The Actors Workshop Theatre kicks off a new season with a play called one of the most important of the year when it was introduced in Toronto in 1998.
Patience is the story of Reuben, a man who loses his wife, his job and must deal with the death of his brother, all in one day — and must find a way to put himself back together again.
It runs from Oct. 9 to Oct. 11 and Oct. 16 to Oct. 18 and will be directed by Wes Eccleston.
Next up is The Best of Everything, based on a novel by Rona Jaffe.
It’s also a lifestyle story in a way as it tells the tale of ambitious secretaries working in a typing pool who want it all — and aren’t sure they can get it.
It runs Nov. 20 to Nov. 22 and Nov. 27 to Nov. 29 and will be directed by Robin Nichol.
Shakespeare makes it onto the season with As You Like It, the story of Rosalind, who flees persecution, dresses as a man and encounters some strange characters in the woods. It runs Feb. 26 to Feb. 28 and March 5 to March 7 and will be directed by Heidi Verwey.
The season wraps up in April with the directors’ festival, six nights when senior directing students showcase their abilities with one-act plays. The festival runs from April 6 to April 11.
All performances will be in the Black Box Theatre in the Old Main Building of Thompson Rivers University.
Showtimes are at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are on sale at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca. For more information, call
