The Battlefords Community Players have one performance of its 2015-16 season under their belts, and it's on to a new show next week.

Having performed Noises Off, A Farce in Three Acts, by Michael Frayne, at the Dekker Centre in October, a comedy by celebrated playwright Neil Simon is due to begin Nov. 19.

Rose's Dilemma will be performed at the Western Development Museum Nov. 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28.

Directed by Donna Challis, the executive producer of the club, the cast is made up of Eleanor Voegeli, Tracy Knowles, Bill Wells and Marno Auchstaetter, all of whom have experience on stage with the club.

The plot of the play follows a celebrated writer, Rose Stern, who hasn't written anything for years and whose bank account is running dry. Opportunity is offered to her from beyond the grave.

Rehearsals for Rose's Dilemma are underway at the home of the Battlefords Community Players in Battleford, where they have occupied their clubhouse at 102 - 26th St. since 2012.

Still to come are Death by Design, a Comedy with Murder by Rob Urbinati to open in February at the Western Development and The Shrew, a Shakespeare project by Charles Marowitz to be held in March at the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts.

Tickets to BCP performances at the Western Development Museum can be had by calling 306-446-3133. Tickets to BCP performances at the Dekker Centre are available from the Dekker Centre box office.
