Four close friends – Vi, Rita, Mary Ellen and Janine – meet daily at the local diner to gossip about each other’s lives and the goings on in Stewiacke. But the Nova Scotia town is about to see its routine change dramatically.
What happens when Sean, a heartbroken doctor, moves in to take a temporary job at the clinic – and takes a fancy to Janine – is the source of the heartwarming comedy in Norm Foster’s Halfway There, on stage next month at the Elmira Theatre Company.
Director Robin Bennett told The Observer that he loves Norm Foster’s work, noting he worked alongside the Canadian playwright some 20 years ago when he played the father in Maggie’s Getting Married in Waterloo.
