A Dramatic Romantic Comedy
Directed by Kim MacMillan

Anthony and Rosemary, neighbours in rural Ireland, are nearing their middle years. This love story is by turns poetic, uplifting, dark and very funny. Anthony is an introverted farmer and Rosemary has vowed to have him at all costs. When Anthony’s father threatens to disinherit him, Rosemary steps into the middle of a land feud and family eccentricities beyond what you might imagine. On the brink of romantic catastrophe, this one-of-a-kind Irish heroine fights against time and mortality in hopes of securing her dream of love. (More…)

Play Reading Group

Join us on Wednesday, March 27 at 7:00pm for our next play reading, Christopher Durang’s Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. This was the 2013 Tony Award Winner for best play.

Come and have fun reading or just listening to this play with fellow thespians. 

Everyone is welcome. Questions? Email Julia.

From Christopher Durang’s website: “The play is set in Bucks County, Pennsylvania in a farmhouse Vanya and his step-sister Sonia have lived in all their lives. They jointly took care of their ailing, doddering parents for many years while their movie star sister, Masha, was gallivanting around the world, having a life. The play takes place on a weekend when Masha shows up with a new twenty-something boy toy named Spike.”

Special General Meeting

Special General Meeting

The Shuswap Theatre Board is giving notice of a brief Special General Meeting of the society for the purpose of approving several changes to our bylaws. Future funding hinges on one of the changes so we cannot wait until the next AGM. The changes:

  1. To legitimize meetings held by video link as equal to in-person meetings,
  2. To change the quorum for general meetings to a more realistic number,
  3. To forbid remuneration to board members for their service (to facilitate certain grants),
  4. To allow the board to appoint temporary replacements for board members who are unable to complete their term.

The meeting will be held at the theatre, but members may join via Zoom if that is more convenient. Your attendance is important. We must have a quorum.
