Here on the Flight Path
by Norm Foster,

September 19 - September
30,
2006
John Cummings, a Mr. Nice Guy and veteran of a failed marriage, shares adjoining
apartment balconies with three different women over three and a half years: Fay
- a prostitute, Angel - a young actress wannabe and Gwen - who recently left her
husband and Vancouver home. With each successive woman John explores the
delicate art of male/female communication. Another winning comedy by the man
who's earned the title "Canada's most sought after playwright".
Happy Birthday Dear Alice
by Bernard Farrell, directed by Gwen Knight.
November 14 - 25, 2006
A touching and at times hilarious look at aging. The story centres
around Alice as she celebrates her 70th birthday. In flashbacks, she
recalls former birthdays as her children try to convince her it's
time to enter a retirement residence. Alice has other ideas in which
her dead husband's partner Jimmy has a major role. A raging bull and
faulty hearing aids also figure prominently in the plot.
A poignant comedy and at times a
touchingly hilarious look at aging.
When the Reaper Calls
by Peter Colley,
directed by Helen Weeden and Martin Weeden.
January 30 - February 10, 2007
In this Canadian mystery-comedy, UBC philosophy professors Victor
and Harlan are old friends spending a cottage weekend with their
wives. Long time practical jokers, their competition to out-do each
other leads to deadly results...or does it? From the playwright who
brought us You'll Get Used to It! - The War Show.
A clever comedy-thriller with twists and turns along the way.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
by Tennesse Williams,
directed by Rosemary
Keneford.
March 27 to April 7, 2007
In Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play about greed and
deception in a patriarchal southern family, Big Daddy is dying as
his son Brick, an alcoholic ex-football player, drinks his days away
and resists the affections of his wife Maggie the Cat, and members
of the family greedily attempt to capture Big Daddy's inheritance.
This is a timeless classic - one of the best dramas ever written for
the stage.
Blithe Spirit
by Noel Coward,
directed by Barry Caiger.
May 22 to June 2, 2007
Noel Coward wrote Blithe Spirit during air raids on London during
the Second World War. He felt that something light and frothy would
take Britons out of themselves by laughing at people who thought
themselves important. A middle class home, a medium and a meddlesome
ghost lead to the exciting and giddy conclusion.
And for the holiday season . . .
Hi, Ho, Robin Hood

What to do between Christmas and New Year's? Bring the children or
grandchildren to our children's musical. Robin Hood is leading a
merry life with his followers in Sherwood Forest. Unfortunately, the
evil Prince John has taken the place of King Richard the
Lion-Hearted, who has gone to the Holy Land. With King Richard
absent, Prince John is waging a personal war against Robin Hood.
Only the brave and shrewd Robin Hood can secure Nottingham for the
safe return of the king. Family entertainment at its utmost, filled
with delightful songs.
