WARNING:
Theatre Collingwood advises you that the risk
of laughter is extreme during the 2012 summer theatre season
at the Historic Gayety Theatre. The professional company offers
four comedies that span a range of styles, from madcap spoof
to adult humour, saucy farce to rural wit.
THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP
by Charles Ludlam (July 16-
21, 2012). This hilarious mile-a-minute spoof of the horror genre
makes fun of melodrama, farce, satire and Hitchcock. There’s
a sympathetic werewolf, vampire, Egyptian mummy, mystery,
even a murder or two!
Playwright Norm Foster also stars in
SKIN FLICK
(July 30- Au-
gust 4). In the midst of an economic downturn, a regular, mid-
dle-aged couple suddenly lose their jobs. Panicked, they
stumble upon the idea of producing an ‘adult movie’ to make
ends meet. (Adult advisory)
Announcing another World Premiere! Award-winning Cana-
dian playwright, Vern Theissen premieres
DO NOT DISTURB
(August 20 – 25). Two upwardly mobile urban professionals
criss-cross the globe to close deals. But does love stand a
chance in a world ruled by technology and espionage?
WINGFIELD LOST & FOUND
(September 17-22) starring
Rod Beattie, is the seventh (and most recent) in the series written
by our own Dan Needles, about a city stockbroker who quits
the rat race to buy a hundred acre farm. Persephone Township’s
worst drought in 25 years brings Walt face to face with climate
change and his ecological footprint.
