The Importance of Being Earnest
A comedy written by Oscar Wilde
Directed by Elizabeth Wyatt
Produced by Adrian Wyatt and Peggy Wyatt
Stage Managed by Vicki Tompkins

What's in a name? Rather a lot, actually, as being "Ernest" becomes of vital importance to two young Victorian bucks entangled in the art of wooing. Wilde's legendary wit sparkles like diamonds, his characters charm, the frivolity of it all delights.

Nurse Jane Goes To Hawaii
A farce written by Allan Stratton
Directed by Kathryn DeLory
Produced by Ann Davison
Stage Managed by Peggy Wyatt

Until Allan Stratton came along "Canadian farce" was a contradictin in terms. Then this melange of mistaken identities, disguise, long-lost relatives, ambushes, chases and doorslamming mayhem burst on the Toronto stage and laid audiences low with laughter.

The Man With The Plastic Sandwich
A comedy written by Roger Karshner
Directed by Mark Nathanielsz
Produced by Michele Browne and Kerry Harman
Stage Managed by Vic Blackman

Sometimes one's longest journey takes place without taking a step. This is the tale of one man's travels down life's highway - with all its bumps and pot holes, curves, straights and ups and downs - without leaving his favourite park bench. Here Walter Price nurses his grievance at suddenly finding himself jobless after twenty years' loyal service. And here he is confronted by three oddball characters who hilariously help him regain his perspective and point him on the way to personal reassessment and reconnection with the world as it is.

The Last Resort
A musical written by Norm Foster
Music and Lyrics by Leslie Arden
Directed by Kathryn DeLory

Produced by Denise Cooling
Stage Managed by Peggy Wyatt

This is a rolling murder mystery/comedy/musical. A New York restaurant owner on the run from the mob arrives in the last place on earth he thinks they might find him - the Last Resort Hotel in rural Saskatchewan. He is sure a hit man has tracked him down, but which of our characters is it? Is it one of the identical twin sisters? The police inspector? The older couple on their second honeymoon? The strange hotel proprietress? Or the agent assigned to protect him and play his wife? Before you can say 'whodunit', there are complications, and of course, music...
