2011-2012 Season

BLOOD BROTHERS (October 6-15, 2011)

Directed by Nicholas Banks

A musical drama by Willy Russell

Set in Britain, Willy Russell’s Blood Brothers tells the story of fraternal twins who are separated at birth. One brother is raised in a family of privilege and the other in poverty.

Even with their different socio-economic backgrounds, the two end up becoming friends. But falling in love with the same girl, and other life circumstances lead to tragedy. This is a very human story about love, friendship, and the things that can go wrong when the truth isn’t told. It’s a show that should be seen by everyone with a beating heart.

HERE ON THE FLIGHT PATH (November 10-19, 2011)

Directed by Conrad Boyce

A comedy by Norm Foster

A hilarious but touching modern comedy by Canada's most popular playwright. John Cummings lives in a big city apartment building that just happens to be under the final approach to the country's biggest airport. This has fascinating repercussions as he interacts with three women, Fay (a 'personal improvement counsellor'), Angel (a high-decibel aspiring musical theatre actress), and Gwen (a heart-broken newly single girl), who become his neighbours over a three and a half year period.

HMS PINAFORE (January 19-28, 2012)

Directed by Cheryl Atwood

A comic operetta by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan

The plot of this silly frolic, one of G&S's best, unwinds aboard the British ship H.M.S. Pinafore. The captain's daughter, Josephine, is in love with a lower-class sailor, Ralph Rackstraw, although her father intends her to marry Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty. But really, who cares about the plot? Gilbert and Sullivan, in this cleverly updated production, is all about broadly comic characters singing non-stop catchy tunes. What better remedy for the mid-winter blues?

TWELVE ANGRY MEN (April 5-14, 2012)

Directed by Bryan Mailey

A drama by Reginald Rose

A gripping drama depicting a 1950’s jury who is responsible for the fate of a young man accused of murdering his father. This classic play explores the minds of the jurors who must confront their own prejudices and backgrounds as they attempt to ensure that justice is served.
