Update - A Bench in the Sun
For Immediate Release
The Grinder Productions/Stage 4 season at the Elora Centre for the Arts is back for another year, this time with a delightful romantic comedy about falling in love and aging gracefully—or something like it.
A Bench in the Sun opens October 23rd at the Centre, and runs to October 25th. It features two “grumpy old men” Burt and Harold, living at Valley View Gardens, a retirement home with “No valley, no view, and a lousy garden.” Burt is the loveable curmudgeon, quiet, moody, dressed in pajamas, and happy to be simply left alone to read his newspaper. Harold, on the other hand, is flamboyant, impeccably dressed and can’t go a minute without doing or saying something to get Burt’s goat.
The two men both have a history behind them, something in their past that they have to get cleared up, but neither one of them is quite ready to confront the other just yet. Luckily, into the picture comes Adrienne, a once very famous actress, now retired, but still very attractive. Burt and Harold fall for her instantly, and the battle to win her favour ensues, with plenty of subtle and not-so-subtle attempts to sabotage each other’s efforts.
In the end, the result is hilarity for the audience, with an undertone of charm and sincerity that will warm your heart, the perfect night out for lovers of all ages. Tickets are $15 each, and are available by calling 519-780-7593 or by clicking on the "Buy tickets" button right here on the blog.
