Deathtrap – April 15 to May 5 A hugely popular stage and screen success, this ingeniously constructed play offers a rare and skilful blending of two priceless theatrical ingredients - gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter. Unknown dramatist Clifford Anderson has sent his new thriller to award-winning Broadway author Sidney for comment - or has he- Without a success to his credit for some years, Sidney plots with his reluctant wife Myra about how best to plagiarize 'Deathtrap' and when Clifford turns up to discuss the play with the 'Master' events take a sinister turn. |

The Ward Family, comprised of matriarch Scottie Ward (Eleanor Walker), son Tim Ward (Jarret Stollery), and daughter Beth Ward (Wendy Cooper), provide the convergence points for an ex-girlfriend Claire (Peg Barcelo), ex-boyfriend Gary (Chuck Peeren), and the aging matriarch's healthcare worker Bernie (Evelyn Travis), and Bernie's sister Rhonda (Cate Critchlow) Directed by: Jamie Eberle Produced by: Shannon French Stage Manager: Marlena Dolan.

Many Hats Announces 2020 Season!
Open Auditions October 16
Welcome to 2020!
Many Hats Theatre Company Executive Producer Eric Hanston is pleased to announce the lineup for Many Hats' thirteenth season commencing in February 2020. "2020 has everything" says Hanston "British and American farce, a Canadian classic and plays from the pens of some of the world's foremost playwrights. Something for everyone! We are hoping to build on the success of Many Hats' 12 previous seasons. We are very appreciative of the overwhelming support of all our fans!"
The Thirteenth Season:
In this brilliant sequel to his first play "Leaving Home" David French reunites the Mercer family under the pressure of Jacob's imminent death. Son, Ben returns home after an absence of two years to find his mother and Jacob's best friend Wiff, trying to sustain his father. A heart attack has forced Jacob out of work and he can't reconcile himself to his frightening situation. Everyone in the play discovers something about himself, under the pressure of imminent death.
Mining the comedy of missed connections, 'This Random World' asks the serious question of how often we travel parallel paths through the world without noticing. From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning one great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.
Director: Jamie Eberle
July 2-25 "The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery" By David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jr.
Every drama group has experienced the horrors of what can go wrong on opening night, and the ladies of the F.A.H.E.T.G. Dramatic Society are no different, with the possible exception that almost everything that could happen does! The scenery collapses, cues are missed, lines forgotten, and the sound effects take on a strange note at times, as the ladies present their ambitious evening's entertainment with the cunning whodunit, "Murder At Checkmate Manor." And just in case the audience should get bored there's a Film and Fashion Show and Murder Mystery Quiz, complete with a Prize!
Director Jeanne Wnuk
September 10-October 3 "Love Song" by John Kolvenbach
Beane is an exile from life-an oddball. His well-meaning sister Joan and brother-in-law Harry try and make time for him in their busy lives, but no one can get through. Following the burglary of his apartment, Joan is baffled to find her brother blissfully happy and tries to unravel the story behind Beane's mysterious new love Molly.
Director: Tammy Hansel
November 12-December 5 "Greater Tuna" by Joe Sears and Jaston Williams
The hilarious comedy about Texas' third smallest town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies! The eclectic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two actors, making this satire on life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna-men, women, children and animals!
Director: Ed Schneider
