p.m., at Theatre New Brunswick’s Open Space Theatre. Tickets will be available at the door for 20$ regular, 15$ senior/student/underwaged. Limited seating available. Contact dev.rockwell19@unb.ca to reserve tickets.
