If you haven't been to The Foster Festival yet, now is the time to go! Last night's world premiere of Halfway There was incredible!

A wonderful venue to highlight and introduce new works of Canada’s most prolific playwright. Beautiful intimate performance space with great sight lines. Not a bad seat in the house. The team is first rate!!

We went to see a new Norm Foster play called Renovations for Six at FirstOntario PAC. Norm Foster is always good, but, this time he outdid himself with a very funny play that most of us can identify with. The acting was magnificent.......everyone was perfect in their parts.

Do yourself a favour and get tickets to this brand new Norm Foster play. I loved it - and so did the others we went with.....But seriously, don't miss this play. Each of the 5 actors is superbly cast and they play off each other perfectly. A 10 out of 10 hit!

The Foster Festival had two world premiers this summer and I was able to see "Renovations for Six" - Norm has not missed a beat this this new play - his 59th. Add this festival and this theatre to your summer fun.

The dialogue is laugh out loud funny. The theatre is very comfortable and the nearby restaurants serve tasty fare. A lovely new theatre experience.

THE LADIES FOURSOME
by Norm Foster
Directed by Emily Oriold
September 14-26, 2021
Instead of building a set to look like a golf course, we’ve decided to bring you, the audience, to the golf course for this unique outdoor theatre experience!
FOUR! During a round of golf, four friends discuss life, love, men, children, careers…everything but golf. From the front 9 to the back 9, many surprises, secrets and confessions come to the surface during the ladies’ round of play. Foster’s Greatest Hit The Ladies Foursome will, without a doubt, be the most hilarious round of golf you will ever witness!
They’re Back!

2021 Season
On behalf of everyone at The Foster Festival, we wish to offer our most sincere appreciation to our ticket holders, our subscribers and everyone who has navigated these uncharted times with us. Thank you.
Out of an abundance of caution and care for all of our patrons, we have made the difficult decision that we will not be returning to the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre this summer. However, we are committed to continuing to produce Norm Foster’s work through online readings or smaller performances in outdoor venues during the summer months.
“Like so many of our fellow theatre organizations, we have to think about the safety of our artists, crew, staff and audiences at this time. Gathering in large numbers still poses a big question mark for all of us,” says Emily Oriold, Artistic Producer. “It’s the question of walking back into a theatre with confidence where audience members can sit side by side openly sharing in the laughter and artists can feel safe on our stages. With widespread vaccinations on the horizon, it is our greatest hope that we will be able to gather again in the theatre in time for the Holidays.”
Stay tuned for more exciting announcements about our 2021 programming. Since the shutdown in March 2020, Norm Foster has written 7 new plays and we are definitely looking forward to sharing them with you as soon as we can!
