The Great 44th Fowler’s Falls Fall Fair Disaster
August 3 – 13
BY SARAH QUICK
The fall fair is an annual highlight for the residents of tiny Fowler’s Falls and it is abound with traditions. But an influx of new residents in town threatens to throw things into disarray.
The talent show is thrust into turmoil, the Harvest Queen pageant is a fashion disaster, the homecraft committee suspect sabotage and the rooster crowing competition crown holder looks to be the victim of fowl play.
Stakes are high, the competition is fierce and it looks like someone would kill to be the winner.
Will this 44th anniversary event be the town’s downfall or will fairness prevail?
Screwball Comedy
August 17 – 27
BY NORM FOSTER
A great new Canadian comedy from audience favourite Norm Foster.
The year is 1938 and newly laid-off perfumier Mary Hayes is trying to break into the male dominated world of newspaper journalism. Editor-in-Chief Bosco Godfrey sets a competition between his egotistical star reporter Jeff Kincaid and plucky Mary, assigning them to cover a society wedding. If Jeff writes the better story, he gets to keep his job. If Mary wins, she will replace the ace newshound.
A homage to those zany screwball comedies of that time period, this play is full of snappy period dialogue, outrageous characters and humour that packs a punch!
