Trudeau Stories
Written and performed by Brooke Johnson
Whether you wear blue, red, orange or green, you will absolutely love Trudeau Stories. In 1985, as a young student at the National Theatre School in Montreal, Brooke Johnson met a powerful man, who happened to be the Prime Minister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Through personal reminiscences and vivid portrayals, Brooke gives us a rare look at a most unlikely friendship, one that is at once vital, charming, poignant and very funny. Trudeau Stories is about friendship and loss… not politics!
February 15-March 4, 2018
Screwball Comedy
By Norm Foster
The year is 1938 and aspiring reporter Mary Hayes, is struggling to break into the male- dominated world of journalism. Jeff Kincaid may be the hottest reporter in the city, but his job is on the line and Mary could well be the one to replace him. Reminiscent of the zany, cinematic screwball comedies of Gable and Colbert or Hepburn and Grant, this delightful play crackles with wit and humour!

Earl is trying to move on but Gail has given up on love and turned to beekeeping. When Gail’s turkey-farming daughter moves back home and a young man studying the decimation of the local bee population shows up, things really start to buzz!
