Introducing A Bench in the Sun

Yesterday I told you about the Innocents, our Hallowe'en show at the Fergus Grand Theatre. For those of you who may not be interested in the frightening prospects of a ghost story, we have another show about some people who aren't dead just quite yet.

It's A Bench in the Sun, a play about three seniors living in a retirement home. There's Burt, the curmudgeonly accountant with no regard to fashion who's got a score to settle... with Harold, the dandy-ish "man-about-town" who can barely stand but still comes out of his room every morning looking to impress. In between them comes Adrienne, the former actress, very famous and instantly irresistible to both of the men. Thus a battle for her affection ensues, and alongside it the fate of their lives at the home is played out, when it is revealed that their home is about to be sold to a developer and the residents shipped off somewhere else.

A Bench in the Sun is a charming, funny play that will keep audiences of all ages giggling. It opens October 23rd at the Elora Centre for the Arts and runs the 23rd, 24th and 25th at 8pm, with a 2pm matinee on the 25th as well. Tickets are available by calling 519-780-7593, or visiting the Elora Centre for the Arts.
