~ Welcome to our 52nd Season  2007-2008 ~


"Community theatres have a social function and it is to be that kind of irritant in the shell of their community. Not to conform, not to wear the conservative business suit of their audience, but to let their hair grow long and even greasy, to make wild gestures, break glasses, fight, shout, and fall downstairs! When you see them acting like this - not respectably, not quite decently even! - then you will know that something is going to happen in that outfit, something disturbing, something irregular, something brave and honest." - Tennessee Williams

Doctor Martha Livingstone, a court appointed psychiatrist, is asked to determine the sanity of a young nun accused of murdering her own baby.  Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, seems bent on protecting Sister Agnes from the doctor, and Livingstone's suspicions are immediately aroused.  In searching for solutions to various mysteries. Who killed the baby? Who fathered the child?  Livingstone forces all three women, herself included, to face some harsh realities in their own lives, and to re-examine the meaning of faith and the commitment of love.

Honk!

 

by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe

directed by Jay Goddard

choral direction by Sharon Taylor

choreography by Danica Poole

 

June 11-15, 2008

 

"Honk!" is the story of Ugly, whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbours.  Separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry Cat, Ugly must find his way home.  Along his rollicking and harrowing journey he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms.  Witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving, "Honk!" will treat the audience to equal amounts of laughter and tears.  It's a story with charm, humour and a message of tolerance that is perfect for a family audience.

University lecturer Frank needs to earn some extra money, so he agrees to tutor an Open University student.
