Like a fine wine, <i>Wrong For Each Other</i> is Vintage Foster at his absolute best!

</b>World Premiere by Norm Foster
Shaver Bennett has lived a rather solitary life as a logger in the woods of northern New Brunswick. One day he arrives at the doorstep of his estranged sister’s daughter, whom he hasn’t seen in 20 years. The niece, Bonnie Doyle and her wife Liv Arsenault welcome him into their lives in this sweetly moving tale. Set in Saint John, New Brunswick, <i>Come Down From Up River</i> explores family and forgiveness with a healthy dose of laughter sprinkled with tears. If you loved 2016’s <i><a href="https://www.fosterfestival.com/site/halfway-there-comedy-festival">Halfway There</a></i> and last season’s <i><a href="https://www.fosterfestival.com/site/lunenburg-comedy-festival">Lunenburg</a></i>, this latest Maritime saga from Norm Foster is guaranteed to delight!
<i>"I'm excited about the two brand new plays I am working on for the new 2018 season. They are as different as night and day and yet I believe they will both still touch the funny bone and the heart of our audience." </i>- Norm Foster, Playwright

World Premiere by Norm Foster
Shayna and Grant Perkins are new in town. Eager to make friends and network for Shayna’s Pilates business the young couple decide to host a dinner party. The guest list includes Billie and Wing Falterman who abandoned their song-and-dance act and show biz to raise their daughter. Rounding out the party are haughty psychiatrist Veronica Dunn-Dudet and her husband Maurice Dudet, an engineer who has left his high-paying job to write a novel. All three couples are undergoing house renovations and could use a little fix-up in their relationships too! All hell breaks loose at the dinner party in this fast-paced comedy as secrets are revealed and cultures clash. You’ll never look at a paint chip again without laughing…or cringing!
