May 26 & 27 NOSE CREEK PLAYERS RAISE CURTAIN ON NEW SEASON
AS WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE WROTE, “ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE, AND ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN MERELY PLAYERS,” – the past couple of years of restrictions are a performance many Airdonians are glad to see the curtain go down on as the curtain rises on another season for the Nose Creek Players.
In addition to their annual Christmas play (see Christmas Events listings for details), Nose Creek Players are producing a trio of shows between March and June to appeal to a variety of audience tastes.
A Night of Monologues MARCH 4 948 BREWING COMPANY
A Night of Monologues is something a little different, but that promises to be a lot of fun. Come as you are for an evening of adult beverages and amusing stories. This is a free event and anyone is welcome to watch or perform. There’s even an advance workshop, says Karalee Braun, Nose Creek Players’ Director of Sponsorship, for people who’d like to try writing their own monologue to perform on this night. The fun starts around 8, but get there early to get in the mood.
Alice in Wonderland
Directed by: Garry Buzzard
MAY 26, 27 BERT CHURCH THEATRE
As the curtain rises on this classic Lewis Carroll tale for all ages, Alice slides into view at the end of her long fall down the rabbit-hole. It is a more delightful place for the audience than for Alice, who is trying desperately to get back home with help from the likes of the Mad Hatter, the Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and a cast of other oddball characters.
“We had started doing this show right before Covid,” says Braun. “I’ve always loved the whimsical nature of this show. I’m not sure what we’ll bring specifically that will make this show stand out, but each director comes a variety of different ideas and visions.”
Tickets for Alice in Wonderland are on sale now on the Bert Church LIVE Theatre website. The shows are Friday, May 26 at 7:30 and Saturday, May 27 at 2 and 7:30. Cost is $21 for youth (17 and under) and seniors (55+) or $25 for adults.
The Pink Unicorn
Directed by: Robin McKittrick Written by Elise Forier Edie
JUNE 16, 17, 18
Some battles only a mother can fight. When Trisha Lee’s daughter announces that she is genderqueer, the small-town Texas widow’s world is upended. Suddenly at odds with her faith and her family, Trisha must struggle to understand and accept her daughter’s truth. Hilarious and heartfelt, The Pink Unicorn explores a mother’s boundless love for her child.
“This script is unbelievably powerful and will take the audience through an incredible emotional journey,” says Braun. “Having just read it, I laughed, cried, and was flabbergasted at parts; I absolutely loved it.”
Presented in partnership with Airdrie Pride Society. Venue and admission details TBA. Please visit nosecreekplayers.com for details. life
