Directors’ Note
Welcome to season 5!
Good grief!
We were thrilled to make it through season one...to be here celebrating our fifth
is very exciting for us. To list all the people who helped us would be impossible...
but you know who you are, and we are grateful.
Once again this year we are humbled and awed by the talent that has joined us
for our Festival - on stage and behind the scenes. We send a sincere thank you to
our entire company. You are the reason we’re here.
To our corporate sponsors - thank you. The fact that you would back us in this
venture speaks volumes of your commitment to the community. Thank you for
helping us bring summer theatre to our City.
We are very pleased to present this season’s line up. We never thought we’d do a
musical but here we are with the fun and heart-warming CHARLIE BROWN. Quirky
comedy is a favourite of ours, and THE ANGER IN ERNEST & ERNESTINE is a great,
fun show. Telling stories is one of Daniel McIvor’s best talents and MARION BRIDGE
is a great story of family. Al Pittman is a hero of ours. To bring WEST MOON back
to Corner Brook is something we are exceptionally proud of. Speaking of which,
our pride of place comes shining through in TYME. There’s no other place we’d
rather be.
We are fortunate to have the support of wonderful people in our lives.
To Wendy, Matt, Amy, Henry and Tim...thank you.
We’re already planning for season 6! So sit back, relax (turn off your cell phones
and unwrap those candies NOW) and enjoy the shows.
