For the Advance
The players of Castor Little Theatre performed their first show to a large crowd on Feb. 23rd.
Around 145 people spread around 20 tables had tickets for the brunch theatre showing of the play Dry Streak, written by Leeann Minogue.
The play has a very rural Canadian theme, being set in small-town Saskatchewan during the 1980s.
The show is one with which many people in the rural areas of the prairies can relate, chronicling the adventure of a big city, vegetarian, ski-instructing girl from Calgary who moves to the farm of her boyfriend’s parents in rural Saskatchewan during a drought in 1988.
The thespians putting on the project have been hard at work polishing their performances for the opening since the fall, and Director Don Sisson is happy with how the first performance went.
“It went really good,” said Sisson after the show.
“I’m overwhelmed by the quality [of the performance].”
Dry Streak marks the 38th play for the theatre group, which has seen many people come and go over the years. The 2020 performance has a good mix of new and veteran actors that many people who have attended before will recognize.
With the first show out of the way, Castor Little Theatre will be performing the show a further seven times, with a teen night, a general admission night, four dinner theatre evenings, and one more Sunday brunch show.
Tickets remain for all shows, including the finale which will be taking place on March 7th.
