54 www.eatdrink.ca № 63 | January/February 2017 theatre Theater in Winter Some Joy, Some Madness, and More By JANE ANTONIAK Looking for an escape from the dark winter nights? Getting a bit of cabin fever? Then consider a night out being entertained by live theatre. Kick off 2017 and beat the winter blues, challenge your mind and support the arts in our area. To set the mood for 2017 comes Reefer Madness from the King’s Players at King’s University College. While Canadians contemplate legalized marijuana this is a hilarious look at how marijuana use was regarded in decades past. This is a live musical version of the 1936 film of the same name. The Players are alerting the audience that this is a “highly stylized and satirical political commentary that contains adult humour, religious parody, drug use as well as suggested violence and sexual explicitness — inappropriate for younger audiences.” Reefer Madness runs from January 25–28th in the Joanne and Peter Kenny Theatre at King’s University College. This is a large cast production with a nine-piece jazz band. The Grand Theatre in London presents Lions in Winter January 10th to 28th. This drama about the life of Henry II promises to intrigue fans of Game of Thrones and House of Cards in a bizarre Christmas setting. The play takes the audience back in time, 800 years, as Henry and his wife battle for power. Directed by Krista Jackson, who asks the question, “what shall we hang ... the holly or each other?” In February, The Grand lightens up the mood with the Tony Award-Winning Best Play, Art. It runs from February 21st to March 11th. Originally a French play, it was translated into English and wowed theatregoers in London’s West End and Broadway. This introspective
www.eatdrink.ca 55 discussion — what is art? and is beauty truly in the eye of the beholder? — makes a rare appearance in Southwestern Ontario. The Imperial Theatre in downtown Sarnia presents Willow Quartet January 27th to February 4th. While it sounds like a musical event, this play is about unresolved grief and love. The theatre is located near the fabulous Lola’s Lounge restaurant, a great place for a post-theatre drink and discussion. Joan Burrows Willow Quartet, directed by Jay Peckham, runs at Sarnia’s Imperial Theatre January 27–February 4 PortStanley FestivalTheatre 2017 SEASON SEASON SUBSCRIPTIONS NOW AVAILABLE CALL 519.782.4353 portstanleytheatre.ca SPONSORED BY
