BORN LUCKY
The Musical
by Randy Vancourt

Three singer/musicians from a small farming community go on the road in an effort to publicize the upcoming sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) of their little town. In song, story and verse, they tell the comic history of their town and some of the oddball characters who live there.

BORN LUCKY is based on the books by A. Lawrence Vancourt, award-winning author of the internationally acclaimed JUST A COMMON SOLDIER (A Soldier Died Today).

The songs range from funny to heartbreaking, and they even pay homage to our very own Tommy Hunter. This is a show that is Canadian, small town and proud.

 

CHARACTERS: 2 Male / 1 Female

MARKING TIME
A musical comedy by Randy Vancourt

The year is 1961 and the setting is the broadcast studio of THOSE KRAZY KIDZ, a radio show reminiscent of The Happy Gang. It seems that their style of radio show just can't compete in a world turning increasingly to television; the cast, all in their mid to late 20's, are shocked to learn that they have been cancelled. After five years of gainful employment each of the characters now faces an unknown future in their own way; denial, avoidance and ultimately acceptance.

Featuring five high-energy actors and musicians and a '60-style rock & roll score, MARKING TIME is an evening of laughs and fun. It's a perfect musical for summer stock or student productions.

SMASHED
A comedy by Randy Vancourt

Fifteen years ago Max, Todd, Howard and Crash graduated university. Those years spent together created a close bond of friendship between them, one which they vowed to continue. During one final night of debauchery they concocted a unique plan: they pooled their money and purchased a rare bottle of one-hundred year old Port with the agreement that they would all meet up again in ten years' time and consume it.

Opening their bottle of Port was meant to be a celebration of where their lives had taken them. In an evening full of laughs, old rivalries and comic misunderstandings, they examine the camaraderie they once shared. Slowly they come to the conclusion that perhaps their bottle of fine wine isn't the only thing that was rare, valuable and easily smashed.
