Theatre Burlington Combines Comedy and Drama

Theatre Burlington enters its 56th season with its tried and true format of comedy and drama. Season ticket orders for the upcoming season at the Drama Centre at Central Park are already well under way and may be submitted on line at www.theatreburlington.on.ca or by calling 905-637-1728. Murder at the Howard Johnson’s by Ron Clark and Sam Bobrick
is a comedy with a strong dose of suspense and dollops of absurd farce. Our opening production runs Sept. 19-20, 25-26-27 and Oct. 2-3-4.

Moving towards Christmas we have a play for the children by Vic Hyde, our own local playwright. His special version of Cinderella runs Nov. 28-29-30, and Dec. 4-5-6 with many
daytime and evening performances. The play in the New Year is a compelling drama, Copenhagen by Michael Frayn. This is a tense drama that takes us back to 1941 when Nazi Germany was developing weapons of mass destruction. The story is about friendships that are tested in the horror of war. Jan. 30-31, Feb. 5-6-7-8, 12-13-14.

Finally in the spring we have an exceedingly funny play about – playgoers! A Night in the Theatre by Lawrence Casler will have you roaring with laughter at the antics of these wannabe theatre people. April 17-18, 23-24-25, 30, May 1-2.
