May 24 - June 1, 2013 ARSENIC AND OLD LACE

A drama critic reconsiders marriage when he discovers that insanity runs in his family. His family includes two spinster aunts who poison lonely old men with home-made elderberry wine., a brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt and digs locks for the Panama Canal in the cellar., and an escaped convict brother who has received plastic surgery by an alcoholic accomplice.

Arsenic and Old Lace, a madcap black comedy, premiered on Broadway in 1941 and was the hit of the season. It has become best known through the film adaptation starring Cary Grant and directed by Frank Capra.

87th SEASON OF GREAT ENTERTAINMENT IN SARNIA

  November 15 - 23, 2013  : JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR   DREAMCOAT 

Theatre Sarnia begins its 87th Season with this musical based on the "coat of many colors" story of Joseph from the Book of Genesis in the Bible. The show has little dialogue - it is completely sung-throughout. The family friendly storyline, universal themes and catchy music make this show a popular choice for productions from the Broadway stage, to community theatre groups and schools.

December 18 - 22, 2013 : THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER 

This touching family comedy tells the story of the six Herdman children who go to church for the first time after being told that the church offers snacks. Despite protests from other church members, they are give roles in the Sunday School's Christmas play. You will revel in the yuletide chaos as baby angels, church ladies, firefighters, the pageant Director and even the Herdmans discover the true meaning of Christmas.

January 31 - February 8, 2014 : THE MUSIC LESSON

Weaving together the music of Bach, with memories of the Bosnian war and the universal conflicts between teacher and student.

The Music Lesson tells the story of Irena and her husband Ivan - two musicians who escaped the war in Sarajevo to start a new life in Pittsburgh. Shifting elegantly from past to present and resonating with powerful music, this is the tale of two countries, two families and the way they teach and heal each other. 

Though the subject matter sounds a bit depressing, it’s just the opposite. The play is upbeat and full of laughter and hope. Irena and Ivan throw themselves totally into their roles resulting in the audience empathizing with these two unique characters. The all American family they interact with through the course of the drama contrasts their Balkan flavour beautifully.

   March 28 - April 5 , 2014 : LEND ME A TENOR

The opera is being produced as a gala fund raiser for the Cleveland Opera Company. Unfortunately, even before the star leaves his hotel room, everything begins to unravel. What follows is a chain-reaction of mistaken identity, farcical plot twists, double entendres, innuendoes, and constant entrances and exits through many doors.This madcap comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
