The Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake has announced the line-up of plays at their three theatres next summer.
The current season has been a good one for the company with a number of successes including the one-act lunchtime play THE PRESIDENT - which has been a constant sell out. Their musicals WONDERFUL TOWN and A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC played to near capacity houses, and their concert staging of FOLLIES was a huge crowd-pleaser.
The program for 2009 includes 10 one-act plays by Noël Coward originally presented in London under the umbrella title TONIGHT AT 8:30. The plays will be presented in three programs of 3 plays each plus one lunchtime play.
Here is the full line-up:
“Brief Encounters” (1935/36)) Noel Coward
April 11 to October 24 (Festival - program of 3 one-acts)

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
