A hit comedy from Norm Foster, Canada’s most beloved playwright!

When veteran stage director Jeremy Dutton saw a production of Norm Foster’s play ‘On A First Name Basis’ in St. Catharines recently he knew two things right away: first, the show is a deliciously irresistible winner, and second, he just had to bring it here to Perth.

On A First Name Basis is one of Norm Foster’s more recent plays, and it proves that the tools he has wielded so skillfully for years as a playwright — humour, heart, and humanity — have become even sharper with age.

This is a simple, intimate, remarkably engaging show starring two of the Studio Theatre’s finest veteran actors, Hugh McCulloch and Krista Duff. In the hands of these two mature and capable players –and under the direction of Jeremy Dutton, known for his skill with humour as well as drama — On A First Name Basis is a play that’s well worth getting to know.

On Thursday, January 25th, 2018, PAUL REDDICK visits Perth’s Studio Theatre as part of his Winter Blues Tour. Reddick’s music is said to be an artful blend of blues and roots that melds poetry and mystery, darkness and light – and he is, by all accounts, a masterful harmonica player and an extraordinary songwriter. He will take the stage at the Studio Theatre at 8pm.

Melding poetry, mystery, darkness and light, along with an extensive knowledge of the history and traditions of blues music is what makes Paul Reddick one of the most popular figures on the blues and roots music scene today. For over 25 years he’s been writing and performing his eclectic brand of blues, bringing the art form to new frontiers with his rapacious, deep vocals, masterful harmonica playing and song writing.

FiNI (Film Night International) Presents: gets underway in Perth in January with another exceptional line-up of critically acclaimed and award-winning films. At the series opener they will be celebrating their 15th anniversary of bringing the best of Canadian and international films to the community.

Wednesday, January 24th, 2018: LOVING VINCENT, a movie that explores the circumstances of the death of Vincent van Gogh.
 
 

The Story

 
 
On July 27, 1890, a gaunt figure stumbled down a drowsy high street at twilight in a small French country town with blood leaking from his belly. This was Vincent van Gogh, then a little known artist. His tragic death has long been known; what has remained a mystery is how and why he came to be shot. Loving Vincent tells that story.

Passes to all 9 films are $90. (the remaining four films of the series will be announced in due course as bookings are made). Tickets at the door, if available, are $10 each. Matinees start at 2pm and evening screenings begin at 7pm, at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth.

Film Night International is a non-profit group run entirely by volunteers in partnership with the Film Circuit, a division of the Toronto International Film Festival Group that now has almost 200 locations across Canada screening independent films in communities that would otherwise not have the opportunity to see them. All Film Night International’s profits, after expenses, are donated to the Perth Public Library. To watch the official trailer, please click here.
