by Jerry MayerDirected by Kim ShawMore Details…Selected dates from November 5th to November 21st, 2015 ASPIRIN & ELEPHANTS is a hilarious romantic comedy with six very strong roles bursting with the kind of witty dialogue actors love and audiences rave about. This award- winning comedy deals with an upscale 60ish mother and father who take their two married daughters and sons-in-law on a North Sea cruise to celebrate their fortieth anniversary. The cruise was Mother’s idea, who hopes to get her husband’s spirits and also his libido raised after a recent heart attack. (His heart attack explains the title of the play. He jokes about his coronary, which felt like an elephant sitting on his chest. Now he has to take an aspirin every day.) What Mom doesn’t know is, her daughters are having their own share of big time problems with their husbands. Before the cruise is over, the courses of all three marriages change drastically and a father bonds forever with his ego challenged daughter. “It’s easy to see why this laugh-filled, emotionally moving comedy about marriage, family relationships and overcoming life’s reverses has enjoyed record-breaking runs in theatre after theatre.”

Written by Karen L. WaterfieldDirected by Karen L. Waterfield3 Special Performances! More Details…Every day at Newcombe’s Pub, nestled on the shores of the Northumberland Strait, is pretty much the same as the day before; and the regulars like it that way.

Elizabeth has an unsettling impact on the Nova Scotia man, but then so does his ex, Sylvie. The Pub staff are no help at all, and it seems the resident gambler, Samuel, has also caught the attention of the newcomer.
