Bedtime Stories to leave University Players audiences laughing

University Players will close its season with the rollicking romp Bedtime Stories by Canadian playwright Norm Foster, running March 31 through April 9 in Essex Hall Theatre.

Gordon McCall returns to University Players to direct this crowd-pleasing adult comedy.

Six hilarious tales linked by one racy radio broadcast feature an ambitious radio shock jock, a responsible middle-aged couple, a woman visiting a dying man she snubbed years ago, two bumbling burglars, a rock star’s young groupie, and an accident-prone stripper.

“It’s a brilliant reminder of the strength of love and friendship in one very funny package,” says McCall.

Wednesday through Saturday performances are at 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. On Sunday, April 2, a free “Talk Back” discussion with the actors will follow the performance. Tickets are available online at www.UniversityPlayers.com or by phoning the box office at 519-253-3000, ext. 2808.
