Thorold Theatre Wants YOU for Dry Streak!

 

DRY STREAK

A wildly funny Canadian comedy by Leeann Minogue

Directed by Wendy Cullen-Mackie

Thorold Theatre is getting ready for our fall show—and we’re looking for the people who are going to make it happen!

Set during the scorching summer of 1988, Dry Streak takes audiences into the heart of a small prairie farming community where the rain has stopped, the crops are failing, and everyone has an opinion.

The Richards family has worked the same farm for generations. When son John returns home with his new girlfriend Kate, the family discovers that she is unlike anyone the town has encountered before: a punk-rock-loving, vegetarian city girl who has no particular interest in getting married.

Then, desperate for rain, Kate makes a reckless promise.

What follows is a comic collision of family expectations, small-town gossip, generational differences, personal belief and the increasingly uncomfortable realization that sometimes a private promise can become very, very public.

Dry Streak is a sharp, affectionate comedy about family, faith, farming and the pressures of small-town life — and what happens when everyone knows your business.

 

And now we’re looking for 7 actors who can bring this wonderfully funny, slightly outrageous Canadian comedy to life.
