Theatre NorthWest will be full of laughs with its production of “Doris and Ivy in the Home”.
The stage play comes from Canadian Playwright, Norm Foster, and is about Doris, Ivy, and Arthur as they navigate the challenges and joys of life in a senior living facility.
Director Mark Bellamy talks about what makes this play different from typical ones often seen.
“It highlights senior artists, because all of these characters are in their 60’s to 70’s, and it also reflects back on the community.”
“If you’ve got people who are either elderly, or their dealing with transitions in their lives with their parents, or their friends, or their family. Everybody sort of has a touch point to how we age.”
Bellamy added that work began all the way back in August, planning out the set and what else the play needed.
The play, which is based in Canmore, Alberta, is a familiar area for him as he grew up in the province, which helped build out the set.
Showings for the play will start Thursday, and continue until May 14th, with times at 7:00pm and 2:00pm.
