What You Get
It's great to be Canadian. We understand you WagJaggers may love our country so much you're willing to enter a maple syrup guzzling contest or tatoo "Eh" on your forehead, but doing such things might not help us Canucks retain our cool-as-ice image. Today's deal gives you a way to celebrate your patriotism in a subtler, yet just as satisfying fashion: $10 for a ticket to see Waiting for the Parade, a dramatic comedy about Canadian lifestyle during wartime in the 1940s, at Oshawa Little Theatre. The show is regularly valued at $20.
The show happens at 8 p.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from March 17 to April 2 with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. on March 27. You may select your desired date night from any of these performances, but note that only a limited number of seats are available for each. To claim your plush seat-space, bring your printed voucher to the theatre box office during regular hours, and exchange it for the tickets of your choice.
About the show
This dramatic comedy is the story of how five Calgary women respond very differently to civilian life during the Second World War, providing a moving portrait of Canadian wartime life in the 1940s. The play is episodic in structure, each scene presenting a vignette often accompanied by great music from the era. When playwright John Murrell was commissioned to write a Canadian history play in 1977, he interviewed people who had lived through the war, and found that the stories he liked best were those of the women. In his programme note for the Shaw Festival production, Murrell expresses his belief that women are the connective tissue which allows the human race to keep faith that normal life will ultimately return. Women remind us, with wit and resilience, of the great importance of family, and also that family is not everything; of the great importance of patriotism, and also that patriotism is not everything. Their pragmatism is utterly heroic. Celebrate our heritage and relive the 1940s with this piece of Canadiana!
