Summer Series In Bloom...

Hotbed Hotel

By Michael Parker • June 7 – July 1, 2012

From the creator of last year’s hit The Sensuous Senator! When a prospective buyer and
his girlfriend arrive to inspect a couple’s rundown hotel, the staff is recruited to pretend to be guests. Unfortunately they’re a tipsy custodian, a dim-witted maid, an eccentric retired army major, a wealthy Sheik and a flamboyant lady called the ’Barracuda’. A laugh-aminute merry-go-round!

Here on the Flightpath

By Norm Foster • July 5 – July 29, 2012

Every time John Cummings tries to get that novel written, a new lady moves in next door in this hilarious comedy set on adjoining balconies of a big city apartment building near the airport. There’s Fay, a good-hearted hooker, Angel, a wanna-be star, and Gwen, a recent divorcee. A Norm Foster comic hit!

Wife Begins at 40

By Arne Sultan, Earl Barret & Ray Cooney • August 2 – 26, 2012

Linda’s dissatisfied with her 17-year marriage but hubby George doesn’t seem to be aware of the problem. When George moves out to give Linda a chance to “find herself”, their hilarious attempts to re-kindle the dying flame take their toll on everyone-including neighbours, Betty and Roger; Leonard, their 16-year old son; Bernard, their eccentric Granddad; and Gertie, the real life family dog. That's right–a real dog! ‘

Funniest couple of hours one is likely to spend in a theatre’–The Review

A Nice Family Gathering

By Phil Olson • September 6 – 30, 2012

It’s the first family re-union since Dad died. Mom tries to organize dinner, sons Carl and Michael try to get along, Michael’s wife Jill tries to get pregnant and sister Stacey tries to fit in. The tension and hilarity increase when Dad’s ghost joins the festivities with a special mission for Carl-who’s the only one who sees him! Dad and the entire household erupt when another unexpected guest arrives. Mom’s date! This show has it all—comedy, conflict, unforgettable characters and situations we all recognize. ‘

A surefire, laugha-minute hit!’ Tolucan Times.
