If you didn't get there in 2004... You missed some great shows.

Sylvia: by A.R. Gurney, directed by Jim Cook

Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after 20 years of child raising in the suburbs. They are both at crossroads in their careers and life in general. Enter Sylvia, a streetwise mix of Labrador and Poodle that Greg picks up in the park. The fur flies as Sylvia becomes a rival for affection and attention. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series os hilarious and touching complications, a compromise is reached and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives. “Sylvia” is a beautiful, funny, touching and profound play.

Marriage is Murder: by Nick Halls, directed by Jim Sirianni

Polly Butler is a successful Hollywood screenwriter …..or is she?  Paul Butler is her estranged husband who has no desire rekindle the flame….or does he? Polly arrives one evening to collaborate with Paul on a screen play. She wants to turn their successful detective books featuring Miss Charlotte Hayakawa, into a movie. Together, they have always acted out their plots and “murders” in the past. As they begin to write their movie and act it out as they go, one has to wonder, they are ACTING……aren’t they?

Marriage is Murder is a very funny, high spirited, sophisticated game of cat and mouse.

You Say Tomatoes: by Bernard Slade, directed by Jim Cook

A wonderful, touching, funny, romantic and sexy story about two very different people in their “slightly later years” who meet and fall in lust. Libby is a successful television producer from New York with a young, fresh off the farm Southern gal as her “partner in crime”. Giles is a rather stogy, eccentric and extremely private Englishman comfortably set in his ways. Can Libby persuade Giles to move to New York for the fame and fortune he doesn’t want, but she so desperately needs? They ultimately connect, disconnect and perhaps reconnect when all is said and done. It’s fun to watch New York meet London and realize that there are more differences in the two cultures than the way one pronounces “Tomatoes”.

The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society’s Production of “A Christmas Carol”: by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jnr., Directed by Emma-Jane Huerta

No one does farce like the British and this play is no exception. The Circle Bar B Dinner Theater is going to bring an early holiday “present” to their patrons.

The Women’s Dramatic Society is awfully professional…at least they think they are. They are in reality everyday British women mounting Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol”. The result is sheer fun and silliness. The four women in the society play all the parts with the help of their oh-so-dutiful stage hand. What can go wrong, does…..and the audience can’t help but howl at their efforts. This show has it all: singing, dancing, audience participation and lots of laughs. It’s sure to ring in the holidays very properly.

Well the season ended.  We hope you all of our wonderful patrons enjoyed the shows.  We look forward to entertaining you and your families again next season.
