Bingo Ladies

STUDIO THEATRE PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS : BINGO LADIES

A New Musical by Grant Tilly – Directed by C.Lee Bates

Lucky charms, big dreams and a troll named Thor. It’s Friday night at the bingo hall and the gloves are off! Carol needs to pay off her debts. Sandi’s hot for Lou, the rock n’ roll bingo caller.  And there’s Irene, the cranky old know-it-all, oxygen tank in tow, who always wins. When Carol steals Irene’s lucky spot, it sets off a course of events that none of them could have predicted. A brand new musical about friendship, gambling and just how far you’ll go for the big win.

Bingo Ladies is co-production of Studio Theatre and Indie Women Production.  This is a charity event in support of the Jillian O’Conner Children’s Education Fund. There will be a silent auction and other fun event in the theatre lobby at each performance.

 The Last Deadman

BarnDoor Theatre Presents “The Last Deadman”: David Jacklin’s legendary drama with music about Canada’s last fatal duel.

First performed in 1983 (the 150th anniversary of the duel), this intense drama looks at the effect of the duel on its victor — a man who very nearly became Canada’s first prime minister!

More than simply a story of a lady’s slighted honour, the duel had far-reaching consequences for the shaping of our nation.

Told with drama, music, humour and excitement, it is a challenging and surprising multi-media theatrical event.

“It’s an extrication challenge,” said Jean Richardson who is helping Aidan Ryan and Calvin Cooke to organize the event that will take place May 27 and 28 at the Perth Fairgrounds from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.

There will be team scenarios and local scrap yards have donated more than two dozen cars to crush, but they’re still looking for old cars if you have one or two to spare. Tax receipts will be given.

Teams will be judged on their ability to perform, and team work, communication, Richardson said.

“There are three opportunities to perform including with limited tools, unlimited heavy hydraulics and rapid – meaning they will be talking to “patients” who will be on the verge of passing out.

The local fire and rescue team will not be competing in this event, as they are the hosts.

The Challenge will be limited to 15 teams. 6 people per team. All teams competing in the event will be registered with TERC. Visit www.terccanada.ca for details.

You can participate by checking the maple syrup producer map page for a producer near you and plan an outing to a number of producers in your area of interest. Please be sure to read the description of each sugarhouse to know where they are located and the activities they offer.
