Kanata
Theatre will mark the 60th anniversary of VE Day and
the opening of the National War Museum with a production of a play
that recalls and celebrates Canada’s role in World War II.
You’ll
Get Used To It-The War Show is
directed by Jim Holmes, with musical direction by Larraine Gorman,
and choreography by Linda Jamieson. This play is the product of
many interviews by Peter Colley (one of Canada’s most successful
playwrights) of veterans, factory workers, housewives, war brides
and others who lived through the period 1939 to1945.
Songs
like White Cliffs of Dover, I’ll Be Seeing You, We’ll Meet Again,
and especially the plucky Wish Me Luck as You Wave Me Goodbye
are featured in the show with their themes of hope and optimism.
Nine men and seven women take the many roles of soldiers, officers,
politicians, statesmen, wives, farmers, factory workers, and sweethearts
whose courage and sacrifice got us through the war.
You’ll
Get Used To It runs in the Ron
Maslin Playhouse, 1 Ron Maslin Way at Terry Fox Drive, Tuesday
to Saturday, May 24 to May 28 and May 30 to June 4. Curtain: 8
pm Tickets:$15. Box Office: 831-4435 website: kanatatheatre.com
