Ripcord

February 20 – March 8, 2026

By David Lindsay-Abaire
Directed by Laura Demulder

A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility. So, when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new arrival, Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather have remained hidden. 

PG13: language & mature themes

Auditions for The Book of Will

February 22, 23 & 24, 7:00pm

Actors are needed for our spring production, The Book of Will. There are parts for male and female actors from 20 – 60ish. Based on historical events, The Book of Will is a fictionalized story of love, loss and laughter which sheds new light on a man you may think you know. Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet nor a multitude of English expressions. But without his friends, Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever. Apart from the from the frequent quotations, the script is in modern English.

Email director Julia Body if you have questions. The Book of Will is also our entry into the Okanagan Zone Drama Festival which takes place in Oliver shortly after our run ends.
