PADDINGTON GETS IN A JAM Begins Toronto Run April 18

Jonathan Rockefeller's NY Times Critic's Pick Paddington Gets in a Jam will head to Toronto's Lower Ossington Theatre, ahead of its Canadian tour following its critically acclaimed run at New York's DR2 Theatre on March 8, 2020. Paddington Gets in a Jam will also be launching its National Tour beginning this September (dates and venues TBA) for more information, visit, PaddingtonGetsInAJam.com.

In Jonathan Rockefeller's Paddington Gets in a Jam, Paddington goes next door to borrow a cup of sugar from his neighbor Mr. Curry, who is in a panic because he's expecting a visit from his Great Aunt Matilda. And so, Paddington volunteers to help Mr. Curry with his to-do list before her imminent arrival.

Throughout the afternoon Paddington attempts items on the list - repair the pipes in the bathroom, vacuum the floors, install new wallpaper, bake a cake.... But in typical Paddington fashion, nothing goes to plan. The pipes burst and flood the bathroom. The vacuum cleaner misbehaves and leaves dust everywhere. Paddington adds too much self-rising flour to the cake and his efforts at wallpapering turn into catastrophic (and sticky) chaos!

Will Paddington be able to fix everything before Great Aunt Matilda arrives?
