**********************

You just never know what twists lie ahead in life. You just never know when you will meet someone who just might turn your life around. And that’s what the hilarious and heart-warming The Cemetery Club is all about — a chance meeting.

The three good friends who share one big thing in common, their husbands have passed on, are played by Marlo Alcock as Ida, Susan Lane as Lucille, and Denise Kennedy plays Doris. You may remember theatre veterans Marlo Alcock from the World Premiere of Ace Galaski – The Race to Save Destiny presented at the Old Town Hall in 2017 and Susan Lane had that spirited role in The Ladies Foursome, presented by the Newmarket Stage Company in spring of 2018. Denise Kennedy was the well-meaning sister in NSC’s  production of The Last Romance and displayed some fine acting.

The lone male interest in this NSC production is Jeff Burke, who actually handily directed The Ladies Foursome and lastly, but not least,  also a theatre veteran, Zara Stuart-Jones plays Mildred. You may remember Zara, who had a big role in the NSC production of Opal’s Million Dollar Duck.

Tireless Sue Meacock, back as producer of this Ivan Menchell comedy, says, “It’s a great script and we have lined up a seasoned cast for this hilarious Newmarket Stage Company presentation. It’s not to be missed!”

Directing once again is veteran Teri Hallatt and the set is by seasoned Peter Salt. With permission of Samuel French.

This NSC presentation will be at Stage 426, the Newmarket Legion, 707 Srigley St., Newmarket, with comfortable cabaret seating and refreshments available. It hits the Legion stage Nov. 29, 30, Dec. 1 and Dec. 6, 7, and 8 at 8 p.m. and has two matinees, Dec. 1 and 6 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are only $15 and are now available. Call the Newmarket Stage Company Box Office at 289-500-2114 between 2 and 4 p.m. daily.
