DRINKING HABITS<\/a><\/h2>\n

October 4 to 12, 2024
\nA farce by Tom Smith
\nDirected by Nicola Payton<\/p>\n

Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancees, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

THE McADO<\/a><\/h2>\n

April 25 to May 10, 2025
\nA comic operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan
\nDirected by Sean Anderson<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the show you love, in a brand new setting! The Mikado has been moved to the highlands of Scotland and becomes The McAdo.<\/p>\n

The McAdo, or \u201cThe Town of Ballydew\u201d, a refreshing take on Gilbert & Sullivan\u2019s The Mikado, featuring all the music and dialogue you know and love, but with a wee Scottish twist\u2026 This new production relocates the beloved comic opera from Japan to a fictional clan in the Scottish Highlands, where warriors and clansfolk combat love, death and obscure laws. With joyous songs, Scottish dances and Highland-inspired dress, this is The Mikado as you\u2019ve never seen it before.<\/p>\n

In this adaptation by Gilbert & Sullivan Austin, Gilbert\u2019s libretto and Sullivan\u2019s score has been kept virtually intact, while the costumes will reflect the Scottish moors. It\u2019s a farcical tale of a wand\u2019ring minstrel, a cowardly executioner, an iron-fisted ruler, and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

GUYS AND DOLLS<\/a><\/h2>\n

April 11th to 19th, 2025
\nMusic & Lyrics by Frank Loesser |\u00a0 Book by Jo Swerling & Abe Burrows
\nA Co-Production with MisFit Theatre YYC<\/a><\/p>\n

Director: Jeremy Walker & Krista Willott
\nMusic Director: Joseph Fernando
\nChoreographer: Nimue Nova<\/p>\n

It’s time to roll and beat those dice as the beloved musical takes a bow! A screwball romantic comedy, Guys and Dolls takes us into the heart of 1950s New York, as imagined by Damon Runyon and scored by Frank Loesser and includes toe-tapping musical theatre classics including “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ The Boat” and “Luck Be a Lady”.<\/p>\n

The story brings together a collection of colorful characters. First, there’s Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight ‘mission doll’ out to reform the evil-doers of Times Square. Next up is Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love. Adelaide is a chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she’s been engaged to the same man for fourteen long years. And last but not least there’s her devoted fianc\u00e9 Nathan Detroit, desperate as ever to find a spot for his world-renowned floating crap game! Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n
