Some Assembly Required
Produced by:
Directed by:
Mom and Dad aren't going to have Christmas this year -- or so they think. When their three grown-up children unexpectedly return home Christmas Eve -- and hide out down in the basement with the barbed-wire, Barbies & BB gun -- it seems that Christmas might just happen after all.
“Some Assembly Required” is Eugene Stickland’s often hilarious, but deeply moving portrayal of a dysfunctional family at Christmas. In 1995, this play was a finalist for the Governor General's Award in Drama. Come and find out if a rubber chicken can really save Christmas?
Suds
Produced by:
Directed by:
Musical direction by:
SUDS is the delightful musical story of a young teenage girl and the four guardian angels who come to teach her about finding true love. It takes place in a Laundromat during the sensational 60's. SUDS is loaded with good clean fun, bubbling energy and over 50 well-known songs that topped the charts of that decade.
There is no doubt that SUDS will be cleaning up at the box office once again, as it takes the stage at the Whitby Centennial Building!

Leading Ladies
Produced by:
Directed by:
Laugh till your sides split, with this hilarious comedy about two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, who find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania.
When they hear that an old lady is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. After they find out, that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces, romantic entanglements abound, as Leo falls in love with the old lady’s vivacious niece, Meg, who’s engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there’s a wide world out there, but it’s not until she meets “Maxine and Stephanie” that she finally gets a taste of it.
