It is time for the Not So Grand Players to pull their costumes out of mothballs and get set to bring more music and laughter to the Fergus Grand Theatre stage.
Plans are in motion to bring back to life a presentation of All Sales Final, one of the funniest plays brought to stage by the group.
It is a musical comedy for the entire family, written by Connie Dickinson, Florence Arkell, and Linda Dolinsek.
The premiere run of the show in 1997 played to a full house every night, with some folks coming back a second time saying, “I laughed so hard the first time, I thought I might have missed something.”
The plot deals with a group of energetic, enthusiastic, inventive women who are not willing to let anything get in the way of their goal to attend a giant bingo at the Sky Dome in Toronto – no matter what their husbands say. But first, they have to raise the money for the entrance fee.
Although this show is not on stage until the middle of November, auditions are being held June 14 and 15 at 7pm at Heritage River Retirement Home, (the old Wellington Terrace). This will give the directors, Arkell and Dolinsek, enough time to cast the necessary 20 roles.
As always, profits from the show will go back into the community. For information regarding the auditions, contact Dickinson at 519-846-9950.
