NEWS RELEASE
GUELPH LITTLE THEATRE
*************************
What kind of man brings his beautiful young bride to a place like this-a notorious lighthouse, stuck on a rock in the middle of the Thousand Islands in 1913!
Peter Colley has again woven an enticing tale in his new comedic thriller The Ghost Island Light. It is directed by award-winning director Pamela Niesiobedzki-Curtis, assisted by Jayne Simpson and produced by Denise Gismondi.
Josiah Tollifsen (Ken Cameron) is not a nice man! He is so jealous of other men’s attentions to his young wife, which he has convinced her that they are so destitute that they have had to leave their society life in port to live on a Spartan rock.
No matter how much Rowena (Oriana Abrahamse) complains, he insists it is a done deal- the lives of thousands depends upon his running the lighthouse. But he did not count on the new assistant lighthouse keeper (Shayne Coffin) not being a grizzly old salt from whom he could learn from, but rather a handsome wealthy ladies man (who knows as little about the running of the place as he does).
Add to the cast a no nonsense house keeper (Rihannon Phillips) who can only come once a month and a ghost who has a mysterious hold upon Rowena, and it makes for a wonderful evening of entertainment. Not only will they have you sitting upon the edge of your seat, but also they will have you laughing in the aisle from their comic antics.
The Ghost Island Light opens at Guelph Little Theatre 176 Morris St., Guelph on Friday, April 6, 2018. Our renowned playwright will be in attendance at this time, and there will be an opening gala following the show that night.
The play runs for three weekends with evening performances April 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 19 20, 21 at 8 p.m. and two Sunday matinees on April 8 and 15, 2018 at 2 p.m. For tickets contact the box office at 519-821-0270 or online.
