This new play will be created by the team of Jeff Haslam, Jana O’Connor and Stewart Lemoine. Teatro’s July production (July 10 to 26) revives a classic 1963 Broadway comedy: Barefoot in the Park, and stars Rachel Bowron and Ryan Parker. Teatro’s Fringe presence is a new original Lemoine, still unannounced, stars Andrew MacDonald-Smith, Mathew Hulshof, Shannon Blanchet, Amber Bissonnette, Belinda Cornish and Jenny McKillop. The season finale, and Teatro’s final production at the current Varscona before its makeover, is a revival of Lemoine’s 2008 hit Happy Toes. The production, which runs Oct. 2-18, reassembles the original cast: Julien Arnold, Jeff Haslam, Ron Pederson, Davina Stewart, and Leona Brausen.
