Another tour-de-force for our actors who again play all the roles in this brilliantly funny and affectionate look back at the classic Hollywood comedies of the 30s and 40s. This Western Exclusive remount picks up where we were forced to stop in 2020 due to some bug or other.
The year is 1938 and the courageous and hardworking Mary Hayes is trying to find a new career. She sets her sights on the male-dominated world of newspaper journalism. The editor-in-chief, sets her against his self-absorbed ace reporter, Jeff Kincaid. If Jeff writes a better story, he gets to keep his job. If Mary wins, she will replace the star newshound. What story do they cover? A society wedding! A nod to the zany screwball comedies of that time period, this play is full snappy banter, goofy characters and humour that will have you falling out of your seat.
Abruptly ended by COVID, we are now proud bring you the re-launch of our Western Canadian Premiere of this affectionate and hilarious spoof featuring outrageous characters with the added spice of a mystery!

We were in the audience at Surrey Arts Centre last night. The play was thoroughly delightful. You were your always talented and artistic self and the audience loved you for it. We went home and checked out the 1949 Blithe Spirit movie with Margaret Rutherford. So wonderful to be back at live theatre. Thank you to all who made this happen.
