Century Church Theatre in Hillsburgh opens its Summer Festival July 14 with the outrageous comedy Sadie Flynn Comes to Big Oak by Norm Foster.
The show is directed by Neville Worsnop, and stars seasoned performers Carol Beauchamp, Tamara Kunder, Wayne Moore, Frank Rempel, and Linda Spence.
If you‘ve ever lived in small-town Canada, you will feel you know each one of the characters in this charming and hilarious play.
Sadie Flynn, a convicted husband-killer just released from prison, gets off the bus at Millie’s Cabin café, a meeting-place where the problems of everyday life are dissected.
She is taken on as a waitress by the owner, an ex-hockey-player and ladies’ man, and the gossip mill cranks up several notches.
Strange things start happening, and the locals begin to wonder whether Sadie is sweet or sinister. Why does Orson’s coin collection arouse more than interest among the ladies? What have Annie Oakley and the Lone Ranger to do with the butt-shooting incidents?
The show runs July 14 to 24, with evening performances on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and 2:30 pm matinees on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Dinner may be enjoyed at the theatre on July 15, for only $14.95, all inclusive, and must be pre-booked. There is also a Silent Auction which runs all summer.
