THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG

Royal manitoba theatre centre

JOHN HIRSCH MAINSTAGE

Directed by Dennis Garnhum

Produced in Association with The Citadel and Theatre Calgary.


Despite their spotty track record, the Cornley Drama Society has high hopes for their new production. The Murder at Haversham Manor should be a real crowd pleaser. Who doesn’t love a murder mystery set in a grand manor – during a fancy engagement party, no less? Sadly, if you believe this show will go off without a hitch, you’d be dead wrong. Thwarted by missing props, a malfunctioning set and some questionable acting choices, this ill-fated production unravels at an alarming rate. By the end of the show, solving a murder is the least of everyone’s worries.
 
Called “a riotous explosion of comedy” (The Daily Beast) and “a gut-busting hit” (New York Times), The Play That Goes Wrong is the right choice if you’re looking for a hilarious night at the theatre.

My First Hundred Years - Cabaret

  • Citadel Theatre - Rice Theatre (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Acclaimed singer/actor/hoofer Andrew MacDonald-Smith has been a dependably constant presence on Edmonton’s musical and theatrical stages for the last twenty years, and one might be tempted to think he’s spent his whole career here.

In this musical cabaret reminiscence, he reveals that this really isn’t the case, and that before alighting on Alberta’s shores in the early aughts, he’d already been enjoying a decades-long career that took him around the world and involved some truly remarkable musical collaborations.

Among the stories Andrew relates are how he came to be the bridge between the two Berlins–Weimar and Irving, and how he gained access to the songs George Gershwin considered “far too good to be standards”. He’ll tell of time spent in Ivor Novello’s England, Yip Harburg’s America, and William Bolcom’s Academia. And inspired by his recent turn in the Citadel Theatre’s 9 to 5, he revels in a new musical genre: Partonmusik.

All that and much more- a century of music-making in point of fact - presented in collaboration with pianist Frances Thielmann and playwright Stewart Lemoine.

Spanning across decades, this musical tale reveals the inspiring behind-the-music story of The Four Seasons, their rise to fame and the trials that could tear them apart. You will want to sing along to classics like “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man” before the show is over.
