NFLT To Present Two One Act Plays

Submitted | Apr 09, 2014

North Frontenac Little Theatre is excited to present two one act plays by Norm Foster at the end of April.

Norm Foster is our group’s favourite Canadian comedy writer. We’ve performed several of his plays before: Maggie’s Getting Married, The Foursome and Opening Night. He has a way of making us laugh and sneaking in a warm, fuzzy message that will stay with us.

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?

My Narrator, is a sweet romantic comedy with a twist. Lacy (Kathy Bateman) is a struggling artist with poor taste in men. Miles (Noel Bateman) is a bumbling but sweet loser. The two hardly seemed destined for a romantic future together until their own personal internal narrators—embodied by Andrea Dickinson and John Stephen—discover a mutual attraction.

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 is when nice guy John Adderly (Craig Godfrey) argues with the Angel of Death (Ellie Steele) about the injustice of having suffered a fatal aneurism and wants a second chance to correct things And when John finally gets to go back for the 12 hours before he left off and informs the Angel that he will be going back to where he began his fateful last day on earth, Steele’s character derisively exclaims, "Twelve hours of life -- and you're going back to work?" So John returns to confront his ex-fiancé (Barb Matson) and his doctor (John Pariselli) with hilarious results.

Since the Granite Ridge Education Centre stage isn’t ready, NFLT will be presenting its production at the Oso Community Hall in Sharbot Lake on Saturday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 27 at 2:00 p.m.

For the first time, we will also be performing our Dinner Theatre package at the Sharbot Lake Country Inn on Friday, April 25 at 5:30 p.m. For dinner theatre tickets please contact Nina Jenkins at 613-279-2945.

Saturday and Sunday tickets can be purchased at our ticket vendors: Gray’s Grocery and Sharbot Lake Pharmacy.
