A Public Display of Affection – Jonathan Wilson’s Intimate, Hilarious Journey Home

Saturday, September 20 • 7:00 PM
The Historic Market Hall

Get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe blush a little. Jonathan Wilson returns with a staged reading of A Public Display of Affection, the smash-hit Studio 180 production that lit up Crow’s Theatre in Toronto. Mixing biting wit with heartfelt storytelling, Wilson cracks open the vault of his queer coming-of-age in Toronto—with all its wild nights, awkward firsts, iconic landmarks, and unforgettable loves.

This is more than a memoir—it’s a time capsule wrapped in theatre, a personal map of a city and self in transition. With his trademark charm and fearless honesty, Wilson takes you through the moments that shaped him—and maybe shaped you too.

Part history, part comedy, part raw confession, A Public Display of Affection is proudly presented during Peterborough/Nogojiwanong Pride Week. Come for the stories, stay for the truth.
