Sault Theatre Workshop kicks off the 2018 season this week

NEWS RELEASE
SAULT THEATRE WORKSHOP
************************
Sault Theatre Workshop (STW) kicks off their 2018 theatre productions with Hilda’s Yard, a nostalgic family comedy written by Norm Foster, one of Canada’s most prolific playwrights.

A heartwarming, nostalgic comedy that lovingly harkens back to a simpler time with touching insight to show the unbreakable ties that bind a family together. Hilda and hubby Sam, are recent empty-nesters, keen to enjoy life after raising two children. Their hopes are symbolized by a brand-new television set Sam purchases, visions of cozy evenings on the couch dancing in his head, blissfully unaware of the chaos that is about to ensue. Then their son Gary loses his job, daughter Janey leaves her husband and both adult children boomerang back to their nonplussed parents for an extended and unexpected stay.

As soon as the two siblings are together or interacting with their parents, they quickly fall into old ways of communicating – pouting, whining, and foot stomping that ends up being very funny. Things really stir up when Gary’s bookie, Beverly and his star-crossed lover, Bobbi show up. With a name like Fluck there’s potential for things going askew and of course, they do, as the play explores family dynamics with love and laughter.

STW is thrilled to have this comedy for their first 2018 play. Hilda’s Yard will be directed by returning director George Houston. To purchase your tickets visit the Station Mall Box Office or pay at the door.
