July 22 to August 21, Firehall Theatre |
| Set in South Africa, during the early apartheid
days. The story deals with the coming of age of seventeen-
year-old Hally. Hally, a white South African, is torn between
his bigoted biological father’s expectations of him and those of
his surrogate fathers, black waiters named Sam and Willy. Young
Hally is obliged to laugh at his father’s racist jokes and
perform humiliating tasks like empty chamber pots. By contrast,
Sam exposes Hally to many positive experiences. After being
humiliated by his father, Sam shows Hally how to be proud of
something he’s achieved by helping him build and fly his own
kite. One day, Hally receives news that his real father, an
alcoholic and violent person, is coming back home from a long
stint in a hospital. Hally, distraught with this news, unleashes
years of anger and pain on his two black friends. Athol
Fugard’s award-winning play is both funny and devastating in its
portrayal of black-white relationships during the apartheid
regime. Audiences will never forget his description of the
beauty of the ballroom dancing floor (“a world without
collisions”) as a transcendent metaphor for life.
Beginning on August 6 with the Gala opening of Up the River
at the
Thousand
Islands Playhouse

The
Up the River Festival in Gananoque promises
non-stop family fun during the month of August, beginning on
August 6 with the Gala opening of Up the River at the
Thousand Islands Playhouse. Loosely based on the classic
children’s story The Wind in the Willows, Up the River
takes Kenneth Graham’s beloved characters and relocates them to
the banks of the St. Lawrence River circa 1910. In addition to
the production, the Thousand Islands Playhouse has developed a
month-long festival of events inspired by the story of Toad and
his adventures. Join us for soap box races, mini-plays, musical
tours, art exhibits, historical boat tours, Geo-Cache treasure
hunts and more! |
Shall We Dance is holding a 2 hour “Social” Cha Cha Ballroom
Dance Lesson for beginners.
