synopsis:
This Pulitzer Prize finalist and Time Magazine’s “best play of the year” explores both growing up and growing old. With his backpack, bicycle, and stories of his life-changing cross-country cycling trip in tow, 21-year-old Leo lands on the New York City doorstep of his 91-year-old leftist grandmother, Vera. Their month together as sometimes combative, yet always compassionate, intergenerational roommates is simply a wonderful mix of the funny, the moving and the revealing. This insightful play delves into the intimacies and complexities of adult relationships with families, friends and lovers.

synopsis:
The Radium Girls were young working class women who painted the dials of watches and clocks for everyone – wondrous products with numbers that glowed in the dark in the 1920’s. Their hair would glow after leaving the factory… Their boyfriends would smile. They became so sick that in court, they couldn’t raise their arms to swear to tell the truth… For in Holy Sepulcher Cemetery, Newark, New Jersey, geiger counters held over the graves of women dead too soon will actually start to click….

This is a true story of a very ordinary group of women who spark an uproar with a very untraditional charity fundraiser to honour one of their husband’s fight with Leukemia. Dropping everything for a good cause, their modesty spared only by artfully placed cakes, knitting and flower arrangements, their calendar puzzles their husbands and mortifies their children, and sparks a global phenomenon. A story of courage, Calendar Girls is quirky, poignant and hilarious.

synopsis:
It is the 1958 Springfield High School senior prom, and four teenage girls who are the school’s “trophy-winning” song leaders are asked to step in as the entertainment. They are replacing the boys’ glee club, the Crooning Crab Cakes, whose lead singer was caught smoking behind the girls’ locker room and suspended from school.
As they sing and dance to popular songs of the 1950s, tension between two of the girls, Betty Jean and Cindy Lou, increases. They fight about a boy, but eventually make-up as the other girls, Missy and Suzy, also sing about their loves. Act One culminates with the vote for the “Queen of Your Dreams,” the prom queen.
Act Two takes place ten years later, at the girls’ ten year reunion. The girls have again been asked to provide the entertainment. Suzy, Missy, and Betty Jean stayed in Springfield after high school, while Cindy Lou went to Hollywood before coming back to Springfield. Each of the girls tells the story of the man in her life and what has happened since high school. The evening ends as magically as it began.

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

The delicious adventures of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl’s fantastical tale. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film, in addition to a host of fun new songs, Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. is a scrumdidilyumptious musical guaranteed to delight everyone’s sweet tooth.
Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka’s rules in the factory — or suffer the consequences.

synopsis:
Welcome to the 10-Minute Play Festival! Now in its third year, this wonderful event started as a training initiative and continues to welcome aspiring creatives to Kanata Theatre.
Last year was our first venture into the world of 10-Minute Plays. It was a great way to pass time and learn something during a lockdown while Playhouse activities were curtailed. This year a larger group was inspired to take on the challenge and we have 11 plays to present.
10-minute plays are succinct pieces, which get right to the point, and this year we cover a wide variety of subjects in two short shows. It is a great opportunity to showcase new writers, directors, and actors and to see fresh new material. With over 50 people involved, there is a real festival spirit around the Playhouse. Please enjoy some summer fun and thank you for your support.

director_name: Ilona Henkelman
synopsis:
In 1940’s New York, the performer who everyone wanted to see live was Florence Foster Jenkins, an enthusiastic soprano whose pitch was far from perfect. Known as “The First Lady of the Sliding Scale,” she warbled and screeched her way through the evening to an audience who mostly fell about with laughter. But this delusional and joyously happy woman paid little attention to her critics, instead she was surrounded by a circle of devoted friends who were almost as eccentric as she was.
Based upon a true story, the play spins from Florence’s charity recitals and extravagant balls, through to her bizarre recording sessions and an ultimate triumph at Carnegie Hall in this hilarious and heart-warming comedy.

When her mother dies after an expensive illness and a lifetime of bad choices, tentative but tenacious young Jackie is left with a mound of debt.
