Cocktails at Pam's,
January 24 to February 8, 2014
In the Joyce Doolittle Theatre, at the Pumphouse Theatre
A Comedy by Stewart Lemoine
Directed by Alice Nelson
Being the perfect hostess is not easy. Just ask Pam. It’s
a fine art of pearls and gowns, repartee and knowing the difference between the
maid and the cook. So when the cocktail party she is hosting descends into an
evening of too many flowers, green drinks, a divorcée declaring the evils of
green peppers and...charades, well it’s not really going as smoothly as Pam
might wish.
We, on the other hand, think it’s absurdly charming and a
lovely addition to our 2013-2014 season. Delightfully quirky, this comedy by
Canadian Playwright Stewart Lemoine and directed by Alice Nelson, is sure to
warm you up with some laughter; or as our hostess would exclaim, “Mirth!
Mirth!” Join us in January & February as we host Cocktails at Pam’s and
remember, we never act on Mondays but there are plenty of other days to choose
from. Book your tickets soon, pull out the jacket or the little black dress and
be ye blithe, we’re always happy to see our guests.
