Hampton Theatre Company Announces Latest Show

The curtain for the "The Drawer Boy" will open on March 21.

With the curtain closing on Other People's Money late last month, the Hampton Theatre Company is ready to set the stage for its next show, "The Drawer Boy," which will open on March 21.

The company says the production, which was written by Michael Healey, takes its inspiration from a 1972 project, called "The Farm Show," which was produced by Theatre Passe Muraille, an alternative theater that is dedicated to "creating a distinctly Canadian voice in theater.

According to the Hampton Theatre Company, the "The Drawer Boy," was written 25 years after "The Farm Show," and since its premiere in Toronto in 1999, it has become a modern-day Canadian classic, winning countless awards.
