North Frontenac Little Theatre | Sep 02, 2016


This fall, North Frontenac Little Theatre (NFLT) is proud and excited to be presenting an original new musical, “Turtle Crossings”, written by NFLT veteran, Craig Godfrey.

Tesah Carter is a music teacher at an urban high school. While singing at an open-mic night with her friends, she reminisces about her childhood cottage days. Through her sharing, we revisit a young girl's life as she grows up at the lake. Along the way, we witness a powerful bond that develops with the boy next door, whom she looks up to as her guardian. In the end, we see how a spiritual re-awakening and the caring love of her "guardian" combine to bring an unforeseen joy into her world. With an original score of music, a wide variety of characters and a tale of human interest that runs the entire gamut of emotions, “Turtle Crossings” is sure to prove captivating and delightful to our audiences.

Brian Robertson will direct our Fall 2016 launch of this original musical. Brian is well known by many of you and a familiar face in these NFLT productions,

and he’s excited to be working on this fun presentation.

Auditions will be held on Sept. 7 & 8, at Granite Ridge Education Centre in Sharbot Lake. See the ad on page 3. The play will be performed Thurs – Sat., Nov. 24 – 26 at 7pm and Sun. Nov. 27 at 1:30 pm. Visit www.nflt.ca

There are roles for teenage boys and girls, adult males and females

Since some actors and crew contacted the author and team from our previous ads, some backstage roles and leads have been filled already. However, since this is a full scale musical, we are still in need of actors for some remaining lead roles and chorus,

as well as musicians to form a stage band, and help with the set, props, sound and make-up.
