Port Dover: The Lighthouse Festival presents “Here on the Flight Path” starting August 27

Wednesday, August 27, 2025

Lighthouse Theatre welcomes Norm Foster’s heartwarming comedy Here on the Flight Path to the Port Dover stage next week.

Set on adjoining balconies in a big city apartment building, the play follows John as he forms unexpected connections with three very different women, Fay, Angel and Gwen, over the course of a three-and-a-half-year period. This Norm Foster delight blends laugh-out-loud moments with touching reflections on love, friendship, and the neighbours who become part of our lives. It’s the perfect mix of humour and heart you won’t want to miss!

On stage at Lighthouse Theatre in Port Dover from August 27 to September 13, and at Roselawn Theatre in Port Colborne from September 17 to 28.

Message from the Director:

Welcome to Here on the Flight Path - a play that, much like its title suggests, is about catching life’s little moments as they fly by.

What I love about Here on the Flight Path is that it reminds us how every person we meet leaves a mark, no matter how brief their appearance in our lives. It’s about embracing those fleeting connections, learning from them, and perhaps even being brave enough to change because of them.

I’m so grateful to our incredible cast and creative team for bringing these characters to life with such warmth and honesty. And I’m equally thankful to you, our audience, for sharing your evening with us. May you leave the theatre with a smile on your face, a warmth in your heart, and maybe a little more appreciation for the strangers-turned-friends who cross your path. – Derek Ritschel
