My Darling, Judith
A comedy
by
Norm Foster
October, 2004

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged!)
By Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield
December, 2004
Oh, my goodness! What utter joy to run amok with the Bard. Three people to destroy utterly and rebuild our love of all things Shakespearian. A must do-over!

Blithe Spirit
A comedy
by
Noel Coward
February 2005
Back for our tenth anniversary season, Blithe Spirit remained as strong a crowd pleaser as it was in 1995 (and in 1945, for that matter!). Some of (our) original cast returned and a great time was had by all.

by Edward Salisbury Fields
A comedy from the archives of Perth’s Marks Brothers Dramatic Company
The Marks Brothers Melodrama
Salisbury Fields' 1919 comedy is just plain fun to perform and to view. With a strong cast, lots of music and a fine script, the audience lapped it up.
Cara Howard as Ophelia
Just days after the closing of Hamlet, we lost Cara to a tragic car accident.
Her beauty lives on.
Todd Stace as Marcellus, David Bird as The Ghost, Chris Sleeth as Hamlet
