It seems Will and his neighbor, Rip Tracey (Howard DeLong) – a velvet-voiced radio Dee-Jay have a penchant for juggling girls like antacid tablets. Poor Will has a a go-go girl (Mary Fabian) in the living room – with her motor running – and a devoted young lady (Cynthia LaRose) in the bedroom – but that’s O.K. since she loves him. Rip has a girl in his apartment already when Will calls on him to also entertain the go-go girl. When Will’s Daughter appears to complicate matters – not only are explanations in order – but his daughter has a taxi cab driver (Gordon Topping) in tow and problems of her own. How is it all resolved? Come and see.

Jonathan Hardcastle, a wealthy Northern mill owner, offers $10,000 to Billy Hickory Wood, the son of a former business associate, providing he is the only living relative. Billy arrives in anticipation of collecting his money. However, it isn't long before a procession of "Hickory Woods" follow, all claiming to be the sole living relative and rightful beneficiary. These unexpected arrivals create a seemingly endless string of mistaken identities and hilarious confusion that keep this comedy hopping!
Shows around the province:

Until October 10: Regina Globe Theatre presents "The Importantce of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. The Upper Crust, High Society. Whatever the name, Jack and Algernon are at it. They're rich.

The elegance and comical genius of Oscar Wilde shines brightest when our two snooty brats fall in love with their respective ladies, and their string of lies and mistaken identities begin to unravel.
October 10-13: Regina Little Theatre presents "The Diary of Anne Frank" by Frances Goodrich & Albert Hackett
newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman and Directed by Sally Crooks. Originally adapted from Otto Frank's book "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl", the play won the 1956 Pulitzer Prize and virtually every other coveted prize of the theatre. In this gripping new adaptation, newly discovered writings from the diary of Anne Frank, as well as Holocaust survivor accounts, are interwoven to create a contemporary impassioned story of the lives of people persecuted under Nazi rule. Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. This is an impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, the play captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence - their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief - for two dark years.

Until October 8: Big Boys by Ana Rose
Opening/Artist Talk: Friday Sept. 7 at 7:00pm. Aurated by Like Keith.
Ana Rose's has painted uncommissioned portraits of the "Big Boys" of business, the successful heads of corporations which are constantly in the news. She has, based on newspaper photos, captured intense joyful expressions on their faces that make them seem strangely human, normal, even goofy and needy. Rose combines this emotional portrayal with factual information on trading cards, revealing their reason for exuberance, their salaries, share values, stock market performance sobering figures when compared to the viewers income. "The Big Boy project is a critique of Big Business. It looks at portraiture as newspaper clipping, fine art oil painting, and trading card. It underlines the gap between ordinary citizens and business men who live in a world constructed by controlled imagery. It makes plain the conflict I feel about being involved in a world in which a few individuals and their corporations have too much power and it stresses the support these men receive from a media that champion their world view." Rose
October 12-November 25: Oka, Summer 1990 by Benoit Aquin/Robert Frechette/Peter Sibbald.
Opening Reception: Friday, Oct. 12th at 7:00pm.
A touring exhibition from the Canadian Museum of Photography.
The three photographers took a different approach to the documentation of the OKA crisis. "What captured their attention was the media circus itself, and the frantic race for the sensational story and for air time. Zigzagging between civil authorities, political powers, the army, the Mohawks and the media representatives, they documented the mediatization of the crisis and the strategies used by each of the groups concerned to capture public attention and sympathy".
