On behalf of everyone at Morpheus Theatre, we would like to wish Happy New Year to all of our patrons, volunteers and friends.  A big thank you to everyone who helped pack the Pumphouse Theatre last month to share in the holiday spirit!  If you saw a great performance at It’s a Wonderful Life, we encourage you to nominate a performer, director or designer to recognize their work. Click HERE to honour our volunteers.

 

WELCOME WIN!

If you haven’t heard, we have a new Musical Director for our G&S JR Program!

Winnifred Hume has been teaching voice lessons in Calgary since 2006, after graduating with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Manitoba. She also works as an accompanist and organ scholar at the Cathedral Church of the Redeemer. Win is passionate about the music of Gilbert and Sullivan, and has appeared in and music directed several Morpheus Theatre productions since 2013. She is excited for this opportunity to share the fun of G&S with a new generation of artists!

This is a reunion production, bringing back together the cast and crew from our January 2010 production.

---

When Elwood P. Dowd, a good-natured, mild-mannered eccentric, starts to introduce his imaginary friend- Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit- to guests at a society party, his sister Veta, has seen as much of his eccentric behaviour as she can tolerate. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium to spare her daughter, Myrtle Mae, and their family from future embarrassment.
Problems arise; however, when the doctors commit Veta instead of Elwood, but when the truth comes out, the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion.

Recommended for ages 12+

At this point in the year, most companies have a show under their belts, and the theatre season is well under way! Between G&S JR, Workshops, Auditions and Performances, there is plenty going on at Morpheus these days!  Don’t forget that Gift Certificates make a great holiday gift!
