SUMMARY:Tom\, Dick & Harry
DESCRIPTION:Tom and his wife are about to adopt a baby — it’s the happiest day of their lives… or at least it would have been if Tom’s well-meaning brothers\, Dick and Harry\, hadn’t decided to “help.” \nTheir efforts quickly spiral out of control\, resulting in two illegal immigrants\, a van full of contraband cigarettes\, and one very inconvenient dead body! \nWith the arrival of the Supervisor from the Adoption Agency and the local Police Constable\, Tom’s quick thinking is pushed to the limit. But surely things can’t get any worse… can they? \nOh yes\, they can! \nDick and Harry’s ever-helpful plans go from bad to utterly disastrous\, adding a Russian Mafia mobster and a reality TV crew into the mix. Then it really starts to get complicated! \nWe’re thrilled to present this Amateur Community Theatre Production\, by special arrangement with Samuel French Ltd and Play Bureau Ltd.

SUMMARY:Come From Away
DESCRIPTION:Set to a pulsating music blend of Irish folk/rock\, COME FROM AWAY is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander\, Newfoundland\, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover\, when 38 planes\, carrying thousands of people from around the globe\, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11\, 2001. \nUndaunted by culture clashes and language barriers\, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travellers with music\, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
