A man in a black suit and tie and a woman in a white wedding dress pose closely together against a dark background, both staring wide-eyed at the camera with surprised expressions. The woman’s mouth is open in a shout or laugh, and her blonde hair is blown upward beneath a sheer white veil that spreads across the top of the image. The man has curly dark hair and a beard, and the woman’s dress has an off-the-shoulder neckline with lace trim.

A show about promises and other things we meant at the time.

From Matt Baram, Naomi Snieckus, and Kat Sandler, the creative trio behind the hit production Big Stuff, comes a bold and playful new show about the promises we make to the people we love, the people we barely know, and ourselves.

On the way to Los Angeles after their low-key civil ceremony at Toronto City Hall, Matt and Naomi made a promise to themselves: no more corporate gigs, no moving back to Toronto, and a proper wedding within five years.

Five years later…

There’s no wedding planned.

They’re back in Toronto.

And most awkwardly of all, they’re there for a corporate gig.

With light audience interaction throughout, We Swear blurs the line between personal vows and public confession, reminding us that keeping our promises rarely happens in grand gestures but in the daily, awkward work of trying to keep our word. Or at the very least…remembering what we promised in the first place.

Featuring: Matt Baram and Naomi Snieckus.


 Baram, Snieckus and Sandler are a terrific trio of writerly talent.”
