Outside Mullingar a crowd favourite
Outside Mullingar played in Oliver at the Frank Venables Theatre April 20 to 28 to universal acclaim from over 600 patrons. Guests were lined up after the shows to thank and praise the cast for their great portrayals of Tony, Anthony, Aoife and Rosemary. One senior audience member, reported to have been a lifetime attendee of professional and community theatre, declared that he had in all his years, never felt inclined to speak to cast after a show until he saw our performance. He just had to say "Thanks" and "great Job!"
We want to congratulate the Producer, Director, cast and crew on this fantastic run! If you missed this great performance in Oliver, there is still a chance: SOAP plays at the Okanagan Zone Theatre Festival in Vernon's Powerhouse Theatre on the evening of Thursday May 24. Old Love Completes Successful Run
SOAP Theatre's winter production of Norm Foster's Old Love wrapped up two weekends of performances in Oliver and Osoyoos on February 10.
The board of directors would like to congratulate the cast and crew for an acclaimed and successful run and thank our patrons for their support! See you in the spring for our next show. |
Great Crowds for The Game's Afoot
Over 630 people came out to enjoy this great comedy-thriller in Oliver between November 2nd and 4th. The Game's Afoot (or Holmes for the Holidays) was named the “Best Mystery Play of 2012” by The Mystery Writers of America. It is a fast-paced ensemble piece filled with great roles, and kept everyone guessing 'who done it?' right up the very end of the show. The cast (Jim Dinwoody, Nathan Linders, Jen Jensen, Angie Stuart, Crag Bjornson, Connie Mythen, Diane Gludovatz and Andrea Furlan) all put on a superb performance, enhanced by spectacular period costuming (Bernice Myllyniemi) and great light and sound effects (Tom Szalay, Trevor Leigh, Brian Hesje). Craig Bjornson designed and built the wonderful art deco set in addition to his acting role. The Game's Afoot was directed by Ted Osborne and co-produced by Patrick Turner and Andrea Furlan. Keeping each show running smoothly was stage manager, Jackie Brockholm. If you missed this performance, you can see further details on its show page in the archives section of this web site. And ... don't miss out on seeing our remaining two shows this season, Old Love and Outside Mullingar. Tickets are available now. |

Since You Left Us Award-winning production at 2017 Okanagan Zone Theatre Festival Cast and Crew did a great job at the 2017 O-Zone Theatre Festival in Salmon Arm, bringing home four awards:
|
Set in her once-charming East Vancouver home, we encounter a peculiar relationship between Denny and her "fur-son" Jack, a very senior Jack Russell Terrier. Denny's siblings, Mike and Fanny, each carry their own baggage; and after meeting their mother, Dolly, we realize the apples have not fallen far from the tree. Mike's long-time friend, Chuck, shows up for Dolly's birthday party because.... well let's just say it's not to visit with Mike. Rounding out the family tree is Fanny's son Danno. Although we can hardly blame Danno for having run away, he really was lucky to be born into this family.
