Move over Dame Edna Mrs. Brown is in town!

Our next Reader's Theatre will be at From Scratch on March 22 and we have an exceptional treat in store for you.  We are going to introduce Mrs. Brown to Medicine Hat!  And she is sure to make an impression.   


Writer Brendan O’Carroll channels his mum’s sense of humor and brings to life a simple Irish mother who tells it like it is, with hilarious consequences. Are you sure you’re ready for Mrs. Brown?  She’s got a bit of a potty mouth on her!


The howlingly hilarious Mrs Brown, created by Brendan O'Carroll and enjoyed by millions when she  became a hit internet youtube phenomenon.  

Have a look at the clip below if you haven't watched one yet! If you are at work you might like to wait till you get home to have a look at it.



On the Red Stage at FROM SCRATCH, a truly a unique and amazing food experience that you can find at 677B South Railway St. S.E.  Check them out for lunch or dinner anytime; your host China Loughlin will make you feel at home whenever you drop by.  She has a great line-up of entertainment booked for you.



Have supper first if you like, and then enjoy the madcap meanderings of Mrs. Brown.  Our readers productions are stripped-down, un-staged, and maybe a bit more intimate than what you are used to.  The experience is between the performers, the audience, and the playwright's words. All this happens Tuesday March 22, 7:30 pm at FROM SCRATCH.  Tickets are only $5.00 and are available at the door.

Shirley Valentine


Performance Date: 2/22/2011, 7:30 pm

Our first Readers Theatre of 2011 is also going to be our first performance in our new venue! We are very excited about appearing on the Red Stage at FROM SCRATCH, a truly a unique and amazing food experience that you can find at 677B South Railway St. S.E.  Check them out for lunch or dinner anytime; your host China Loughlin will make you feel at home whenever you drop by.  She has a great line-up of entertainment booked for you.


And FUT is on that line up starting on Tuesday, February 22 with Shirley Valentine 



Shirley Valentine is a one-character play by Willy Russell.  An hilarious monologue by a middle-aged, working class Liverpool housewife, it focuses on her life before and after a holiday abroad that changes her way of thinking about herself.  Mrs. Joe Bradshaw is the former adventurous vibrant Shirley Valentine longing to get out. Her hopes and self-confidence shattered by school, marriage and life, she is reduced to talking to the kitchen wall while preparing her husband’s evening meal. Shirley dreams of drinking a glass of wine in a country where the grape is grown as she fries up his ‘chips and egg’. Out of the blue, her ‘feminist’ friend offers her a holiday in the sun. With great trepidation and a heck of a lot of soul searching, Shirley finally seizes the opportunity and flies off for a fortnight in the Greek Islands! Once there she finds the love, joy, wonder and passion she left behind in her youth.
