Yellow Point Drama Group Serves an Appetizing Spring Trio of One-Act Plays, April 2 to 18 at Cedar Hall Whet your appetite for comedy and lighthearted drama as Yellow Point Drama Group (YPDG) presents a spring trio of one-act plays over three weekends from April 2 to 18, including matinees on April 11 and 18 .

In the opening act, three umpires bat conversation around at a spring training camp; Judgement Call, written by Frederick Stroppel, is directed by well-known local actor Barrie Baker and stars Mel Frost (Harvey), Ron Dale (Frank), and Devon Cathers (Joe). Next up, in Duet for Bear and Dog, a treed bear and pampered dog banter while contending with three hapless humans.

The award-winning 10-minute play by Sybil Rosen is the directorial debut of YPDG member Marni Hastings. Starring Georgina Duval (bear), Michael Robinson, (dog), Kyle Hughes (dog-owner), and William Anderson and Jessie Smith (conservation officers).

YPDG’s spring trio wraps up with Dapper Dan, written and directed by award-winning local playwright Brian March—inspired by a 1912 tune of the same name—and starring Erin Elderfield (Melissa), Moira Fox (Della), Maureen Molyneaux (Hester) and Brian March (Dan). Chameleon-like Dan, a porter on the Pullman Railway line in the 1930s, charms and seduces three women he meets on the train. Battle lines are drawn as each character reveals a hidden agenda. Two musicians on board (Doug Sommers and Lee Selzler) recreate the romantic music of the era.

Reserved seats are available in advance by calling 250 722-3003.

Tickets are also available at the door at Cedar Hall, 2388 Cedar Road. Get set for more upcoming drama at Cedar Hall when the Yellow Point Drama Group hosts Theatre BC’s South Island Zone Festival 2015 from May 4 to 8.

Yellow Point Drama Group has been bringing entertaining live theatre to the Yellow Point and Cedar countryside since 1953.
