Fall Show - Office Hours by Norm Foster
What better way to celebrate Canada's 150th Birthday than to present one of Norm Foster's comedies? "Office Hours" shines a light on a Friday in six different offices in the city. In true Foster style, it makes us laugh at our humanity, cleverly linking an overweight jockey, a demoted TV news reporter, a desperate movie producer, a philandering agent, a gay entertainment lawyer with an over-bearing mother, a Week at a Glance salesman, and an analyst with a client perched on her window ledge! An hilarious workout for your "funny bone"!
Spring Show - Stage Kiss by Sarah Ruhl
Stage Kiss is an effervescent comedy of a play within a play (actually two plays within a play) which looks at love. The couple in this case are the generically named She and He who were each other's first love and who are unexpectedly cast opposite one another in an obscure melodrama.Kissing is a big part of their rehearsals, and may rekindle long lost feelings (or is it an illusion created by the stage kiss?).
Ruhl's clever comedy pits the excitement of romance against the reality of a longstanding relationship and in the process will elicit belly laughs.
