Text Box: This was the first time that I really got up in front of an audience. It was something that I have secretly wanted to do for a long time, but never had the nerve.  The best things in this experience were meeting so many great people and realizing that I could act!’Äù - Phil Stott, Volunteer Performer2008

Right Road to Pontypool

4th Line Theatre opens its 18th season on July 2nd with The Right Road to Pontypool written by Alex Poch-Goldin and directed by Kim Blackwell. A loving chronicle of one man’Äôs sun kissed dream for Toronto’Äôs working class Jews. With a way of life now vanished, Pontypool, Ontario boasted five resorts in its heyday as a summer haven for thousands of Eastern European immigrants in the heart of Protestant southern Ontario.

Casting requirements

2 Females 25+ years

4 Males 18-30 years

Welcome Death

The season’Äôs 2nd world premiere play, Welcome Death is written and directed by Robert Winslow.

’ÄúWhodunit’Äù fans will love this Victorian murder-mystery set right here in Millbrook! In 1873, the discovery of a young woman’Äôs body in a field spurs a Coroner’Äôs inquest that pushes past the restraints of science and enters the realm of the spirit to find unknowable answers. Based on the archives of the coroner’Äôs inquest of Elizabeth Deyell’Äôs murder trial, the show will be performed on the intimate Meadow Stage (last used in 2005 for That Summer). Welcome Death will give adult volunteers the opportunity to explore life in ’ÄúVictorian’Äù Millbrook while acting out a real murder mystery on stage.

Casting requirements

2 Males 15-25 years

1 Male 30-50 years

1 Male 40-60 years

1 Male 50-60 years

1 Female 18-25 years
