Crees In The Caribbean Relaxed Performance
Tuesday June 30th – 10:00am
Written by Drew Hayden Taylor
Directed by Patti Shaughnessy
Run Time: 2 Hours 30 Minutes (including intermission)
A delightfully witty yet deeply touching play about Evie and Cecil Poundmaker, a Cree couple celebrating their 35th anniversary with their first trip abroad—a Mexican resort vacation gifted by their children. The comedy sparkles as this fish-out-of-water couple navigates resort life with laugh-out-loud exchanges rooted in decades of shared history. Curmudgeonly Cecil and spirited Evie fill the stage with humorous banter, but the play unfolds as a truly heartfelt journey as memories resurface, and Evie gently pushes Cecil to seize each moment. Their new friendship with Manuela, their young housekeeper, is profoundly moving. This is a beautiful, poignant story celebrating human connection across cultures and the comic joy of love rekindled and self-discovery in later life against an idyllic backdrop.
Liars At A Funeral
Tuesday August 11th – 10:00am
Written by Sophia Fabiilli
Directed by Blair Williams
Run Time: 2 Hours 10 Minutes (including intermission)
Family reunions are hard enough without faking a funeral, but that’s exactly what Grandma Mavis has cooked up. When a blizzard traps a wildly dysfunctional family inside a funeral parlour, sparks fly faster than power lines go down. Mavis is very much alive – just hiding upstairs with a plan, a wig, and possibly a flask. Over one increasingly unhinged day, skeletons are flung from closets, secrets spill like cheap wine, and no one leaves without emotional bruising. Five actors play nine roles in a whirlwind of mistaken identities, mistaken pregnancies, and one enthusiastic funeral director. There’s the long-lost lesbian daughter trying to come out between eulogies, estranged twins battling for dysfunction, and a matriarch manipulating them all from beyond the grave. With a suspicious baby bump and costume changes so fast they need a pit crew. Liars at a Funeral is a gloriously over-the-top tribute to family, forgiveness, and the fine art of pretending everything’s fine.
A Woman’s Love List
Tuesday September 8th – 10:00am
Written by Norm Foster
Directed by Lisa Horner
Run Time: 2 Hours (including intermission)
Megan and Carly write down a list of qualities for the perfect man, and to their surprise, he appears! But perfection proves to be a moving target. As they begin tweaking the list – Blaze Wilson, their masterpiece, responds in kind, morphing from one personality to the next faster than you can say “emotional whiplash. Things get even messier when Blaze discovers the list and takes matters into his own hands.
Full of rapid-fire dialogue, bizarre romantic detours, and enough twists to qualify as cardio, A Woman’s Love List is a hilarious exploration of modern relationships and why love can’t be measured by bullet points.
