“We’re extremely excited about our upcoming season,” said Samantha Madore, Metamorphic Theatre. “We were fortunate to have had such a successful 2006 season with Marion Bridge. We’re sure that 2007 will be even better with a popular play such as Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) from established playwright Ann-Marie MacDonald and the world premiere of Creatures of the Moment by two local playwrights. The funds raised from this launch party will make it all possible.”

The evening will include excerpts from upcoming shows, Garrison beer, appetizers, silent auction and DJs Jon Boudreau and Loukas Crowther. There will also be live music provided by John Mullane of In-Flight Safety, Tanya Davis, Andrew Gillis and many more. Chances to win include: a Chester Playhouse getaway package, 50/50 draw and door prizes.

Creatures of the Moment
Opening March 30, at The Space
Co-written by Ryan Turner and Sarah Mian, directed by Greg Jackson
Featuring: Luke Brown, Shawn Duggan, Samantha Madore, Amy Reitsma and Garry Williams

Synopsis: Jackson thinks marriage is outdated; Aliyah fears the alternative as she considers having his baby. Will their union survive a weekend of wine, suspicion and an outspoken friend? Creatures of the Moment alternates between hilarity and heartbreak as it examines the fragile seams of modern relationships.

Written by Ann-Marie MacDonald, directed by Leana Todd
Featuring: Shawn Duggan, Dustin Harvey, Amanda Jonz, Samantha Madore and Amy Reitsma
