First of all, sorry for the long gap between blogs, but unfortunately, life seems to get in the way of all our fun! But, in the meantime, so much has happened with Sidekick that I hope you'll feel it was worth the wait.
"The Affections of May" by Norm Foster is alive and kicking! We will be presenting this to our audiences at The Tsawwassen Arts Centre from September 13-29 (Thurs, Fri & Sat only). I am thrilled with our new cast...half new cast! We are welcoming back to the Sidekick stage after a 10 year absence (from the stage not Sidekick), Laura Sutherland-Smith in the role of "May". Laura brings a multitude of awards and experience. She was last seen in "Mail Order Annie" by Carl Cashin. We debuted that Canadian play and had the pleasure of having the playwright come out from Ontario to see the play. He still says that we "set the bar too high" with our production and that Laura will always be "Annie". She first appeared in Sidekick's "Waiting for the Parade" by John Murrell, where she walked away with "Best Supporting Actress" award in Theatre BC's Vancouver Zone Festival. She stole the hearts of many and has been a solid member ever since, both as a Board member and our Front-of-House co-ordinator extraordinaire!
The role of Brian will be played by Simon Mortimer-Lamb who is a fairly newcomer to Sidekick, but having said that...in his debut season, Simon appeared in "Twelve Angry Men" and "Visiting Mr. Greene". A resident of Tsawwassen and a musician, Simon shines on stage and we are very happy to have him grace our stage yet again.
Joyfully, Derek Christiansen and Ted Hubert are still with the cast in the roles of Quinn and Hank. They both bring so much to the stage and the characters. This cast is exceptional and "The Affections of May" will make you laugh and think...typical Foster!
"The play delivers many serious messages, but you have such fun getting them, it doesn't hurt a bit" - Kitchener Waterloo Record.
"A charmer for all seasons." - Toronto Globe and Mail
Reservations box office will open August 15th. 604-288-2415
The rest of the season will be full of laughter with some serious moments thrown in for good measure. And we will be presenting 5 plays this season!
Following on the heels of "May" will be another Norm Foster comedy, "Ethan Claymore". A touching romantic holiday comedy that will entertain everyone. This is truly a humourous play about old fashioned values and the search for redemption.
"Blends the softness of a Norman Rockwell winter scene with a touch of Seinfeld to come up with a truly affectionate 1990's comedy." - St. Thomas Times Journal
November 15 - December 1 (Thurs, Fri & Saturday only)
The first play of the New Year is "If We are Women" by Joanna Glass. This is a touching story of three generations of women who gather on the porch for a visit that is full of humour and insightfullness.
"If We are Women is an oasis of insight and honesty." - The Vancouver Sun
"In If We are Women, Joanna Glass delivers enough humour, compassion and hope to touch everyone who sees it" - The Toronto Globe and Mail
February 7 - 23, 2013 (Thurs, Fri & Saturday only)
Welcoming Spring, we bring you "Opening Night" by Norm Foster (how can you tell we really like his work?). This is a peek behind the scenes of an opening night in a theatre.
"Just plain fun! Foster has nailed these characters beautifully." - Contra Costa Times
"An evening of pure entertainment and boisterous fun." - Timmins Daily Press
"Zany, witty and bright. This is one opening night you won't want to miss." - St. Thomas Journal
April 11 - 27 (Thurs, Fri & Saturday only)
Closing our Season is one of the funniest scripts every written! We have produced this play twice before and still get requests to do it again. We are very happy to bring to our audiences, "Faith County, An Evening of Culture" by Mark Landon Smith.
In Mineola County, the community theatre is producing "Romeo and Juliet". The cast doesn't have their lines memorized, the set is incomplete and a dog keeps barking; They're gonna give it a go anyway!
Sidekick won "Best Production" and several other awards at the Vancouver Zone Festival several years ago where the adjudicator couldn't stop laughing when he was adjudicating the play in front of the audience afterwards. This is non-stop laughter from the beginning to the end!
June 6 - 22 (Thurs, Fri & Saturday only)
All performances at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre - 1172 56th Street, Tsawwassen at 8:00 pm
"Bistro Seating"...refreshments available. Like dinner theatre without dinner!
See you in September!

Gearing up for the final production of our 15th Season!
Right on the heels of Visiting Mr. Green, comes The Affections of May by Canada's most prolific playwright, Norm Foster. But before we move in that direction, a few words to wrap-up another successful run for Sidekick.
Visiting Mr. Green by Jeff Baron and directed by Todd-Elliot Gates, starring Vann Besth as Mr. Green and Simon Mortimer-Lamb as Ross Gardner, was a huge success! Rave reviews are still pouring in from very happy patrons! Both Vann and Ross are fairly new to the stage as thespians and they did a remarkable job of portraying both of these characters. Their believability was uncanny. Kudos to everyone involved in this production and we all look forward to seeing both of these actors on stage and Todd in the Director's chair again! Mazel Tov!

