North Frontenac Little Theatre update

John Pariselli | Jan 22, 2014

It’s been an exciting and challenging year with the construction of the new school in Sharbot Lake. Some of us have had the opportunity to peek into the new building to see how it will be useable for NFLT productions.

WOW! It’s a larger stage; has a green room (music/drama room) that is accessible from the rear of the stage; and stairs at the side of the stage that lead up to a classroom on the 3rd floor that can be used as well for costume changes, etc.

The lighting grid, stage flooring and backstage curtains are not set up yet; however the executive felt that we could not go another season without a production. Therefore we will have to do our Spring 2014 production in another location.

The best option seemed to be to do a one-act comedy with a small cast and flexible staging. What better to fit the bill than Norm Foster! We’ve done several of his plays in the past with great success: Ethan Claymore, The Foursome, Maggie’s Getting Married, and Opening Night. Audiences enjoy his humour, and casts and crew enjoy preparing the plays. Norm Foster has two one-act plays that we are going to do this spring.

"My Narrator": Imagine what would happen if that little voice inside your head — the one that tells you how to behave and what choices to make — suddenly took on a life of its own? For Lacy and Miles, love is what happens, and with hilarious results. “My Narrator” has two male and two female characters age range mid-twenties and up.

"The Death of Me": When John bargains with the Angel of Death for a second chance at life, he quickly discovers that fixing the mistakes of your past is difficult, and that perhaps his destiny is not yet etched in stone. “The Death of Me” has two male and two female characters, age range mid-20s and up.

At this point we’re not sure where we’ll perform these plays but we’re looking at the end of April for performance dates. We are currently looking for: a director(s): each one-act could have its own director; stage manager: minimum stage managing required (could also be the prompter); and a producer.
