About the show
by Norm Foster
Mar 20-29, 2026
From the author of Lunenburg and last season’s hit, Halfway There, comes the US premiere of a hilarious and heartwarming new comedy about love, family and getting married.
When a widowed father summons his grown children home to share some “big news”, they arrive in tears convinced he must be dying — why else would he pay for their plane tickets? But Dad has good news – he’s fallen in love and wants everyone to meet her! Whether you’re a parent or a child, this laugh-out-loud comedy about the people we love and the people they love, is for you!

May 8-17, 2026
In 1955 at the age of 67, Emma “Grandma” Gatewood told her children she was “going for a walk.” and set out with her duffel bag, shower curtain (to keep dry) and a pair of Ked’s sneakers to walk the Appalachian Trail. Two thousand miles later, she became the first woman to solo hike 14 states from Georgia to the top of Mt Katahdin in Maine. Don’t miss the New England premiere of this true and inspiring adventure celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit and the courage required to walk into the unknown.