| The Affections of May is Foster's most produced play in the world. Set in rural Ontario, the play adapts easily to any location. May Henning is the owner of a bed and breakfast in the town of Grogan's Cove. May is deserted by her husband Brian, who has decided that small town life is not for him, and so he's returned to the big city leaving May to fend for herself. She soon becomes the woman to "snag" in this small town and is pursued by the local handyman, Quinn and the uptight banker, Hank. This is one laugh after another in typical Foster form. Foster writes like he talks...all very simple to understand and always with a sense of humour. He tells stories like no other playwright can meshing the heartwarming aspect with the humour and always peppered with a little conflict! The Affections of May is no exception. We have discussed producing this play for several seasons and finally decided to bring it to our audiences. I am directing this one and am thrilled with my cast. New to Sidekick and our stage is the very talented Christine Reade as May. She brings a fresh outlook and energy to the role and will warm the hearts of everyone. We welcome back Derek Christiansen (Juror #12 in Twelve Angry Men) as the handman Quinn. This is Derek's second trip to the stage and he brings the naturalness that Quinn has throughout the story. Ted Hubert is hilarious as the uptight banker, Hank. We've loved Ted this season in 12 Angry Men and The Melville Boys. He will delight audiences yet again as he tackles a totally different role than the others. Back on our stage is Tony Marra. Tony was last seen in Dear Santa last season as the sleigh salesman and almost stole the show! You'll find Tony mostly serving wine in the lobby or working backstage. We are thrilled he is Brian...the husband you love to hate! Fortunately for everyone, Tony is nothing like Brian! We open in May (of course)! May 10th and run Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings only until May 26th at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre. Curtain is 8pm sharp! We perform in a small intimate space set up in Bistro style. We have wine, beverages, munchies for sale for your enjoyment while enjoying the show. Don't forget...Mother's Day is May 13th! Why not bring "Mom" to the show and enjoy an evening at the theatre laughing! As seating is limited, early reservations are highly recommended. We have been selling out our shows all season! Don't be disappointed. Call 604-288-2415 to reserve your seats! Subscriptions will be available for purchase at this production as well. Again we will be offering a great deal to those who purchase their subscriptions before August 31, 2012. Further information will be available shortly. But...our first season in TAC brought us 33 subscriptions! Our second (this one) brought us 132! So make sure you get in on this great deal for another season of exceptional theatre at very reasonable prices in a great atmosphere! OH...and parking is free! See you soon... Carroll |

Welcome Back...
I'm very happy to report that Norm Foster's "The Melville Boys" was a resounding success both artistically and financially! A huge congratulations to Taryn Kleeband and her amazing cast! Well done and thank you.
Todd-Elliot Gates is busy in rehearsal three times a week with Vann Besth (Mr. Green) and Simon Mortimer-Lamb (Ross) as they prepare for the heartwarming "Visiting Mr. Green" by Jeff Baron. Mr. Green, an elderley, retired dry cleaner, wanders into New York traffic and is almost hit by a car driven by Ross Gardiner, a 29 year-old corporate executive. The young man is given a community service of helping the recent widower once a week for six months. What starts as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in the same room together becomes a gripping and moving drama as they get to know each other, come to care about each other, and open old wounds they've been hiding and nursing for years. Translated into 22 languages, with over 200 productions in large and small venues, it has won numerous best play and best actor awards throughout the world.
"A cannily crafted comedy-melodrama about friendship, family, and forgiveness. Baron's play runs like a well-oiled express." -New York Newsday
"A wise, absorbing and funny play that packs quite a punch. Sparks fly."
-The Sunday Telegraph (Australia)
"Delicate, compact and compelling. A powerful play."
-Volkskrant (Holland)
"Baron tells his tale with discerning freshness and originality. One of the best shows around."
-The Chicago Daily Herald
"It is doubtful you are likely to encounter a play more enjoyable, more honestly funny and in the end, more moving than this delightful two-hander by Jeff Baron."

Welcome to Sidekick Players!
Over the years (almost 15 to be exact), we've tried newsletters, e-mails and a fractured web-site and all of them worked...for a while. Now we have decided to create a "blog" for Sidekick and keep everyone up-to-date on our productions and just stuff that is going on in our amazing little theatre company.
Sidekick Players Club became a registered society on August 19, 1997 and we haven't looked back a day! We are Delta's number one, longest running, award-winning theatre company and we have no intention of slowing down in the future. We started with one of our largest productions to date, "The Wind in the Willows" which brought us many talented adults and children and teens to our auditions and we cast nearly all of them! It was, without a doubt the biggest cast ever and a super bunch of people to "play" around with. After filling a 400 seat theatre with nearly every performance, we were on our way.
