A Stork Club Story

A STORK CLUB STORY

By Paul Regan & Brett McCaig

World Premiere

Big band music. First love. Second chances. And a letter that could change everything.

Set between the golden glow of a 1950s lakeside dance hall and the quiet shadows of an attic decades later, A Stork Club Story is a sweeping, funny, and deeply heartfelt new stage play about memory, music, and the moments that define a lifetime.

When an aging Mitch searches through the remnants of his past before selling the family home, long-buried memories come flooding back — transporting us to the vibrant heyday of the Stork Club, where swing ruled the dance floor and dreams were as big as the brass section. There, a young and impulsive trumpet player collides with a sharp-witted coat check girl who may just be the love of his life — if pride, rivals, ambition, and circumstance don’t get in the way.

With a colorful cast of small-town characters, rapid-fire comedy, and the pulse of live big band energy woven throughout, this original production dances effortlessly between past and present. At its heart lies a simple but powerful question: What do we hold onto when everything else is slipping away?

Filled with humor, nostalgia, and emotional resonance, A Stork Club Story celebrates the music that moves us, the risks that shape us, and the enduring power of love — even when memory falters.

Don’t miss the world premiere of this unforgettable new Canadian play — where the band is swinging, the stakes are high, and some stories are simply too important to forget.
