Once again, we’re hosting that tasty event where we serve up small pieces of theatre alongside delicious slices of dessert. Dessert Theatre will run at the Tom Rooney Playhouse from February 16-18. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at Homework and Teddy’s — they’ll also be available on the night of the performances at the door.

Over the years, Dessert Theatre has evolved into a satirical examination of issues in and around Prince Rupert. This year, we’ll be making fun of:

• Prince Rupert’s city council
• pioneer families
• Mayan predictions
• Enbridge
• the federal Liberal party
• Nathan Cullen
• Wal-Mart
• Gary Coons
• people who play the theremin
• old women who knit
• and much, much more….

We hope to see you there! Email harbourtheatre@gmail.com or phone (250) 624-3626 for more information.

Is the actual municipal election campaign too serious for you? Are you tired of politicians making promises they can’t keep? Would you rather see people pretend to run for an imaginary office, making wild promises they have no intention of keeping?

If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then come check out “So You Wanna Be Mayor” at the Tom Rooney Playhouse on November 18. You’ll see a bunch of fake politicians make short speeches, and you’ll get to choose the winner in the election that will ensue. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., showtime at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $10, and will only be available at the door on the night of. Why? Because this event, the first of our 2011/2012 season, also doubles as our membership drive. That’s right, for the low cost of $10, you too can become a member of Harbour Theatre, which includes some of the following benefits:

• lower ticket prices for Harbour Theatre shows;
• voting privileges during our Annual General Meeting;
• a trendy laminated card that assigns you a special membership number.

Hope to see you there! Please email harbourtheatre@gmail.com if you have any questions.
