Congratulations to The Scarborough Theatre Guild for sixty years of live theatre. This celebratory milestone returns to where it all began. Sixty years ago, the Guild premiered with its' first production of Alan Melville's Dear Charles. Sixty years later Dear Charles returns, this time to the Scarborough Village Theatre and to be directed by newer member Michael James Burgess.
Two hander-plays are always risky to stage as the actors only have each other upon whom to rely and trust during performances. If the play makes some money for the theatre company, even better. Most importantly, any play should challenge artistically the actors and audience especially when it might be peppered with controversial subject matter.

I've heard the term 'classic' used a lot over the last few weeks in numerous conversations with people. A good friend of mine in Strathroy talks about his two 'classic' cars. Another friend is taking an on line Ontario Ministry of Education summer teacher qualification and our conversation focused on 'classic' works of fiction.
