Actors must be available for rehearsals from September 24 - November 4 at the Bailey Theatre. Rehearsals will be scheduled to accommodate availability wherever possible but are expected to be Wednesday and Friday evening at 7pm, and likely a weekend time to be established by availability.
Actors must be available for performances dates:
1 performance on a date from November 5 - 9, 2025, at Village Theatre in Qualicum as part of their One-Act Play Festival.
We are also working on performance dates in early November at the Bailey Theatre, performed in the lobby for an immersive audience experience.
This is a full production, not a staged reading.
All actors are required to become NTG members if they are not so already (membership is $25 for one year). All roles are volunteer.
The play contains some coarse language and discussions of abuse. If you are unsure about content and would like further context before committing, please inquire with director Mary Littlejohn at
