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.

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.

I have went to a number of the festival productions. The acting is outstanding! The dialogue is outstanding! It makes for an outstanding night!

"Come Down From the River" has to be my favorite Norm Foster play to date. It is like peeling an onion as it addresses layers of topics such as homosexuality, homophobia, racism, misogany, orphanism, missed opportunities, teen pregnancy, abandonment, family breakups, unfaithfullness, death and yet all interjected with so much mirth. This is a very human play with a very realistic plot and a beautiful message exposed once the onion is all peeled.

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

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.
Audience Survey
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!

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.
