Thistle Theatre Presents "Salt Water Moon

Hi Gang. Dave is directing this years second production for Thistle Theatre "Salt Water Moon" by David French, February 2nd thru 11th. Check out the website www.thistletheatre.ca. The play is about two 17 year olds in Newfoundland. Jacob has been away for a year but while he was away in Toronto, Mary has found a new love. Jacob returns to Coleys Point; will he win her heart again? Throw off those winter chills and find warmth in a story that you will never forget. Jess Warein, 17 and Geordie Pollock, 18 are two amazing young people. Dave had a dialect coach in second practice, Jocelyn is amazing. She came back last week and was astounded with the perfection of Newfoundland lilt these two have achieved. Dave asked a very good friend, mentor and highly respected director Terry, to play polish for him this past Sunday. He told the kids, "you had me fooled, I thought you were from Newfoundland!" Terry doesn't go to many plays these days(he has seen them all so many times) but said "David, I will be here to see this, it is going to be a wonderful show." If you can get here, we have two beds available for a sleep over! Tickets at McKays Embro Foodtown and ticketscene.ca or call us. $18.00 or $10.00 for students.
