Back by popular demand! Emily Oriold and Jamie Williams reunite on stage in this Norm Foster greatest hit. This will mark Oriold and Williams’ third appearance together on The Foster Festival stage. Norm Foster’s On A First Name Basis tells the story of a very successful but cantankerous, novelist who suddenly discovers that he knows nothing about his maid of 25 years. She, on the other hand, knows absolutely everything about him! He makes it his mission to learn all he can about her in a most engaging conversation. With revelations that are surprising, funny, and extremely moving, this is a love story, a social commentary, and a mystery wrapped in witty dialogue and vivid imagery.
