Musical Play by Norm Foster - Canadian Playwright

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

Enjoy a fresh fish lunch at Erie Beach Hotel in the picturesque small town of Port Dover. Afterwards join us at the Port Dover Lighthouse Festival Theatre for a musical play "Ned Durango Comes to Big Oak" by Norm Foster.

"An aging television cowboy star comes to the aid of an economically troubled small town in this funny, sometimes moving play." ~ Class Act Dinner Theatre.

"The town of Big Oak is in trouble. They need some big guns to put them on the tourist map. Enter, cowboy Ned Durango, the biggest star in television a generation ago. Now he's come to rescue Big Oak by staring in the Tomato Festival Parade. The result is a funny, poignant, and refreshing comedy about heroes and the people who love them. ~ Thomas More College Villa Players.

Book by Norm Foster, Music & Lyrics by Leslie Arden. Sensational Musical. "Ex-NHLer, Tom Shaw, is saddled with making the annual Victoria Day Tomato Festival Parade the best that Big Oak has ever seen. His problems may be solved when an aging television cowboy star, Ned Durango, rides to the rescue of the economically troubled small town. From the creators of the sensational musical comedy The Last Resort, this show is a must see for anyone whose heroes have included cowboys!" ~ Theatre Orangeville.
