As we gather today, we acknowledge the sacred and traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Anishnaabeg, the Haudenosaunee, and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nations. This territory is covered by the Williams Treaties. Whitby Courthouse Theatre recognizes the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit people. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work in this community, and on this territory.

From the Director Alone in a prison cell somewhere in the dank bowels of Alcatraz Prison an inmate sits. Darkness surrounds him and the silence is deafening. Upon release from that cell he is a changed man. Originally placed there with the intention of punishing and reforming him, one is left to wonder if something unintended occurred. Did his stint in isolation give him the opportunity to plan an elaborate act of revenge? Perhaps it only drove him to insanity. Did he emerge as a murderer or a genius? Maybe it destroyed him as a man. That will be for the jury to decide.

We live in a world of unintended consequences. A government seeks to preserve jobs but their actions in doing so lead to scandal. Friends get appointed to high offices and charges of nepotism abound, while the population wonders if trust can be restored. Years ago, in Canada, a school system was created to “civilize” the indigenous people but left in its wake a tragedy of cultural rape. Some intentions are fool-hardy and should never have been initiated, and others are good and worthy yet somehow end up disastrously. On a more personal level, the “best of intentions” can and do go wrong. Simple apologies can right the wrong, but few find the strength to offer the apology. And we are left to decide what is truly the intention.

Murder in the First explores intentions and their consequences. An apparently “open and shut” case turns out to be anything but. Relationships, both personal and professional are called into play and unintended consequences emerge, damaging the relations and people face difficult decisions. The best laid plan can go awry, but can it be recovered? Are the courts seeking the truth or merely a conviction?

Murder in the First will ultimately ask of us, “is anything beyond a shadow of a doubt?” The cast examined this in rehearsals and great debates followed on who is the true victim. As we dug deeper into the author’s script, we found other levels of meaning, intention and consequences. All this we have placed on the stage before you. It will be for the jury to decide.

SettingMurder in the First takes place in San Francisco in 1940.

Who’s Who in the CastADAM ANDREWS (Willie Moore) is a Canadian/British actor. Born in Hastings, England and raised in Toronto, Canada, Adam has always had an interest in acting which has recently turned into

a love. He has recently graduated from Toronto Film School’s acting program and is currently pursuing a hopefully long and rewarding career. Adam is excited to play such a great role! This is Adams first show at WCT, and his first play after graduating from college.

MARK BOYKO (Henry Davidson) is thrilled to return to the WCT stage, after such a remarkable experience in last season’s Mambo Italiano. Mark is an elementary school teacher by day,

who’s priority is to promote an appreciation for the arts in his students through involvement in choirs, the Glee Club, and musical theatre productions. Thanks to a fantastic cast and crew who made this a truly enjoyable experience. Specials thanks go out to Laura, Holland, Ella, Mom and Tat for their constant love and support.

MIKE DOUCETTE (Houlihan) is thrilled to be making his WCT debut. He was seen in 12 Angry Men (Juror #6) –ACT – Thea Nominated, and most recently in Palmer Park (Justin) – Borelians.

Mike joins his daughter and wife in the production portion of theatre and not just waiting in the car during rehearsals. He is most thankful for his

family’s support, encouragement and love. Also, he is grateful for his many theatre friends

LISA FERREIRA (Mary McCasslin) This is Lisa’s 4th production with WCT, following Avenue Q (Bad Idea Bear), August: Osage County (Karen), and The Full Monty (Georgie). Other

recent productions: The Wedding Singer (Linda), Sister Act (Michelle), You’ll Get Used to It; The War Show (Susan), The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (Miss Mona), Cabaret (Fraülein Kost), and Young Frankenstein (Inga), all with CCP.

people in the background for all their hard work in putting this production together.

RAY JAMES (Milton Glenn) is best known for his work in improv comedy shows. His improv workshop, “Improv Comedy for the Terrified!!!” has trained many students and adults in the Durham

Region. He is profoundly grateful to Richard Newland for the opportunity to act in this gripping drama at the WCT. The cast and crew have been an inspiration to work with.

SCOTT McNAMEE (Derek Simpson) is excited to perform in his first production! He thanks his wife Mini for supporting him through the many hours of rehearsals and help with his lines. Scott is eager to further grow his acting skills and his knowledge of theatre productions. Scott

would also like to thank his cousin Rhonda for encouraging him to give it a try.

It’s Only a Playby Terrence McNally

It’s the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her Manhattan townhouse.

Downstairs, the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews. The group includes the playwright; the unstable director; the pill-popping leading lady; and the playwright’s best friend, who passed up this production for a television series.

Add to this, a drama critic who’s panned the playwright in the past and a new-in-town aspiring singer, and you have a prime recipe for the narcissism, ambition, childishness, and just plain irrationality that infuse the theatre — and for comedy.

Warning: profanity and drug use.

Little Women The Broadway MusicalMusic by Jason Howland Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein Book by Allan Knee Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott

The timeless, captivating story is now a multi-award winning Broadway musical filled with personal discovery, heartache, hope and everlasting love.

Based on Louisa May Alcott’s classic 1869 semi-autobiographical novel, it focuses on the four March sisters — traditional Meg, wild, aspiring writer Jo, timid Beth and romantic Amy at home in Concord, Massachusetts.

Struggling while their father is away serving as a Union Army chaplain during the Civil War, the young March women’s lives unfold through several recreations of melodramatic short stories Jo writes in her attic studio.

Kiss the Moon, Kiss the Sunby Norm Foster

At 35-years old, Robert has the mental capacities of an 8-year old, but that doesn’t make him any less wise in the ways of the world. Holly is pregnant, alone and simply needs the right break.

A story about people finding the nerve to take responsibility, and persevering against the odds.

Uplifting, poignant and funny, Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun will capture your heart and possibly change the way you view people forever.

“Before this glorious life is done, I shall kiss the moon and kiss the sun. It’s about trying to get the most out of life, but Robert and I have a different meaning for it. I’m the moon that watches over him at night, and he’s the sun who brightens up my days.” Norm Foster

Book, Music & Lyrics by Meredith Willson

Story by Meredith Willson & Franklin Lacey

June 6-16, 2019There’s trouble in River City and the Whitby Courthouse Theatre’s Youth Group brings it to life this June. The six-time, Tony® Award-winning musical comedy follows a fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a marching band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who tries to transform him into a respectable citizen.
