With work underway converting Charlie's Car Wash to the Full Circle Theatre, we ran a reduced season for 2009-2010, with only 4 productions happening.
Even with only 4 shows on the boards and 90% of our attention on the renovations of the car wash, we managed to do some interesting work!

The Chimes
December 2009
A new musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' other Christmas story. The Chimes is engaging, exciting and entertaining, as well as seriously scary in some places! A real challenge for our cast, as well as a technical tour de force. Presented at the Myriad Centre for the Arts.

Mark Twain's Patent Scrapbook
May and July 2010
Digging back into the deep past, we revived a one-man show that David first performed 33 years before, when he was 21!
Mark Twain's Patent Scrapbook is a collection of Twain's writings and ramblings, brought back to the stage in lively fashion in observance of the 100th anniversary of Twain's death.
Presented in Perth at the P&DCI auditorium and later in Smiths Falls at the new Station Theatre.
Directed by Janice Jacklin

July/August 2010
Oh, what a show! Dark, mysterious, moving, dramatic, comic, musical, balletic, mythical and poetic, it came to the stage in grand style at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. A show that was called "just crazy good" by someone on the street.

Upper Right: the old upper office, walls removed, leaving only the beloved washroom fixtures that the women loved to use.
Lower Right: using a jackhammer to remove concrete installations in the theatre side! That's dead centre of the front row of seats. Note the "insulated" walls.
