Here On The Flight Path
A comedy
by
Norm Foster
October, 2003
Directed by Janice Jacklin
A delightful two-hander featuring David Jacklin in a suitably stolid role and Laurie Reesor in a bewildering variety of costumes and characters that drew more than favourable comparison with the author and his wife in the same roles. A real-crowd pleaser.
The Holly Tree
A new holiday musical
by
David Jacklin
December, 2003
We finally were able to bring The Holly Tree to the stage and the audience were astounded. A full-on, Broadway style musical with original music, all created right here in Perth. A very successful run and more to come!

The Tomorrow Box
A comedy by
Anne Chislett
February/March 2004
Chislett's Canadian classic is one of those shows that stays perennially fresh. Never mind that the legal arguments are dated -- it's the characters and their conflict that is real. A truly solid production.

The Tyranny of Tears
A melodrama from the archives of Perth’s Marks Brothers Dramatic Company
A charming play of wit and manners that deserves a place on the stage. And our cast did it justice.

The Beggar's Opera
by John Gay
Our 9th Garden Classic
It was wet, sometimes, and buggy at others, but always musical and wonderful. Gay's oh-so-cynical 1720s musical came to rambunctious life in a new production with new arrangements and orchestrations that kept it up-to-date and exciting
Here's the record: 9 productions; 56 performances;
0 rainouts!

The Marks Brothers Melodrama
Audiences found that even a 90 year old melodrama can still shock you! This play about spousal abuse and alcoholism, even as seen from the point of view of the 1920s, hit hard, but still entertained from beginning to end.
