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.

If there is one thing that really disappoints me about going to the Norm Foster Festival is the simple fact that more people don't take advantage of such a great event.

We saw Screwball Comedy tonight and loved it! So much talent on stage and behind the scenes. We'll definitely be getting tickets for the remaining shows of the season. Highly recommend!

I have went to a number of the festival productions. The acting is outstanding! The dialogue is outstanding! It makes for an outstanding night!
Chris
Wonderful show , great actors in a small but intimate environment. we will be back to enjoy another evening with you. Staff were very helpful also.
Sharon
An excellent show, stage set, lighting, and sound were all beautiful. It was amazing to see Norm Foster and Patricia Vanstone in this play again. Well worth the drive from Toronto.

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!

This is the second year that we have visited the First Ontario Performing Arts Centre to see a play at the Foster Festival. Norm Foster's plays are funny and sweet, and you always come away feeling good.

Very funny play; loved the show. Great theatre; not a bad seat in the house. I predict the Foster Festival will join The Shaw Festival & The Stratford Festival as a major attraction in Ontario.

Just saw Lunenburg with friends and family. We all loved it! It was funny and moving and the acting was excellent. So glad we went. A brilliant evening.

Two towns. A bridge connecting them and a border dividing them. When the war of 1812 breaks out, the neighbouring border towns of St. Stephen, New Brunswick and Calais, Maine are reluctant to go to war against each other. The people in each community have built life-long friendships – freely crossing the bridge that connects them for daily visits. Literally overnight, the war quickly redefines their world as they know it and their lives are forever changed. Through humour and Foster’s trademark witty dialogue, 1812 by Norm Foster examines the meaning of friendship, love and loyalty.
