While we are still on hold because of Covid-19, planning for next season continues. We have to remain optimistic about vaccine rollouts through this coming summer, and SOAP theatre has booked time slots for our usual 3-production season at Venables Theatre for 2021-2022. The tentative dates are:

• Fall Production: November 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 *
• Winter Production: February 4, 5, 6, 11, 12
• Spring Production: April 22, 23, 24, 29, 30

               * Fall dates corrected from original post
We would still like to produce the shows we were planning for last season, which were Flaming Idiots, Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon and When the Wind Blows. However, this is subject to change depending on cast and director availability and the actual pace of reopening theatres to regular audiences in British Columbia.

As a filler, SOAP is also considering a shorter show, about an hour long, comprised of comedy sketches in a variety show format that can economically be offered to limited audiences of up to 50 people. Again, depending on when theatres will be permitted to resume operations in a limited capacity, such a production will be considered for late spring or early fall of 2021.

Flaming Idiots is a contemporary farce, telling the story of two postal workers with a dream and their efforts to become successful despite themselves. Carl and Phil (or 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  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?

Eight actors required; mix of male and female; ages flexible 20s to 70s. No preparation required; cold read from script.
