Three years later, widow Marjorie Clifford, at home in her trailer in Fort St. John, BC, begins to take the first step in understanding that the humanity of love, in all of its tentative frailty, uncertainty and promise, can free a life paralyzed and dominated by loss. My Narrator by Norm Foster, Directed by Kate McKie Norm Foster does it again! 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? For Lacy and Miles, love is what happens, and with hilarious results. Jewel is presented buy special arrangement with Gary Goddard Agency. My Narrator is presented by special arrangement with the Playwrights Guild of Canada.

Pack of Lies

April 24 – May 9, 2015 By Hugh Whitemore, directed by Kim MacMillan. The Jacksons are a pleasant, middle aged English couple. Their best friends are their Canadian neighbours, the Krogers. All is blissful in their world until an agent (from MI5?) asks to use their teenaged daughter’s bedroom as an observation post to foil a Soviet spy ring operating in the area. The Jacksons become more and more distressed as the agent’s demands increase. They are really put to the test when the agent reveals that the suspected spies are their closest friends. Should they betray their friends? Should they tell their daughter, who loves Auntie Helen and Uncle Peter? Is their whole friendship built on lies? Based on a true story. Presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
