By Chloé Hung

Unfortunately, this production has been postponed to 2025.  For more information on upcoming TBTB events,  click here.

This world premiere by Dora-nominated playwright Chloé Hung is a fictional story set in 2016, during the emotional closing of Barrie Central Collegiate. The play follows five friends who return for this final event, prompting them to reflect on the past and ponder their futures as well as that of the city of Barrie.

Whether you went to Barrie Central or not, the play’s themes of love, friendship, and the paths not taken, will be certain to resonate in this touching story.

Playwright Chloé Hung shares, “‘If I Only…’ began as a story about revisiting the past, but evolved into a play that explores what lies ahead for these friends and for Barrie itself. It’s been an amazing journey collaborating with Iain Moggach and TBTB. I’m so excited to share this story set in a significant moment of Barrie’s recent history with our community.”

There will be a playwright and director talk back held after the September 7th matinee, and an artist talk back after the September 8th matinee.
