Hamish, by award-winning Canadian playwright Michael Grant, is the hilarious story about discovering the spirit of family… in more ways than one. When his wife takes him to Scotland to visit his ancestral home, Gordon believes himself to be an orphan, bereft of any family traditions or obligations. An ambitious corporate lawyer, he has no interest in delving into the long-dead past, never mind donning a kilt. Or does he? When the old clan property is suddenly threatened by developers, he must decide whether to stake his claim as a descendent or abandon his birthright altogether.

Palace Theatre Arts Commons is offering a 9-week experimental training session for actors and directors from October 15th to December 6th, hosted by Dave Semple. This workshop will bring actors and directors together who are interested in honing their craft and finding strategies and techniques to enhance their skills. We are looking for 10 actors and 5 directors who are interested in their own next steps. Attention all prospective actors and directors: Have you thought about taking a shot at directing a show but want some practical experience before submitting to direct? As an actor, are you looking for opportunities to build your actor's toolbox to bring more authenticity to your performance?
Dave will be bringing these two groups together to work on monologues and scene study from both sides of the table. Directors will have the opportunity to direct two-hander scenes while the actors will have the opportunity to workshop monologues and perform in the two-handers, all with Dave's guidance with the goal of bringing authenticity to performance. The workshop will run every Wednesday night from 6:30-9:30 in the Maryse Leitch Hall at the Palace with a cabaret performance of their scenes and monologues on December 6th at 7:00 in Procunier Hall. Please contact [email protected] to register for this first of hopefully many training opportunities from London Community Players and Palace Theatre Arts Commons.

There are plays that touch you, plays that make you laugh, and plays that just make you glad you went to the theatre. Jeff Baron's Visiting Mr . Green is all three. Mr . Green, an elderly Manhattanite has retreated from life after his wife’s death, and he’s lettinghimself and his apartment go to ruin. Then chance brings Ross Gardiner, a younger man – lonely too, but instinctively nurturing – intohis life. Baron’s story is not merely a very humorous clash of generations; it is an appeal for humanity. In 2023, after a pandemic thathas broken us apart, and in a world where inclusion echoes more than ever, the story vibrates…louder than ever. Since its year-long run in New York City starring Eli Wallach, Visiting Mr . Green is one of the most produced and beloved plays inthe world in the past 25 years with over 600 productions in 52 countries. Now Theatre Praxis brings the London premiere of this hilarious and, ultimately, very moving play featuring two of the city’s best-known and favorite actors, Tim Bourgard and Matt Butler, to town this fall.
