Theatre lovers in New Westminster, get ready for a good season ahead.
The Royal Canadian Theatre Company is bringing its 2018/19 season back to the Royal City, starting with a production of Arsenic and Old Lace in October.
Joseph Kesselroff’s black comedy – a classic Broadway hit starring Boris Karloff before it was adapted for film with Cary Grant – is scheduled to be onstage at the Anvil Centre Oct. 17 to 20. Jacqueline Becher, Michael Charrois and Steve Weller star as the two dotty sisters and their menacing nephew.
Then, for the holiday season, the company is set to present Hansel, Gretel & the Strolling Players, a traditional British panto written and directed by Ellie King. It’s set to be onstage at the Massey Theatre Jan. 4 and 5, 2019.
The season will wind up with the farce A Bedfull of Foreigners, March 15 and 16 at the Anvil Centre. Dave Freeman’s comedy is described as “Fawlty Towers meets Benny Hill.”
Ticket series savers are available for $79 for all three plays, or $55 for seniors and students, with extra deals for family packs and groups. Check out all the details at www.rctheatreco.com.
