A Public Display of Affections at Crow's Theatre

Mixing history, comedy, and poignant reflection in equal measure, A Public Display of Affection excavates the lives, loves, and landmarks of Jonathan Wilson’s life as a queer teenager in Toronto.

Deftly inhabiting a cavalcade of characters, Wilson leads us on a wry and intimate exploration of the Village he once knew, the legacy it created, and the future being forged by a new generation.

Jonathan Wilson is the show’s playwright and performer, directed by Mark McGrinder (Four Minutes Twelve Seconds). 

In the show, Wilson (The Lion King, The Normal Heart, Gay for Pay with Blake & Clay), a Second City veteran and Dora Award-winning actor has crafted a bracing companion piece to his Dora-nominated, playwriting debut, My Own Private Oshawa.
