Steel Magnolias
By Robert Harling
Show Dates: Feb 3,4,5,9,10,11 2023
Director: Dave Busuttil
Synopsis
The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.

The Foursome
By Norm Foster
Show Dates: May 5,6,7,11,12,13 2023
Director: Tyler Collins
Synopsis
The Foursome is a warm, funny play which takes place entirely on the eighteen tees of a golf course. Rick, Ted, Donnie, and Cameron are home for their fifteenth college reunion. During the weekend, the men go out for a game of golf, and it is during this game that the four get caught up on each other's lives since their college days. The stage is 18 tees of a Golf and Country Club. At each tee they relive old times, and catch up on their problems, successes, and failures since the old college days. A family man, a con artist, a millionaire, and a TV ad salesman, the friends – at least they were back then – discover that their lives have taken them in very different directions. Of course, real golf balls are not used. All golf shots are mimed. The crisp dialogue sparkles in this adult comedy written by one of Canada's leading playwrights.
