Euchre Night (world premiere)
by Norm Foster
Subscription Series
Directed by Emily Oriold
August 6-23, 2026
Mandeville Theatre, Ridley College, St. Catharines
For 32 years Ruby, Deb, Kelly, and Grace have been playing Euchre every week. Over the years they’ve got married, had children, had grandchildren, and lost spouses. Now a new romance threatens to come between them as one reaches for happiness and the others can’t let go. Can friendship survive the hand life deals out or do the changes that family, work, and getting older bring trump even the most enduring of bonds? Euchre Night stacks a deck of laughter and poignancy in this brand new comedy about a special circle of friends.

Two Sides of Goodbye
A Foster Festival Double Feature
Two New One-Acts directed by Jamie Williams
Oct 1-4, 2026
Old Pelham Town Hall, Fenwick, ON
BOOTH NUMBER SEVEN by Emily Oriold | World Premiere
For twenty years, every Sunday after church, Susan and Margaret have met in the same diner, at the same booth, ordered the same breakfast, had their coffee poured by the same waitress, and shared the joys, disappointments, and laughter of everyday life. But this Sunday is different. As familiar rituals give way to unexpected revelations, the friends are reminded that even the longest traditions can change. Filled with warmth and heartfelt humour, Booth Number Seven is a touching celebration of lifelong friendship and the ordinary moments that become the memories we cherish most. Sometimes the people who know us best are the ones who save us a seat.
REST IN PEACE by Jamie Williams | World Premiere
There’s nothing funny about death. Or is there? Eavesdrop on a graveside confession as a wife looks for closure after the loss of her husband. Ambivalent feelings and a baffled lover by her side lead to ridiculous revelations and life changing epiphanies. As she wrestles with the love-hate relationship she had with her husband, Harry, resentments rear their ugly heads and guilt pays a visit, while the new man beside her struggles to make sense of any of it. He just wants to make their flight to Costa Rica. Though tropics beckon she cannot leave until she has dumped the sum total of her feelings at the foot of Harry’s grave.

FOSTER HOLIDAY DOUBLE BILL
Subscription Series
Directed by Emily Oriold & Jamie Williams
December 2-19, 2026
Navy Hall, Niagara-on-the-Lake
THE OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY by Norm Foster | World Premiere
It’s Christmas Eve at Buxton’s Department store and Kelly Newman has arrived during the office Christmas party ready to assume her new role as Office Manager. Everything is looking rosy but then she runs into James — ‘not-so-rosy’— Rose. The ex-Office Manager. Could it be more awkward? Actually, yes. Two strangers, one’s fortunes on the rise at the expense of the other’s, both alone on Christmas Eve. Norm Foster brings light and laughter to the stickiest of situations. Will the holiday celebration warm potentially kindred spirits or chill the air between polar opposites?
WIDOW WONDERLAND by Norm Foster | World Premiere
This cheerful Christmas play that throws a widow and a widower together at their apartment building’s Christmas dinner for those who are alone during the holiday season. Michael and Sharon wind up at a table for two during this December 23rd dinner and what follows is an evening of getting to know one another with all of the awkwardness and politeness and silliness that a first meeting often includes. Best of all, and most important of all, it is heartwarming and delightfully funny!
