OPENING NIGHT

Theatre lover Ruth Tisdale wins a pair of tickets to the opening night performance of a new play. She drags her husband Jack along with her to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, but he’d much rather be at home watching the seventh game of the World Series on TV. Comedy ensues as they mingle with guests in the VIP lounge, including the show’s cynical director, his needy girlfriend, and a motley assortment of actors. It all peaks with the “performance” of what’s got to be one of the worst plays ever written. A witty, fast-paced love letter to the theatre from Canada’s most produced playwright.
