MASKS ARE RECOMMENDED AT DOMINO THEATRE

Programming Announcement

Due to developments that were beyond our control, Domino Theatre has found it necessary to cancel its planned production of A Few Good Men, scheduled for March of 2024. In its place, we are beyond delighted to offer a set-in-the-twentieth-century production of As You Like It, by William Shakespeare, directed by Peter Aston. With this production, Domino is returning to its roots. The initial intent of our theatre's founders, in 1952, was to produce Shakespeare, classics, and to encourage and produce Canadian plays, by and for the community. Given Aston's extensive familiarity and professional experience with Shakespeare and Renaissance plays, this promises to be quite a treat. So, please join with us, this coming March, and escape into the fantastical Forest of Arden, where Shakespeare sets a mischievous romantic comedy. With a mixture of humour, clever wordplay, and mistaken identities, a colourful cast of characters await you to celebrate the many aspects of love. Auditions for As You Like It are Nov. 18, 19 and 21.

Exciting Auditorium Enhancements!

The reviews are in and we like what we hear. We have installed acoustic panels on the walls of the auditorium to reduce unwanted echoes, thus enhancing your listening experience. Judging from the comments received so far, it works. Please come hear for yourself.

Season 71

Since its unusual beginning between feature films at the old Odeon Theatre, Domino has grown to a full seven-play winter season. Each season offers an appealing mix of drama, comedy and mystery from the Canadian and world stages.

Domino is truly a "community" theatre. People from all walks of life pool their skills to present productions of a consistently high calibre. As a member of the Eastern Ontario Drama League and Theatre Ontario, Domino is actively involved in the Ontario amateur theatre community and has acted as host to several annual festivals. Many Domino people and productions have been recognized for their excellence at the regional and provincial levels.

With a Board of Directors elected by the membership, and with advertised auditions open to all, Domino welcomes the participation of interested volunteers both on stage and behind the scenes.
