The Weyburn Agricultural Society is collaborating with Crocus 80 to put on a play written by Jim Brochu entitled 'Cookin' With Gus'.
The play is about how cookbook author Gus Richardson is offered a chance to make a television show like her idol, Julia Child. She is being pressed into it by her agent, Bernie Luskin and her Gypsy next door neighbor, Carmen.
Problems arise when she gets resistance from her husband, Walter. She discovers that she suffers from stage fright and cannot speak when the microphone is on. Many antics (including a food fight) follow before things are resolved and the producer agrees to go ahead with the show.
Charline Doney will play Gus, Pete Broccolo will portray Walter, Wendy Kimber will play Carmen and Neil Keefe will play Bernie. The comedic combination of food, fun and fortune telling will be directed by Sabrina Kraft. Come out for an opportunity to shake off the winter blues and your cabin fever and have a bit of fun with a group of your friends.
The performances will be at the Royal Canadian Legion from March 19-22 with the first three days having a dinner theatre starting with cocktails and 6:00 p.m. and Sunday's dessert matinee will be held at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available at the Ag Society Office, Superior Office Products and the Royal Canadian Legion.
