Grandma and Grandpa are Down at the Legion May 3-14 Come join us to celebrate a great Canadian institution and the greatest generation responsible for creating it. All across this country a town has truly come of age if it has three things in it: an Arena, a Tim Horton's and a Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. When Donny Boyle learns he’s adopted, he goes in search of his birth parents. Eventually, he discovers all that’s left of his biological family tree are his Grandma and Grandpa who live in a small town near Sarnia Ontario. These two seniors are legendary for their fantastic community spirit and when Danny asks to finally meet them in person everyone in town tells him where they can always be found… down at the Legion! This play is a fun loving lark about fish fries, meat draws, Euchre tournaments and the selfless volunteers who deserve our deepest gratitude. Please join us for this proud and patriotic salute to small town life in Canada.

CHRISTMAS IN CANCUN A New Christmas Comedy by Kevin Riordan Nov 24 - Dec 17 Philippe Gonzalez goes crazy when he’s forced to work the Christmas Holidays at the Mexican hotel that employs him. Things go from bad to worse for him when his holiday guests begin to get on each other’s nerves. Working class Windsor couple Burt and Karen Kaminski come to Cancun in order to celebrate their first empty next Christmas together now that both the kids are off in college. Young upwardly mobile Toronto couple Ken and Tiffany have just graduated university and their wealthy parents have sent them on a Christmas vacation to celebrate their new engagement to one another. While rubbing on the sunscreen by the pool the two couples end up rubbing each other the wrong way and the poor frustrated Philippe must step when a classic Mexican standoff ensues. Come join us at the Acorn Theatre for this hilarious clash of classes and cultures colliding when these crazy Canadians go on holiday in Cancun!
