We're back! Drama Club's been taking it easy over the summer, but now that September has rolled around, it's back to school (ew, as if!) and back to the theatre. Not that theatre picks up and leaves town for the summer the way it used to. Sure, most of the playhouses go on hiatus, but between Fringe, SummerWorks, Luminato, and independent productions, there's always something you can go see. Which brings us to Soulpepper, a local oddity in its decision to program a February–December season, rather than a September–May one. The poor ushers at the Young Centre barely had any cottage time at all this year, what with the summertime productions of Loot, Awake and Sing!, Of the Fields, Lately, and Billy Bishop Goes to War.

The last time Birdland Theatre's production of The Last Days of Judas Iscariot came through town, it won five Doras and the reputation of being "the best show nobody saw." With only five performances at The Distillery District's enticingly named Fermenting Cellar, there wasn't much of a chance to. This time around, they doubled the number of performances, but sadly, this still doesn't mean a very long run, and if you didn't make the trip to Mill Street and Parliament last night, you missed your last chance at catching this fabulous show.

Each week, we take a look at Toronto's theatre scene and tell you which shows are worth checking out.

Theatre in Toronto doens't get much better than the current Soulpepper remount of their successful 2001-2002 production of Uncle Vanya, on at the Young Centre until Saturday.
