All the world’s a stage, and this is no more evident than at the Alton Mill Arts Centre this spring and summer.
“Theatre is one of the classic art forms of the human condition,” commented arts and culture programmer Harry Posner, “It allows us intimate glimpses into the lives of our fellow human beings. And actors are like secret agents, making us feel what they’re feeling through the subterfuge of costume, voice, and story.”
Culture Café at Alton Mill will be presenting Thespionage April 24, from 7 to 9 p.m.. It will be an evening of original and classic monologues and short one-act plays. The event will feature actors Pam Hewitt, Andy Ingram, Barb Stasiw, Kristian Warburton, Andrew Welch and Jay Wilson. Tickets will be $10 at the door.
The Humber River Shakespeare Company will be putting on The Merry Wives of Windsor outdoors in the Annex July 16. There will be a sneak preview of the play at the Cuisine-Art Festival, June 20 and 21.
Finally, Hamilton’s Gallery on the Bay Productions will present Assisted Living, a play in one act, written by David Laing Dawson, starring Liz Inman and Joe Skilton. It will be performed Aug. 28 and 30.
“The play’s the thing,” Posner said. “It takes us back to our childhood, when play-acting was how we lived out our dreams. That impulse gets buried as time goes on, but it never leaves us.”
