The Kincardine Theatre Guild has gone from a cast of thousands in its fall musical, "Anne of Green Gables," to just two actors on stage in its production of "Storm Warning," by Norm Foster, which opens Thursday, Feb. 9, at the Kincardine Arts Centre. This play is a combination of comedy, drama and mystery and takes place at a resort on Pigeon Lake in 1953. Jack Forrester, played by Rob Millar, is a damaged Second World War veteran who has retreated from life. Emma Currie, played by Elaine (Van Rooyen) Slade, is an amphetamine-popping chart writer for a Big Band who decides that a work retreat at a cottage is just what she needs. These two opposites are thrown together one weekend and their lives will never be the same. This show will feature cabaret-style seating. "Storm Warning" runs Feb. 9, 10, 11 and Feb. 16, 17 and 18, at 8 p.m., plus a matinee show on Feb. 12 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 each, available at the box office located at J'Adorn in downtown Kincardine or by calling 519-396-9000. The final Kincardine Theatre Guild show of the season is "Hollywood Arms" which runs May 24, 25, 26 and 31, and June 1 and 2, and June 7, 8 and 9. Directed by Elaine Slade and produced by Lorraine Needham, the play was written by Carrie Hamilton and Carol Burnett. Adapted from Burnett's memoir, "One More Time," the "dramedy" is set in Hollywood, California, in 1941 and 1951, and centres on the heartbreak and laughter shared by three generations of women living on welfare in a dingy apartment house. The cast of characters, based on Burnett and her real-life relatives, includes no-nonsense grandmother, Nanny; Louise, a beautiful, alcoholic mother determined to be a writer for movie magazines; Jody, an absent father who is struggling with his own demons; and Helen, a young girl whose only escape is the rooftop of their rundown building where she creates her own magical world and dreams of a successful show-business career.
