TOM, DICK AND HARRY
by Ray Cooney and Michael Cooney
The Astor Theatre Society is excited to be producing the farce, “Tom, Dick and Harry”, by Ray and Michael Cooney.
In this hilarious story of three brothers, Tom and his wife are about to adopt a baby. His brothers are anxious to help make a good impression on the woman from the agency who has arrived to check on the home and lifestyle of the prospective parents. Unfortunately Dick, who has stashed boxes of smuggled brandy and cigarettes in the house, and Harry, who is in possession of a cadaver he is planning to sell illegally to a medical school, fail miserably. The adoption agency representative is aghast – and the illegal Kosovan aliens who do not speak English are no help at all!
“Tom, Dick and Harry” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

Set on a Nova Scotia dairy farm, John Andrew has just lost his wife Miranda to cancer. When a young woman with a startling resemblance to Miranda appears on his porch, an odyssey towards understanding begins. John Andrew’s estranged son Donald is now Dawn, and she’s come home to mourn her mother and keep her promise to repair her relationship with her Dad. Restoring the tractor her mother learned to drive on becomes a focus for the mechanically minded Dawn. John Andrew begins to realize that if he’s to reclaim this relationship, he has to come out with Dawn, and what better setting than the community tractor trials — an event Miranda created as a tireless village volunteer — where he proudly cheers for his daughter Dawn, as she enters the arena at the wheel of the lovingly restored tractor.

An established Mi’kmaq artist, Alan Syliboy’s work is influenced by the indigenous Mi’kmaq rock drawing and quill weaving traditions. Working in acrylic and mixed media, Alan creates vibrantly coloured images exploring the themes of family, searching, spirituality, struggle, and strength. The use of layering symbols and mark making creates depth and texture in Alan’s work.
Alan Syliboy is an established Mi’kmaq artist, writer and musician. He was born in Truro and lives at Millbrook First Nation. His band, The Thundermakers, includes Evan Syliboy on lead guitar, Lukas Pearce, bassist and sound designer and video mapping projectionist, Joanne Hatfield on vocals, guitar, flute, piano and percussion and Aaron Prosper on vocals and percussion, as well as group leader, percussionist and storyteller Alan Syliboy. The Thundermakers often invite special guest musicians and dancers to enhance their live performances, and we are very happy that acclaimed fiddler Morgan Toney from Wagmatcook First Nation will be joining them in Liverpool.
This spellbinding show, on the Astor stage for the first time, will feature songs and spoken word pieces, all accompanied by a multimedia art film. Check out these links for a taste of what you will experience on March 5th.
We are thrilled that Alan has also agreed to have an exhibition of his stunning artwork, which will be on display and for sale in our galleries for the month of March.
