Adam Frazee (Sparky), David Hendrick (Francis), Eric Lavery (Jinx), & Will O'Brien (Smudge)
Once upon a time, there were four guys (Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie) who discovered that they shared a love for music and then got together to become their idols ? The Four Freshman, The Hi-Lo's and The Crew Cuts. Rehearsing in the basement of Smudge's family's plumbing supply company, they became "Forever Plaid". On the way to their first big gig, the "Plaids" are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. It is at the moment when their careers and lives end that the story of Forever Plaid begins... Singing in close harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with overzealous precision, the "Plaids" are a guaranteed smash, with a program of pop hits of the 1950s and delightful patter.

As the season begins to be publicized, you may notice some changes from past seasons
- Responding to audience and to member interest in earlier curtain times for evening performances, our Friday and Saturday performances will start at 7:30 pm, instead of 8:00 pm.
- Responding to the popularity of Sunday matinees, we have scheduled Sunday performances for each of the three weekends of the production run (with exceptions noted in the next bullet). The theatre must maintain eight-performance runs hence there is some adjustment to schedules to accommodate this.
- There are no performances on the first nights of Rosh Hashanah and Hanukkah, Easter Sunday and Mother's Day.
- The theatre has suspended its Thursday pay-what-you-want preview night initiative. The theatre is not paying the extra performance royalty for this series, so there will be no audience. The Thursday of technical week is available as a final rehearsal opportunity.
More details will be coming soon!
