A bad year for tomatoes

No, I’m not quoting the farmer’s almanac. The Oakville Players theatre group is on stage at the Oakville Centre for Performing Arts and that’s the title of the show. I had the privilege of attending the opening night performance last night. Since my wife Kristen is in the show, I’m a little biased, but I will say it’s good entertainment value if you’re up for a good laugh. I had a great time, and the whole production is the same high quality I've come to expect from the Oakville Players. It’s about a crazy community of neighbours in the “sticks” who manage to make a lot of drama, and whole lot of silliness out of pretty much nothing. Krissie Rutherford from the Oakville Beaver wrote, “everyone knows those nosy neighbours who won't mind their own business” and that is a good summary of the plot foundation without giving too much away. I’m no professional theatre reviewer, but the comedy comes from the nutty characters (Kristen being one of them) that make up the cast. If you laughed at Three’s Company, or Gilligan’s Island, you’ll probably laugh at this show too. Show times, ticket prices, and availability are all available at the Oakville Centre for Performing Arts website.
