We've got two great shows lined up for you in our 2020-21 season!
We are starting off with Flaming Idiots, a contemporary farce riding on the antics of its hapless characters. This show was postponed from our 1919-20 season due to COVID-19 concerns. Long-time SOAP actor, behind the scenes worker and board member, Diane Gludovatz, is stepping up to make her directing debut for this production. Rounding out our season will be When the Wind Blows, a comedic drama and satire about preparation for and the aftermath of a nuclear strike in rural England. When the Wind Blows will be directed by Ritchie Kendrick, who is directing his first show since rejoining SOAP in 2018 following a long sabbatical.
The Black Bonspiel of Wully MacCrimmon, previously part of this season has been cancelled for now. Hopefully, we can reschedule it next year.

This is the story of two ladies with a dream. Carla and Phyllis decide that the ladder to success at the post office is missing a few rungs. They know that big money is waiting for people with entrepreneurial spirit and sound business judgement. They have lots of the spirit but little of the judgement, and their new gourmet health food restaurant flounders.
Zippy's, a popular crosstown spot, has been crowded ever since a notorious mobster was shot there over twenty years ago. What if someone could get murdered in their restaurant? Of course, complications ensue through a series of very unlikely events. |
Directed by Ritchie Kendrick
Retired couple, Jim and Hilda Bloggs, have moved to an isolated country cottage in the South East of England. They are decent, houseproud and hopelessly behind the times. Jim hears on the radio that a pre-emptive strike is to be expected. With his government leaflets as his guide, he builds a refuge and gathers emergency rations.
Jim and Hilda emerge after the Bomb to find a devastated, post-nuclear world. Expecting the Powers-That-Be to rescue them, they wait, but eventually drift gently into the darkness, loving each other and uttering fragments of prayer. This tale is clever, humourous, credible, and ultimately heart-breaking. |
