=0D=0A="I will be making my Shawnigan Player’s directorial debut with Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing! With a cast of 15+, we look forward to auditioning all ages for this romantic comedy. Much Ado is a story of wit, honour, love and gossip! There will also be the addition of a “kid’s chorus” as we have always loved having younger thespians in our productions."
=0D=0A=Immortal Memory, Director Bob Norris
=0D=0A=This is a play about Robert Burns that Bob Norris has adapted
from historical novels written by James Barke. It's a warm, funny poignant drama.
