It\u2019s a Wonderful Life<\/a><\/h2>\n

December 2nd to 17th, 2016
\nBy\u00a0Frances Goodrich, Albert Hackett, and Frank Capra
\nDirected by Jamie Eastgaard-Ross<\/p>\n

Based on the classic film by Frank Capra, It\u2019s A Wonderful Life has been delighting audiences on the silver screen and in theatres since it debuted in 1943. December just doesn\u2019t seem complete without a trip to Bedford Falls and the story of George Bailey, a man who believes in building community and helping your neighbours. When he becomes overwhelmed by one misfortune after another, George almost gives in to despair and then, on Christmas Eve, he meets a special angel on a mission to help George and receive his wings. The timeless message of hope, love and charity is especially warming on winter evenings with family and friends close-by. We hope you and yours will come celebrate this classic piece and this special time with us.<\/p>\n

For our Pantomime fans, we will be returning to the genre in 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

Iolanthe<\/a><\/h2>\n

April 28th to May 13th, 2017
\nBy\u00a0W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
\nDirected by Kelly Reay<\/p>\n

Love. So beautiful. So musical. So complicated. Although forbidden by fairy law, Iolanthe marries a mortal and is then banished from fairyland. Here in our human world, she bears a son; a lovely lad named Strephon, who falls head over heels and wants to marry Phyllis, who is, of course, desired by all the members of the House of Peers. When Phyllis sees Strephon embrace Iolanthe, who is ethereal and lovely, she doesn\u2019t stop for one moment to consider she might be Strephon\u2019s mother and sets in motion a musical clash between politicians and fairies, sending everyone tripping hither, tripping thither – we did mention love can be complicated – it\u2019s an energetic, satirical journey to the finale. Off and away to get your tickets! We\u2019ll see you in Spring for this, the seventh of fourteen collaborations by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

Harvey (Reunion Production)<\/a><\/h2>\n

June 14th to 24th, 2017
\nBy Mary Chase
\nDirected by Richard Michelle-Pentelbury<\/p>\n

When Elwood P. Dowd, a good-natured, mild-mannered eccentric, starts to introduce his imaginary friend- Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit- to guests at a society party, his sister Veta, has seen as much of his eccentric behaviour as she can tolerate. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium to spare her daughter, Myrtle Mae, and their family from future embarrassment.
\nProblems arise; however, when the doctors commit Veta instead of Elwood, but when the truth comes out, the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion.<\/p>\n

This is a reunion production, bringing back together the cast and crew from our January 2010 production.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

Classes will include professional instruction in Acting and Voice and the program will culminate in two\u00a0youth performances on the set of our mainstage production in the Victor Mitchell Theatre at the Pumphouse Theatre.<\/p>\n
