Peerless

Hilarious. Magnetic. Unhinged.
Part of Ensemble Theatre Company’s 2026 Festival: Bloodlines.

Peerless follows twin sisters M and L as they spiral through the absurd, high-pressure theatre of elite college admissions. What begins as ambition curdles into obsession, with every choice landing somewhere between strategy and disaster. Fast, viciously funny, and relentlessly watchable!

Entertainment at its sharpest: ruthless, funny, and impossible to look away from.

In a moment when debates around affirmative action and “merit” continue to be reshaped and weaponised in public discourse, Peerless cuts through with a bracing clarity: the stories we tell about fairness are not neutral: they’re constructed, repeated, and believed until they feel like fact. The play skewers those narratives with a comedian’s precision and a thriller’s momentum, exposing how quickly “meritocracy” becomes myth-making.

Talkback on July 15 after the 7:30 pm performance.
Join us for a brunch time performance before the matinee, July 19th, featuring Fistful of Crime Improv.
