Harbourfront Players present ‘Bedtime Stories’
Audiences will remember the Harbourfront Players as the popular and talented community theatre troupe who have delighted and entertained in the past with the heartwarming “Calendar Girls” and such zany comedies as “Whose Wives Are They, Anyway?” and, most recently, “Lights, Camera, Island!”
The hilarity continues this month with their latest project, “Bedtime Stories”, by renowned Canadian playwright Norm Foster. “Bedtime Stories” is a comedy comprised of six loosely related vignettes presented in two acts, featuring Foster’s signature comedic debacles laced with mild sexual innuendo.
Show times are tonight at 7:30, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. (special Mother’s Day matinee).
Performances continue May 19 at 7:30 p.m. and May 20 at 7:30 p.m.
The giggles begin with the opening vignette where Eddie the DJ coaches a middle-aged couple, to “make whoopie” on live radio for $5,000, followed by two old high school friends poignantly reconnecting at the death bed of one and an odd-couple-style break-andenter duo who fumble their way through a hilarious burglary attempt.
Then on to shock rocker Tommy Quick who, despite being well past his prime, has to fend off one very adoring fan. Next, an eager yet clumsy exotic dancer is about to hear some unfortunate news from her boss.
The final laugh features a pair of funny movers, a directionally-challenged cab driver, and a couple who might be able to repair the hurts of their past.
Tickets are available through the theatre box office.
