Entering the second week of performances, the Elgin Theatre Guild immediately wowed audiences with their execution of “Laughing Stock.”
The comedic farce, which debuted February 26th at the Princess Avenue Playhouse, shares the story of a group of actors coming together to perform three plays: Dracula, Hamlet, and Charley’s Aunt.
And this play-ception comes with hilarious mistakes every night.
That was “Laughing Stock” Director, Cailyn Arnot-Howe, who took the time to chat with us as rehearsals turned into the first performances last week.
She broke down why people should come see this show.
The final production is a testament to the hard work and dedication of these local performers who bring these wildly entertaining characters and their perfectly timed mishaps to life night after night.
“Laughing Stock” continues at the Princess Avenue Playhouse through March 8th, and audiences are encouraged to support local theatre and the vibrant arts community here in St. Thomas.
Tickets and show details are available at elgintheatreguild.ca, where you can also learn more about upcoming productions and how to get involved.
