Norman Bray in the Performance of His Life
April 9 - 26, 2015
Based on the acclaimed Governor General Award nominated novel, this is truly a world premiere drama of absurd proportions! If Don Quixote were an actor, he'd be Norman Bray. Aging and too fond of brandy, but still handsome, still convinced of his talent, Norman dreams of a world that knows the artist’s true worth. If only his agent would return his calls, if only his daughter would stop asking questions, if only the world could finally see … he’s Norman Bray!
Note: This production contains adult language and situations.

You are right! It is so funny and very entertaining. It was wonderful. The corrugated cardboard looks so real I could not believe it. My friend said she must see it again. I would be spreading the word to my other friends. Thank You. … S.T.
