It’s a Good Life If You Don’t Weaken immerses audiences in a powerful original story set to the timeless music of The Tragically Hip, capturing the raw energy, heartfelt lyrics, and unmistakable spirit that have become central to Canada’s musical identity.

Set in 2002, Waleed — an exiled journalist — arrives in Canada and unexpectedly falls for Kate, the owner of a local music store. Their connection is immediate and undeniable. But when circumstances change, they are forced to confront duty, uncertainty, and what truly matters — and where they each belong.

Featuring iconic songs by The Tragically Hip, including “Bobcaygeon,” “Ahead by a Century,” “New Orleans Is Sinking,” “Wheat Kings,” “Grace, Too,” “Blow at High Dough,” and “Courage.”

'It’s a Good Life If You Don’t Weaken' is developed in partnership with Thousand Islands Playhouse, with support from the National Arts Centre's National Creation Fund, and further developed at The Creative School Chrysalis at Toronto Metropolitan University.
