JACK
and the last of the
Canonical Five
Tickets are sold in pairs. $149 includes a three-course meal and table for 2.
This Halloween, step back into the gaslit streets of 1888 London for The Last of the Canonical Five, an unforgettable Jack the Ripper–themed immersive dinner theatre experience at the elegant and iconic Water Street Café in historic Gastown. In this darkly romantic bar, six captivating characters take shelter from a killer stalking the night. There is Lewis, the disgraced writer desperate to hide from the ghosts of his past; Ginger, the dazzling singing harlot whose beauty may be her downfall; and Thomas, the ambitious journalist claiming to receive letters straight from the Ripper himself… or is it all a ploy for attention? Alongside three other mysterious figures you will meet over the course of the night, this campy, thrilling tale weaves together intrigue, suspense, and a touch of theatrical mischief while lively musical numbers transport you straight into the heart of Victorian London. Tickets on sale now for October 15th, 22nd, 28th, 29th, and 31st.
Deliciously Immersive Dinner Theatre
This luxurious 2-hour dinner theatre experience takes place in the heart of Gastown, overlooking Vancouver’s most iconic landmark, the steam clock.

Alcohol is not included, but the restaurant offers a thoughtfully curated cocktail menu and a fantastic wine list.
