The international hit musical by Willy Russell

It is only hours before the opening of a British adult farce, Nothing On, and the touring company is hurriedly running through a final dress rehearsal in the Grand Theatre, Weston-SuperMare, before the first audience arrives.
The Nothing On cast is loveable, but mainly inept. We cheer for them under our breath and hope that they can pull it together and get the show on the road. However, our hopes are dashed in Act 2…

This classic thriller packs intrigue and humor into an ingenious plot. An author with writer's block is offered a commission that will meet his debts before he meets the enforcer. An actor with specific needs wants a script. It must feature a theatrically convincing, perfect modus operandi and alibi for the murder of his young wife. She is to remain in the dark so the play will be a surprise. The actor's extreme approach to rehearsal worries the writer, but he is forced to remain silent.
Authors: David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jr.
Director: Steve Martin
In a festive mood, the ladies mount another assault on the classics with their stage version of A Christmas Carol. They enthusiastically portray a dizzy array of characters from the Dickensian favorite (and a few which aren't), engineer some novel audience participation while bravely contending with an intrusive PA system and a real Farndale first rap their vocal cords and feet around two original, show stopping songs.
From the same Fools who brought you last year's smash hit Midwinter's Dream Tale comes: Shakespeare's Danish Play; a hilarious re-imagining of Hamlet as you've never seen it before. Clown duo Pomme and 'Restes return with their friends for an all new adventure. Can this troupe of clowns complete Shakespeare's masterpiece? Or will the curse cause everything to spiral into madness? Shakespeare's Danish Play stars AL Connors, Scott Florence, Cari Leslie, Margo MacDonald and Alix Sideris

The musical Blood Brothers tells the story of the Johnstone twins, Mickey and Eddie, separated at birth and who reunite and become friends.
Working class woman Mrs. Johnstone learns she is pregnant with twins and confides in her employer Mrs. Lyons about her fears that she will not be able to support both children. Unable to have children herself, Mrs. Lyons persuades Mrs. Johnstone to give up one of her boys with the promise that she will raise him in the lap of luxury. When Mrs. Lyons fires the mother in hopes of making Eddie all her own, she is unable to separate herself and Eddie from the Johnstone family or from the lies of the past, leading both families towards a tragic end.
Produced by The Gladstone in association with the Ottawa Theatre School and their Emerging Artists Program

Huey Maximilian Bonfigliano has a problem: While he is safely divorced from his shrewish first wife, Janice, who shot his dog and even took a bead on him, he feels he cannot regain his “manhood” until he woos and wins her one more time — if only to put his broken marriage behind him once and for all. He enlists the aid of his lifelong buddy, Aldo Scalicki, a confirmed bachelor who tries, without apparent success, to convince Huey that he would be better off sticking with his new lady friend, Teresa, a usually placid young waitress whose indignation flares when she learns what Huey is up to.

Act one opens at an afternoon rehearsal for a USO show in the South Pacific. Max, Lawrence and Patrick Andrews are rehearsing with pin-up girl Peggy Jones for the big show that night. What Peggy doesn't know is that the brothers are really just the stagehands for the show – her back-up singers didn't arrive in time, and the boys were recruited by the Major in charge to fill in where needed. Just as they assume all will work out well, a radiogram arrives with the news that the headliners for tonight's show, The Andrews Sisters, have been held in quarantine in Hawaii. The show must be cancelled. Unless, of course, there's a way for the Andrews Sisters to appear…
