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.

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.

Norm Foster & team have successfully pulled off another excellent play. Hilda’s Yard was so very funny. Thanks for a very entertaining afternoon

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!!
Terry
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.
Sandra
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 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.

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!

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.
