Our Current Production

The New York Post called Talley's Folly a “funny, sweet, and touching love poem for an apple and an orange.”

This comedy/drama, set in a Missouri boathouse in 1944, will charm and move its audience with the romance of Matt and Sally, two very unlikely lovers.

In the original production Matt Friedman was played by Judd Hirsch and Sally Talley by Trish Hawkins. In our production we are thrilled to have Kevin O'Neill and Katie O'Rourke in these wonderful roles; two experienced actors who bring to the stage warmth, versatility and an electrifying chemistry.

Mr. Wilson, one of America's most gifted playwrights, died last March at the age of 73. We present Talley's Folly in his memory and hope that you will not miss this "greatly admired and widely performed" play.

"House" Wins Two Awards at the 2011 EODL One Act Play Festival

Peterborough Theatre Guild’s production of the one-act play, “House” written by Daniel MacIvor and directed by Bea Quarrie, won 2 Awards at the Eastern Ontario Drama League (EODL) One Act Play Festival. The PTG awards were:

• Belleville Theatre Guild Award – for Acting - Christopher Spears - for his one man show in “House”
• Ottawa Little Theatre Award - for Best Production - awarded to the cast and crew of “House”

Director, Bea Quarrie was nominated for the Academy of Theatre Foundation Award for Best Director.

The annual EODL One Act Play Festival was held this past weekend, November 11-13, 2011 in Perth, Ontario. Nine (9) One-Act Plays were presented by Community Theatre groups from across Eastern Ontario. Groups came from Ottawa, Almonte, Perth, Kemptville, Merrickville, Haliburton and Peterborough. Through this Festival, participating theatres have an opportunity to meet other people who are passionate about theatre and to share ideas and learn new skills.

The cast and crew presented “House” at the Peterborough Theatre Guild earlier in November and then packed up props, set, costumes, cast and crew to travel to Perth on Saturday.

Each group puts their set on stage and rehearses for one hour in the afternoon. When it is their turn to perform, they have 10 minutes to put their set on the stage and 5 minutes to tear it down after their performance. All nine (9) plays did an amazing job.

The Adjudicator this year was Chris Worsnop who has directed plays, written scripts, worked as a play polisher, presented workshops and organized and hosted festivals. As an adjudicator he has worked at various levels in the Sears Festival, the Meadowvale Music Theatre Festival, a previous One-act Eastern Ontario Festival in 2008 and Theatre Ontario Festival in 2009.

The Peterborough Theatre Guild thanks the entire cast and crew of “House” for representing the Guild so well.
