Mississauga Players Announce 2011-2012 Season

The Mississauga Players are pleased to return "home" to the Maja Prentice Theatre (formerly the Burnhamthorpe Library Theatre) for the 2011 - 2012 season. Renovations to the theatre include a new look foyer, improved technical and backstage faculties and a generally rejuvenated facility.

We appreciate our subscribers and regular patrons who followed us to our temporary location in Port Credit over the past year and a half and are glad to be back at the corner of Burnhamthorpe and Dixie for our 61st season - which includes the follwoing productions:

LOVE BY THE BOLT by George Feydeau, translated and adapted by J. Paul Marcoux

November 17 - 19 (8 pm), November 20 (2 pm) & November 24 - 26 (8 pm)

Written and set in 19th century France this riotous play turns the world of “l'amour" upside down. Doctor Moulineaux is having an innocent affair (hoping it will "improve") with one of his married patients. In an attempt to conceal a recent indiscretion, he tells his wife that he has been sitting up all night with a terminally sick friend, who at that very moment appears on the scene!  This signals a series of impulsive cover-ups and wild antics which in turn result in absolute chaos. As complication is added to complication, the pace continues to build until the entire world seems to have gone mad.  Finally, a semblance of order is restored, but one senses that tomorrow it will probably start all over again!

STEEL MAGNOLIAS by Robert Harling

March 22 - 24 (8 pm), March 25 (2 pm) & March 29 - 31 (8 pm)

This touching play is set in Truvy's salon,  Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done, and benefit from its wisecracking, owner’s free advice. In its emotional ending, Steel Magnolias reveals the special qualities and strength of each rich character.


BEDTIME STORIES by Norm Foster

May 31 - June 2 (8 pm), June 3 (2 pm) & June 7 - 9 (8 pm)

In this quick paced comedy, we follow interweaving characters connected by time, place, and a most unusual radio broadcast. A high school dating disaster is revisited 22 years later. Two bumbling thieves enter a house and find more than they bargained for. A 50-year old rocker tries to get a young groupie out of his hotel room. And that’s just three of the stories!
