Peter Richards, the hard bitten farmer, played by Bob McAtamney and Kate Allen, the vegetarian girlfriend of Peter’s son played by Jenna Sipponen, square off during rehearsals for the upcoming Cawston Players production of Dry Streak.
It is a tenuous relationship only made worse when Kate makes a rash promise to help bring much needed rain to the dry Saskatchewan farming community during a drinking session at the local bar. The play is a rollicking comedy combined with a serious look at a farming community, family relationships and an outsider trying to fit in to her boyfriend’s family. It is the 10th anniversary of the Cawston Players and this production promises to be great entertainment. There is already a buzz in the air for this production, so grab your advanced tickets at the Cawston Market Place or Similkameen Agencies in Keremeos for only $10. Performance dates at the Cawston Hall are Friday March 30, Saturday March 31 and Sunday April 01. All performances commence at 7.30 p.m.
