The Sidekick Players Club presents Senior Follies by Billy Wayne St. John, the first show of what is sure to be a great season of live theatre at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre.
The rocking is not done in chairs at the Pleasant Valley Retirement Home, especially since Howard (Brad Felton) discovered Viagra!
The feisty divorcee, Sarah Jane (Linda Berndt) and lovely widow, Mildred (Jan Chadburn) who are constantly scurrying out of his reach and refuse to play strip poker or skinny dip in the hot tub, breathe a sigh of relief when Sybil (Lisa Green), a new resident arrives with her brother, Lowell (Harry Pering), who actually seems to enjoy Howard’s advances.
They turn out to be something they’re not and chaos erupts. Throw in a less than energetic wife, Bernice (Bernice Fehr) and her husband, Douglas (Simon Ruddell) a gardening fanatic, a timid resident on diuretics, Iris (Carole Inkson) and Mrs. Rivers (Carol Jones) the manager and you’ve got one very lively seniors’ residence!
Don’t miss this hilarious, wonderful comedy.
Making their directorial debut are Jeff and Teala Pannell, a father/daughter duo.
They’ve brought together this amazing cast of “mature adults,” and they won’t disappoint! Senior Follies runs from Friday, Oct. 13 to Saturday, Oct. 28.
Evening performances at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and matinees at 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are $20 for adults while seniors (60-plus) and students are $18. All performances are at The Tsawwassen Arts Centre, located at 1172 56th Street. Reservations and tickets call 604-288-2415.
