Ontario's newest summer theatre,
Fergus' Theatre On The Grand, has
announced its summer line-up.
Under the watchful eye of Artistic
Director John Snowdon, the theatre
will be presenting a trio of hits
destined to delight audiences of all
ages.
The season begins on June 30
with Nurse Jane Goes to Hawaii, a
comedy by playwright Allan
Stratton. Described by Newsday as
"howlingly funny", the play
follows romance novelist Vivien
Bliss on her romantic weekend
with respectably married
schoolteacher Edgar Chisholm. The
ensuing chain of outrageous events
is sure to have audiences rolling in
the aisles. "Nurse Jane" contains all
the classic elements of farce -
confused identities, disguise, long-
lost relatives, ambushes, chases and
glorious mayhem. Nurse Jane Goes,
To Hawaii, with its cast of bizarre
characters, will tickle even the most
sober of funny bones.
The second production is the
critically acclaimed thriller,
Deathtrap. One of the great popular
successes of recent Broadway
history this ingeniously crafted play
offers theatre goers a skilful blend

musical friends, Jim Parker, Lance

spontaneous laughter. Described as
two-thirds a thriller and one-third a
devilishly clever comedy,
Deathtrap runs from July 21 to
August 7.

There Goes the Bride by talented
playwrights Ray Cooney and John
Chapman. This outrageously funny
British farce revolves around a

three productions will run
