Friends of the Farm take a trip to the theatre

Posted Feb 23, 2012 By Kristy Wallace

EMC Events -The Friends of the Central Experimental Farm are gearing up to head to the theatre -and they're inviting residents to join to them.

The group is going to Upper Canada Playhouse in Morrisburg to see a matinee performance of Norm Foster's The Foursome.

"It's a nice outing, and a nice day trip for a lot of people," said Marilyn Tagoona of the Friends of the Farm.

Tagoona said the group has only taken the trip to Upper Canada Playhouse once before. The group chose Foster's play because he's a well-known writer of comedy.

Foster, a Canadian playwright, wrote The Foursome which is about four old friends who reunite after 15 years. They share their lives, stories and secrets and the Friends of the Farm say the audience will find the story funny and relatable. Following the matinee performance at the Morrisburg theatre, there will also be a dinner served at the legion by the Ladies' Auxiliary League.

The trip takes place on March 28, and a bus leaves the Agriculture Museum parking lot at noon and returns at 8:30 p.m.

The matinee performance will take place at 2 p.m. and dinner at the legion follows at 5 p.m. The cost is $90 for members and $95 for nonmembers. To reserve a ticket, call 613-230-3276.
