The Glass Menagerie was first performed during our opening season in 1949 and we are proud to revive this classic. Fiona Reid stars as Amanda, a single parent, is determined to improve the lives of her children. Daughter Laura is withdrawn in her illusionary world and son Tom is rebellious and yearns for adventure. This entertaining memory play uses humour and pathos to examine a family unraveling, lost in their individual fantasies and dreams.

Norm Foster’s comedy hit The Melville Boys, was first produced at The Red Barn in 1992. This new production captures the essence of Foster’s writing: it’s funny yet profoundly emotional. Brothers Owen and Lee Melville arrive at their aunt’s cottage for a weekend of fishing and beer, but their plans are thrown out of whack by the arrival of two sisters. The women become catalysts for a humorous and unsentimental look at four lives in transition.

Performed at The Red Barn Theatre during the 1968 and 1982 seasons, The Fantasticks is the world’s longest running musical. It tells an allegorical story concerning two eccentric fathers who put up a wall between their houses to ensure that their children don’t fall in love. The result is a timeless fable. It is punctuated by a series of catchy and memorable songs, many of which have become standards, including “Soon It’s Gonna Rain” and “Try to Remember.”

We have chosen to conclude our season with the new comedy Harvest by Ken Cameron. Allan and Charlotte have retired from farming, sold the land and moved to a condo in the city. Not wanting to part with their old farmhouse, they rent it to Ron, a young man who seems too good to be true. The tale is based on a true story of a couple that nearly lost their life savings when their family farm was turned into something not quite legit.
