himself and his mother at five different stages of their lives together
in a compelling balance of humor and poignancy.

A witty and wise comedy with a kick. Take three middle-aged widows, one
who flirts outrageously, one who is dedicated to the memory of her
husband and one who is beginning to realize that she still as a life to
live; throw an eligible widower into the mix and watch the sparks fly.

And elderly man and woman strike up a friendship over a card table in a
home for the aged. During the playing of several games of Gin, we learn
what can lie beneath the apparently casual and sometimes funny banter
between them.

This is one of Shakespeare's later comedies. Unlike his earlier comedic
works, the humor does not depend upon funny situations but rather the
characters themselves and the conduct of the highly-mannered society in
which they live.

presented by Kamloops Players

An engrossing and deeply revealing play which explores one of the most
vexing problems of our times---the failure of the family farm.

presented by Revelstoke Players

Bernard Shaw's classic dramatization of a Cockney flower girl's
metamorphosis into a lady is not only a delightful fantasy but also has
much to say about social class, money, spiritual freedom and women's
independence.
