Borelians Community Theatre (Port Perry, ON)

The Borelians wrap up their 2008-2009 theatre season with a story you won’t want to miss – even if you’ve never taken in live theatre before. In Kiss the Moon, Kiss the Sun, Canada’s most popular playwright, Norm Foster, does what he does best - tickles the funnybone and pulls at the heartstrings – all at the same time.

Robert is sociable, has a pretty good job, and loves his mother. Holly is luckless, penniless and jobless, and willing to do just about anything to make ends meet. Simon, the professor, confuses everyone when his perfect command of the English language seems to convey quite the opposite of what he means, and Claire reminds us all of the wonders of a mother’s love. Dr. Andrews tries her best to help others get a realistic grip on some of the challenges life throws at them. Kiss the Moon, Kiss the Sun is a heart-warming story which, as in real life, is a constant tug-of-war between humour and tragedy, as a pregnant young woman and a disabled man meet at a bus stop, begin a friendship, and find their lives, and the lives of others around them, are changed forever.

Robert is played by well-known Port Perry actor, David Lepp; and Claire is played by equally well-known Jackie Del Greco. Simon is played by one of Port Perry’s favourite actors, Michael Serres, while new-comer Tavia Pereira travels all the way to Port Perry from Whitby to take on the role of Holly. Also new to the Port Perry stage is Scugog Island resident, Josette Blais-Jol, who plays the part of Dr. Andrews. Producer and award-winning Director Vivian Lee is thrilled with her cast and has enjoyed every minute of rehearsal time. Award-winning set designer Andrew Oxenham returns to create the set, along with award-winning set decorator and props creator extraordinaire, Jennifer Hardie, who hails all the from Eldon Station.
