Summer 2010

Our season opens with the popular farce Take A Number, Darling by Jack Sharkey, running July 6-24. Concert pianist Duncan Latimer and his wife Ellen, a famous soap opera star, lead impeccable lives, so their PR woman has no worries about arranging an interview with a scandal magazine reporter. However, before the reporter shows up there are unexpected arrivals - Duncan's old Navy buddy (who also has a past with Ellen), and an extra wife Duncan never told anyone about. Crazy confusion ensues as they try to prevent everything blowing up in the scandal sheet.

Rounding out the playbill is Office Hours, another sensational comedy by Norm Foster. On a single Friday afternoon, six scenes play out in different offices across a city. As each one unfolds, the linkages among the scenes are hilariously revealed. The final scene presents comic twists to wrap up the whole afternoon's bizarre events. Office Hours runs August 3 to 21.

Each play will run Tuesday to Saturday for three weeks, with curtain time at 8 p.m. each night. On the second Saturday of each run (July 17 and August 14) there will be a 2 p.m. matinee in addition to the evening show.

Ticket sales by telephone (613-332-6141) start May 1, and the box office in the Playhouse opens June 1 (Monday to Saturday 2 to 6 p.m., to 7:30 on performance nights). All tickets are reserved seating, so plan to enjoy a pleasant cappuccino or cold soft drink in the lobby before the curtain.

Ticket prices are $18.14 + HST = $20.50 for all customers. Exchanges may be subject to a $1 fee per ticket. No returns please. Telephone reservations may be confirmed with a credit card (VISA, MasterCard, AMEX). Without a credit card the tickets must be picked up 24 hours before the performance.
