Victoria, BC...From December 2 to 20, 2026, Fernwood will be Victoria's most romantic neighbourhood as the Belfry presents Blind Date. Starring three different “Mimis”, Lili Beaudoin, Tess Degenstein & Ali Froggatt (each will play Mimi on a rotating basis), Blind Date is a Spontaneous Theatre creation.

“...the perfect marriage of theatre and comedy,” Now Magazine.

There’s nothing like the thrill of a first date...anything can happen! In the smash-hit play Blind Date, you’ll experience the exhilaration of new love as Mimi goes on a blind date with a different person every night, plucked right from the audience!

Please note – Mimi values consent. The date Mimi chooses has given their permission to be her date. Audience members won’t be randomly chosen as Mimi’s date.

What happens next is anybody’s guess, and different each night. This unscripted, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants adventure is one delightful, daring and entertaining night out.

“fearless…and very funny.” New York Times

Why We Chose This Play:

Show Creator Rebecca Northan is a national treasure—and this is her signature piece. Every performance is unique. No one knows what will happen or how it will unfold. It’s improvisation with heart—and the cast ensures that it’s all carried out with kindness, generosity, and a belly-full of laughs—! - Michael Shamata and Nigel Shawn Williams
