Our official press release was sent today! Tickets are now on sale for Theatre Smash’s production of A Boy Called Newfoundland (running March 26-April 11 at Tarragon Extra Space), and we are finally able to share the names of our all-star cast and creative team. We could not be more excited to welcome these amazing artists to the Theatre Smash community:

Patrick Kwok-Choon (pictured above) plays Newfoundland “Flounder” Willow, an awkward 15-year-old cadet. A loner who is scared of being alone, his life revolves around his family, his synthesizer, his French-camp love Evelyn, and his parents’ family business – The Romantic Times, a self-published newspaper. When his mother returns home from her second honeymoon without her husband, Newfoundland and his sisters struggle to recreate the family and home they once knew.

The cast is led by veteran stage performers Martha Burns and Layne Coleman as Flounder’s parents, with Natasha Greenblatt and Lara Jean Chorostecki playing his sisters. Martin Happer is divinity-student Hadley and Vivien Endicott-Douglas is Flounder’s crush Evelyn.

Set and costumes, and lights will be designed by frequent Theatre Smash collaborators Robin Fisher and Jason Hand, respectively, with John Gzowski joining us for the first time as Sound Designer. Our stage manager will be Melissa Novecosky.

Ashlie, Sarah & the Theatre Smash Board of Directors

Thank you to everyone who came, performed, bid on the silent auction, donated silent auction items, and gave time, energy and creativity for Theatre Smash’s East Coast Kitchen Party last Sunday.

With more than 110 attendees and more than $3000 raised to put towards A Boy Called Newfoundland, we deem the evening a success!   Most importantly, we were so pleased to bring a community of Smash supporters together – to eat yummy food, drink delicious libations, hear amazing music and spoken word performances, and most importantly, to kiss a fish and eat bologna.  Yes, that’s right – the Screech In was definitely a highlight of the evening.

We look forward to seeing you all in the New Year – at a romance themed Valentine’s party and of course at the show itself.

Speaking of which, look out for our e-blast with ticket information for A Boy Called Newfoundland.  It will be coming your way soon; they make a fantastic Christmas gift!
