Spring Show: TRIPLE BILL

Terrace Little Theatre is pleased to announce the imminent arrival of our spring show. Actually, we're pleased to announce the imminent arrival of our spring showCASE.
We strive year over year to bring you the very best in live entertainment and this year is no different. This year, we've got a Triple Bill for you. It's a TLT first. Director Adam Kirkwood and two amazing casts have put together two immensely entertaining one-act shows called One Spring Morning and Elevator. As an added bonus for your entertainment dollar, Jack Cook and the Copper Mountain Stringband will take the stage as a third act with a cabaret style Blue Grass String Band concert.

The evening begins with One Spring Morning. A look at what can happen when we dare step outside of our three feet of personal space. As the curtain rises, we meet Ernest. A middle aged middle manager minding his own business, enjoying his morning paper. Life. Is. Good. Except for one small thing. He's trying a new bus-stop. Not long after beginning to feel comfortable with his new surroundings, three females descend upon Ernest and take him on a journey he'll not soon forget. TLT veteran Andy Roth makes his return to the stage playing Ernest. Amber Hansen plays Elsie with Ella Martindale as "Little Girl". Rounding out the cast playing "Little Old Lady" is a trio of veteran, award winning TLT talent. Julie Jacobs, Diana Braathen and Nancy Stone Archer will each take turns (and great pleasure) making Ernest's life hell.

Next up is Elevator. Ada Sarsiat and Marianne Brorup Weston play Martha and Katie. One is a few bricks short of a load and the other is a few more. Their days are spent ducking the land lady, waiting for the next family reunion and for their groceries to be brought in all from the safety of their beloved elevator. After learning how to avoid getting goiter, some minor re-decorating, and a couple of tall tales, Katie and Martha show us just how much fun one can have on an elevator if one just puts ones mind to it.

At TLT, we take pride in our professionalism and dedication to our craft. That is why we are so very proud to be partnering with Copper Mountain Stringband to bring you this TLT first. Jack and Jean Cook, Wayne Sheridan and Eric Sweeney are this region's pre-eminent force in down-home, good time acoustical string band music. They've toured east and west, north and south bringing blue grass and their love of music to the masses. You can learn more about them at
http://www.coppermountainmusic.ca/.

This Triple Bill has it all, comedy, drama, ups, downs, role-playing and blue grass. And it's all for you, our valued patrons. Tickets are $20 for an evening that includes two fine shows and a cabaret concert and are available at Uniglobe Courtesy Travel. The curtain rises at 8pm sharp April 22nd to May 8th on Thursday Friday and Saturday nights. This is an evening that is not to be missed. Get your tickets today!!!

NUNSENSE 2 - The Second Coming

They are back!
For those of you who didn't get enough of the crazy Little Sisters of Hoboken's fundraising antics a few years back, now's your big chance.

Terrace Little Theatre duo Marianne Brorup Weston and Tim Keenan have reassembled the cast of NUNSENSE and are readying for performances in November.

Articles in the news:
NUNSENSE II: The Second Coming picks up the story of the prize-winning sisters six weeks after their fund raiser to bury their four dead sisters. They have returned for a Thank You Show, but immediately there are problems around Sr. Amnesia's origins as the Franciscans appear on the scene.

Returning as the Reverend Mother is Mary Ann Lawrence and her flock of stage-struck nuns are once again played by Karla Hennig, Amy Turner and Robin Hollett. Her ambitious side-kick Sr. Hubert, Mistress of Novices is played by multi-award winner Janine Hamming. Gertrude Green has returned from her provincial tour as Sr. Mary Annette to complete the ensemble.

Musically, the Mount Saint Helens Eruptions band is led by the fearless Br. Tim. He backs up the singing sisters with Sr. Dancing Fingers Javinder Roy, Dylan Gordon (bass), Yvette Bos (reeds) and James Powell (drums).
Dance choreography is by Sophia Palahicky.

Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the ensemble that stormed Theatre BC's Mainstage in 2006 where they were advised to tour their show professionally. (Upon reflection they collectively decided to decline that offer and remain unimportant like the rest of us.)

The show plays at the REM Lee November 26,27,28, 2009 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $17 at Uniglobe Courtesy Travel.

"The Drawer Boy" becomes "The Zoo Story"

The cast and crew of Terrace Little Theatre's "The Drawer Boy" have been forced to abandon their plans for a festival performance at the Skeena Zone Drama Festival this year.

"We are devastated", says director Marianne Brorup Weston. Due to an actor requiring surgery that turned out to take him out of commission for the immediate future, the project was halted last week when a search for a replacement actor failed.

Not one to be deterred, Brorup Weston is taking the remaining cast and crew forward with a smaller, but equally exciting project, the classic Edward Albee play, "The Zoo Story".

"A stumbling block can be turned into a stepping stone for bigger things if the talent and will is there", adds Brorup Weston. I have two incredibly talented actors and an amazing crew who deserve a chance to shine." She cites a supportive TLT Executive for giving her the encouragement and the chance to move ahead.

In the meantime,"The Drawer Boy" will go on Brorup Weston's back burner.
"When the time is right, it will come together."

Terrace Little Theatre presents...
The Drawer Boy
Written By Michael Healey
Directed by Marianne Brorup Weston

Starring: Adam Kirkwood, Jerry Stuebing, Alan Weston

It's 1972, and a self-absorbed young Toronto actor, Miles, arrives on a small farm to do hands-on research for an upcoming role in a play about country life. He is sent to live with two middle-aged farmers, Morgan who is not to thrilled with the self-involved young city dweller, and Angus, who is unable to remember that the young actor is even there due to a head injury sustained in London during World War II. Miles unwillingly stumbles upon the truth about their past and as a result, their lives are forever altered when art attempts to imitate life and the line between truth and fiction is crossed. What begins as an amusing portrayal of rural and urban culture-clash, slowly peels away layers of forgotten truths and lies, exposing hidden secrets of love and tragedy. Think farm life is boring? Think again! Think plays about farm life are boring? You be the judge.

Performance Dates:March the 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 17th,
22nd, 23rd and 24th- McColl Playhouse
