Westerburg High is ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing junta: Heather, Heather and Heather, the hottest and cruellest girls in all of Ohio. But misfit Veronica Sawyer rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the dark and sexy stranger J.D., who plans to put the Heathers in their place - six feet under.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Straight-laced, very conservative, and also a former football player. A simple guy, not

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           The performer must be comfortable with some intimacy with the character of Ram’s Dad (on-stage kiss).
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Character Age 30 to 50

           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Former football player turned suburban Dad, has never outgrown his glory days in high school. Hates weakness, but is capable of soul-searching when tragedy strikes.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Big, jolly personality that barely conceals the enormous rage bubbling just below the surface. Quite possibly a serial bomber.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Stalwart, man’s man; quick to defend his players.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

      <description>So what did you thnk?  We'd love your feedback.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Thank you from all of us at The Oakville Players
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           On behalf of the entire cast, crew, and board thank all those who took the time to listen to our presentation of Bram Stoker's Dracula! Special thanks if you also attended our finale last weekend!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Some of you know this was our first-ever mini-series and podcast production in our 61-year history.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            As much as we'd prepared ourselves for what the last 4 months were going to look like embarking on a project of this sort, we could not have come out on the other side without the total dedication and incredible contribution from our cast and crew, beginning with our talented director/writer/editor,
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            We also knocked it out of the park assembling our brilliant performers for this production. It was an absolute joy listening to them take the words off the page and into our ears.  We are immensely grateful to
           &#xD;

  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We are thrilled to announce we have begun rehearsals for our fall 2023 production.   Though we known for our radio plays, this time around we are trying something a little different.    Firstly, the event we have in mind is a mini-series featuring 10 episodes that are scheduled to be released over several weeks.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            t 9 episodes will be releases twice a week as an audio only program where, listeners can enjoy the the story unfold at their own pace.  The twist is the Series Finale (10th episode) will only (for the time being) be presented live and in person! 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           For those that live too far away far away, would need to wait awhile. We'll also produce a podcast version of the finale and release it sometime later in the year. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Dracula: A Radio Play Mini-Series is based on the original novel by Bram Stoker, penned over 125 years ago.   Our director, Robin Sadavoy, adapted the story for our production.

      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We bid farewell to John Marlatt.   
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            We are very sorry to learn of John's unexpected passing in the early hours of Monday morning on July 24th.  As many of you know John was the owner of the Moonshine Cafe where he provided unwavering support for musicians and performing artists since 2006. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When we approached John last year to host our Top 10 Comeback Festival, the first show back since the pandemic closures, he did so without hesitation.    We sincerely appreciated him letting us call the Moonshine Cafe home that weekend, including taking over his parking lot!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Our condolences to his family (including his wife, Jane, and son, Dan) his friends, and his fans. 
          &#xD;

           In an effort to reduce our overhead costs, we have decided to purge our large storage unit of most of its contents.  Funds raised selling items will be used offset the costs of clearing out of the storage unit, truck rental and disposal fees. We hope to avoid shipping the items to a landfill site and instead give our goodies new homes!

           It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of our friend Jim Curley earlier this month.
          &#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

            Jim was also often found backstage in various capacities.  We last collaborated with Jim when he directed our last two radio plays,

      <title>Comeback Festival:  Call For Submissions</title>
      <link>https://www.oakvilleplayers.ca/comeback-festival-call-for-submissions</link>
      <description>The Oakville Players announces a call for submissions for their May 2022 Comeback Festival.  We invite anyone with a 10 minute or less script or show idea to apply!   Deadline is February 2022</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Oakville Players is heading back to the stage!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Well, it looks like Covid-19 keeps upstaging plans for everybody including us. This is why we've remained cautious yet optimistic with our plans to return to the stage. Just as well since the wake of the latest virus strain is forcing capacity limits to once again be a moving target.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           By now you have probably already figured out our March 2022 production is not happening.  Instead, we've decided to make our way back further into the new year in a way that provides us with options to pivot if the climate warrants it.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The good news is we can spend our time focusing on our other tradition - The One-Act Festival!  Yes, it's back but with a twist!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We are opening up opportunities for newcomers and seasoned theatre lovers alike to submit 10 minutes scripts or show ideas. These will be presented in front of a live audience, and also streamed &amp;amp; recorded live to an online one.
          &#xD;

      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Join our very own online community!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Right on the heels of the recent launch of this website is the release of our very first community website. This second website site was designed to not only make it easy for you to sign up for or renew a membership, but it's also a place for all of us to connect, when we can't in person.
            &#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        
            Since we spend so much time online (and way more the last 16 months), having a home online for our members and fans is an essential way to help us grow and support our theatre community.
            &#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        
            Rather than spoil you with the details, why not take a look for yourself?  In fact, while you are at it, please go ahead and sign up for a membership :)! If you aren't ready to join as a full member, we even have a free Fan Club option with limited access but enough to stay in touch!
             &#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        
            To get you started, there are a

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;a href="https://community.oakvilleplayers.ca/index.php/top-academy/getting-started-tutorial/website-tour" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
      
           series of bite sized video walkthroughs
          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            to demonstrate just how easy it is to sign up and use the website. 
             &#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

            &#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        
            Oh, and in case you missed the recent launch of this website, check it out too! We've posted nearly 3000 images with more to come to help us showcase our nearly 60 year history.

      <title>Welcome To Our New Website</title>

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Despite being closed to any theatre production, we have remained busy these last several months.   Our biggest task this year is the building and launching of two websites.   The first one as you see here, is home to evidence of our long standing tradition of presenting live theatre in Oakville and surrounding cities.   We encourage you to take a look around and stay awhile. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           There is still an abundance of memorabilia that will be added as we continue scanning newspaper articles and photos but we could not wait any longer to show you what we have so far.  If you have old photos or anything you'd like us to add to our website, feel free to reach out to us.   As you will soon see, we have little to no documentation of our yearly years dating back to the 1960's.
           &#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Our second website will soon launch as well.    This site will be home to our online community where you can connect with other members, be kept up to date on announcements (like auditions) and participate in courses or workshops.    Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks.   Until then  we invite you to visit this site often!
