The Harbourfront Players are back by popular demand! Maggie’s Getting Married, a comedy by Norm Foster, delighted crowds this March with its hilarious story and brilliant cast of local talent, and so we’re bringing it back for a limited time.
The Duncan family asks you to save the date because their daughter Maggie is getting married!
Or is she? It’s normal for people to have cold feet just before a wedding, but at the post-rehearsal reception, one person – who shouldn’t – recalls the groom as having warm feet. It’s a delightful comedy about love, family, and marriage from Canada’s most-produced playwright Norm Foster (Bedtime Stories, Looking, Love List, Mending Fences, etc.).

From the popular and talented community theatre troupe who brought us Calendar Girls, Whose Wives Are They, Anyway?, and most recently, Lights, Camera, Island!
Bedtime Stories is a zany comedy that brings together six funny and touching tales presented as loosely related vignettes, featuring playwright Norm Foster’s signature comedic debacles laced with mild sexual innuendo.
These “bedtime stories” won’t put you to sleep – you’ll be laughing too hard! A cavalcade of characters with their stories linked by a late night radio contest, a rock and roll concert, a taxi and, of course, a bed. The giggles begin with the opening vignette where Eddie the DJ coaches a middle-aged couple, to “make whoopie” on live radio for $5000, followed by to two old high school friends poignantly reconnecting at the death bed of one, and an odd-couple-style break-and-enter duo who fumble their way through a hilarious burglary attempt.
Then on to shock rocker Tommy Quick who, despite being well past his prime, has to fend off one very adoring fan. Next, an eager yet clumsy exotic dancer is about to hear some unfortunate news from her boss. The final laugh features a pair of funny movers, a directionally-challenged cab driver, and a couple who might be able to repair the hurts of their past.
Bedtime Stories is at the Harbourfront Theatre.

Twenty-eight years ago, successful spy novelist David Kilbride employed Ms. Hopperstaad as his housekeeper … and tonight, he’ll finally learn her first name.
While she knows all there is to know about him, David realizes he knows nothing about the woman who has spent every day for almost three decades in his home. He decides the time has come to get to know her better. Over wine and scotch and more scotch, confessions are made, witty barbs are exchanged, and a friendship is forged.
A new play from a perennial favourite on the Victoria Playhouse stage, this is Norm Foster at his funny and insightful best. On A First Name Basis pairs smart, witty dialogue with well-rounded characters and the result is intelligent and laugh-out-loud funny.
“Witty repartee that proves that comedy can still be smart and sparkling.” – Artsforum.ca
“Funny and enthralling. A phenomenal script.” – Wellington Advertiser
“Foster strikes a chord with audiences all over the English-speaking world due to his striking sense of compassionate realism.”
– Halifax Chronicle Herald
On A First Name Basis by Norm Foster is at the Victoria Playhouse August 5th through September 3rd.
“The sell-out crowd clearly and audibly enjoyed the show and was hugely appreciative. After the performance, I walked past little groups of theatre-goers happily strolling through the streets of Victoria. Conversations I eavesdropped on were all positive.”
“The Melville Boys is already looking like a hit.”
Ivy Wigmore for The Buzz
The Melville Boys by Norm Foster plays at the Victoria Playhouse through July 30.