Our next production was "Waiting for the Parade" and my full-length directorial debut. We joined Theatre BC and entered the Vancouver Zone Festival so that we'd learn more about our venture in theatre. Surprisingly, we won 7 out of 10 awards, including Best Production! We didn't win Best Male Actor or Best Supporting Male Actor (our cast was 5 women) and we didn't win Best Set (our set was minimal), even though our adjudicator, Martin Kinch loved what we did with the set. From there we represented the Vancouver Zone in the provincial theatre festival, Mainstage and we wowed the audience (99% theatre folk) in our Theatre BC debut. No one knew who we were! We won 2 awards (Best Actress and Best Costumes) and several honourable mentions (2nd or 3rd place). We were on cloud nine! And to top it all off, I was approached to run for office and became a Vice President of the organization. Sidekick had made its mark on the theatre community of British Columbia.
The following season, we continued with a Christmas musical, "Charlotte's Web" and then another Canadian play by Wendy Lill, "The Fighting Days". Again, we won the Vancouver Zone Festival and went on to our second Mainstage where we won another award (Best Actress) and again, several honourable mentions. And, I was elected President of Theatre BC which lasted another 6 years in that role.
Our third season had us hosting the major provincial theatre festival, Mainstage in Ladner at Delta Secondary School. It was a huge success and talk about the "little engine that could"...with a core group of 7 people we managed to bring 10 mainstage productions, 18 workshops, 4 scene development plays and 7 green rooms (cast parties for 300 people) and one amazing awards night and dinner and dance. We were rocking!
Gradually, we left Theatre BC as it became more than a friendly competition and we wanted to focus on our audiences more than competing and winning. In those early days we rehearsed in the old Variety Farm building (no heat and lots of mud to clomp through) and then we moved into a classroom at the old Sacred Heart school. We stayed in that room until 2010 when we moved into The Tsawwassen Arts Centre (TAC). We used to perform in the cavernous Genesis Theatre that wasn't working for anything but large musicals, which we abandoned after 5 years. Since being in TAC (now in our full second season in there) we have grown immensely. We now bring our audiences 4 productions a year and in an intimate and very friendly atmosphere.
No more sitting in rows of seats where you are lucky if you can bring in a noisy plastic bottle of water! But we have tables, chairs, tablecloths, and wine and other beverages and snacks to enjoy during the performance. It's a huge success and we love it as well! PLUS...after 13 years we were finally able to set up a subscription series. Something we couldn't do when we were at the mercy of the school's timetable in Genesis. Our first season (2010/11) in TAC we had 32 subscriptions and we were elated! Our seating capacity per show is 75-80. By August, 2011 we had our 2011/12 subscriptions coming in and we started the season with 132! That's a pretty incredible growth pattern! And...we brought in a few more during our first production of this season and many enquiries about subscriptions at our second production (which we just closed to sell-out houses nearly every night). We have no doubt next season our subscription list will grow again to record numbers!
We have an excellent Board of Directors who work very hard to ensure the best theatre and the best prices be presented to our community. We have kept our prices low in comparision with other similiar groups in the Lower Mainland. We are committed to bringing excellent Canadian plays to the stage and this year we have two, both by Canada's most prolific playwright, Norm Foster. Right now, the board is reading a dozen scripts to decide about next season's (16th) playbill and it will be another season of top notch productions!
We opened this season with "Twelve Angry Men" which sold out and kicked off the season with a bang! We just closed Foster's "The Melville Boys" which warmed the hearts of everyone as well as keeping them in side-splitting laughter all night! We are thrilled to be bringing "Visiting Mr. Green" to the stage in March (8-24th) directed by Todd-Elliot Gates and starring two of our "Twelve Angry Men", Vann Besth and Simon Mortimer-Lamb. It is beautiful story with lots of laughs and compassion that will entertain our audiences from the opening to the last bow. More on Mr. Green to follow in the next blog.
So that's "us" in a nutshell. We will bring you news on a regular basis and keep everyone up-to-date on what we are doing. We will also be putting out the call for volunteers and members and will look forward to hearing back from you! Express your views...volunteer...HAVE FUN and PLAY around with us! You'll love it.
More history and pictures will be included and news about Sidekick! I encourage you to share these on your Facebook and Twitter pages and spread the word. We also have a Facebook Page that you can "Like" and become a member (of the page...not the club!). To become a member of Sidekick is easy! By becoming a member you have a "say" in the club. Everyone who works on a production has to become a member. If you'd like to join at this mid-way point in our season, the cost is $10 per person. If you join after June 30th., the cost is $20 Adults and $35 for a family of 4 (living in the same house). We do have young Sidekickers who help with painting, set dec and front-of-house, but don't encourage kids younger than 12 if at all possible. Although we've had 8 year olds out painting flats with their parents. It's a real "family" oriented organization and everyone does their own thing.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas! And make sure you check these blogs for audition notices as well!
Copy and paste the URL and send to friends by e-mail if they aren't on Facebook! Let's get the word out there and let's try to increase our membership and volunteer base! You won't regret it and will meet new friends and possibly re-connect with old ones. We'd love to meet you and hear from you.
