Performed by Heidelberg Theatre Youth, at the Heidelberg Theatre, Rosanna 19th – 27th AUGUST, 2022
Be prepared to be immersed in an ancient forest and a castle from the 11th century, as well as a community drenched in conspiracy and exploitation. While the Sheriff seeks to exploit the community, he struggles to blame others for his behaviour. In contrast, Robin Hood, works to support the community in the face of evil government. But can Robin out-shoot his competitors in both the archery and the bureaucracy to save the day?
Morgan and Ryan have done an amazing job in motivating the cast, designing the sets and developing and updating the costumes. All for a must-see production.

Monsieur Orgon (Jim Thompson) tries to convince Madame Pernelle – his mother (Catherine Christensen) – of the significance of his wife, Elmire’s (Venetia Macken), revelation!
Tartuffe
Written by Molière and adapted by Christopher Hampton….
directed by Joan Moriarty
Tartuffe, a pious hypocrite, has wheedled his way into the wealthy family of Monsieur Orgon. Orgon, totally besotted by Tartuffe’s charms, plans to give him not only his fortune, but his daughter’s hand in marriage. The struggles of the rest of the family to expose the imposter are both hilarious and risqué.

This funny, poignant and beautifully-written play is an award-winning modern Canadian classic.

Director Terese Maurici’s dynamic team really step up to the plate for this one!
It’s a Wonderful Life [A live radio play]
By Joe Landry – directed by Terese Maurici.
Dynamic performances by a cast – most of whom are changing character every few minutes. One minute we love them, the next, we are affronted by the character’s behaviour – a serious acting challenge in anyone’s book. George Bailey’s dilemma is delivered with song, colour, and convincing dialogue. With one exception, the community of Bedford Falls look like a nice bunch of folk.
Should you get the opportunity to see this production – based on the classic James Stewart film and performed as a 1940s live radio style with a studio audience – it scores pretty well with the heart strings! An absolute “must-see”.
