Current Projects

	Affections of May Scarborough Theatre Guild January 12-28, 2012 When May Henning’s husband decides rural life is not for him and he disappears back to the city and his mistress, it doesn’t take long for the whole town to notice there is a new single lady in their midst. But is May looking for a new man in her life? One of Norm Foster’s most successful comedies, with a great cast and production team, Affections of May is selling fast. Get those tickets!
	Shakespeare is Boffo! Julius Caesar March Break 2012 Part of The Open Door at St. David's Anglican Church, 49 Donlands Avenue (across from Donlands, Station) Developed and Led by J. A. Burke, assisted by Trish O'Reilly Brennan Designed to appeal to children aged 9-15, Shakespeare is Boffo! puts a soft sword in the hands of all as we analyze and stage scenes from Shakespearean plays that include stage fights. A great hit with the kids, Shakespeare is Boffo will have them learning about theatre, memorizing Shakespeare, and having a ball. 10 unit (1 week) course. Registration has begun and spots are going fast. More information here. Proceeds will go to fund Jaybird Production's inaugural production and The Open Door.
	Wrong for Each Other Encore Productions April 27-May 6, 2012 A chance meeting in a restaurant sends a divorced couple flashing back through the highs and lows of their courtship and marriage. It is a hilarious and often heart-breaking look at the rollercoaster ride of a relationship.
	Kidsplay 2012 Jaybird Productions I am really looking forward to leading the Kidsplay experience, again, this year. Theatre arts classes starting in January. Rehearsals start late February. Show goes up June 20th at the Palmerston Library Theatre. Mark those calendars.
	Molly Maguire, Space Explorer An E-book by J. A. Burke Molly Maguire is sweet sixteen -- the first and only child born in space -- and loves her carefree existence. But when Molly's parents go missing on a routine asteroid assessment, Molly's life is turned upside down. Where are they? What happened? And why is everyone so darn interested in sending Molly to Earth? This e-book has been percolating for some time now -- it will be published on this site in weekly installments -- and should appeal to young and old alike. Subscribe for automatic updates.
