About
Established in the fall of 2015, The Foster Festival is the only Canadian theatre festival to celebrate the work of a living playwright. Norm Foster is the most produced playwright in Canadian history with over 60 plays receiving an average of 150 productions each year across Canada and internationally.
Our #Niagara community is very fortunate that Norm Foster and his hilarious heartwarming plays have found a permanent home in our local world-class venue.
Tune in for a reading of the Foster favourite "Here on the Flight Path" performed by Melanie Janzen and Jamie Williams. Love, life and loss are all discussed with big laughs and a few tears in what many describe as Norm Foster’s funniest play ever.
The performance will be followed by a Q&A session with the actors and Norm Foster!
Organizer
FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre
The FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre is a large purpose-built cultural complex located in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario. It opened in 2015 as the result of a partnership between the City of St. Catharines and Brock University, which share the venue for production, performance and learning purposes. It comprises four separate venues: a 770-seat concert hall (Partridge Hall), 300-seat recital hall, 210-seat multi-purpose dance/theatre venue (Robertson Theatre), and the 199-seat Film House.
The creation of the centre spurred a cultural and economic renaissance in downtown St. Catharines along with its neighbouring Meridian Centre and Brock University's Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts.
