ON STAGE
Nurse Jane Goes to Hawaii was ITR’s most popular
spring show ever!!!! Creatively directed, ably produced,
beautifully acted - Nurse Jane was a triumph from both an
artistic and financial perspective. The cast and crew did a
wonderful job of staging the show and looking after the
audiences, who had a great time at every performance.
David Smith’s dinner theatre offerings were, as always,
spectacular. Hats off to all involved!
Now, we turn our sights to two upcoming productions.
The first is a Medieval Murder Mystery on July 11th,
in conjunction with the Osgoode Medieval Festival
( www.osgoodemedievalfestival.com ). There is a feast at
Uffington Castle, the home of King Alfred and Queen
Elswith, to celebrate the visit of Elswith’s cousins, the King
and Queen of Osgoode. Alas - the revelry is interrupted
by an untimely death! Brother Cantfail and his sidekick,
Mother Perpetual Pain, arrive on the scene to sort out
“who done it”. Secrets will be revealed, a sword fight will

ensue, and the murderer will be caught by the time the
evening ends.
The show will take place at the Osgoode Community
Centre. Doors open at 6 and dinner, catered by the Red
Dot Café, will begin at 6:30 p.m.
ITR’s November 2015 show is the funny and heartwarming
On Golden
Pond, written by

Linda Daniluk.
Auditions will be
held on June 16
and 18 at 7 p.m. at
the ITR Rehearsal Hall, 5488 Osgoode Main Street.
Check the auditions page on our website at
itrtheatre.com for more information.
The show will run from November 13-15 and 20-22, 2015
at the Osgoode Community Centre, with two delicious
dinner theatre shows on Nov. 14th and 21st.
MOVING ON
If you’ve passed by the corner of Osgoode Main Street
and Old George recently, you’ve probably seen the “For
Sale” sign on ITR’s rehearsal hall. We’re not sure when
the sale will happen but in preparation, ITR has purchased
a 53-foot trailer and rented a location for it in North
Gower. We’ll be going through our possessions over the
next couple of months in preparation for the big move,
and expect it to take place before the summer is over.
We’re actively looking for free rehearsal space, and have
at least one good possibility in the works. Stay tuned…
