Opening Night By Norm Foster
September 18, 19, 25, 26, 27 and October 1, 2 & 3, 2009
Jack and Ruth Tisdale are about to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary with an
evening at the theatre. It’s a dream come true for Ruth and a nightmare for Jack
who would rather be home watching the World Series. It’s opening night at the
theatre – the director is nervous, the actors impossible and Jack’s antics light the
fuse that explodes like a time bomb of hilarity. This hysterically funny
“backstage” play by Canada’s premier writer of comedies is zany, witty and bright.
This is one opening night you won’t want to miss!

Jack agrees to see “the shrink to the stars” whose idea of therapy is to have Jack
play the leading man in his own romantic comedy. In a journey that combines humor
and heart, laughter and love, you’ll be treated to a comedy that tips its hat to
