John (second from left), played by Garfield Andrews, has some explaining to do along with his colleague David, played by Perry Mucci in Whose Wives Are They Anyway? Playhouse launch quite a farce
their wives. Then things get frenetic when the new boss demands to meet the absen- tee wives. Heading up the cast are Garfield Andrews playing John, and Perry Mucci as David, the two executives are left scrambling to find decoy wives at the country club in a desper- ate attempt to keep from running afoul of their new boss. Joining them are Kate Gordon, who plays the receptionist, Tina, Cornwall actress Brenda Quesnel as the club manager Mrs. Carlson, and Bruce Tubbe as Wilson the handyman. All three are familiar faces at the Playhouse: Gordon played in last season’s A Nice Family Gathering , Quesnel was featured in the hilarious 2012 season opener Hotbed Hotel, and Tubbe was a key character and last Decembers’ holiday hit Everything I Love About Christmas. Rounding out the cast are Erin MacKin- non as John’s wife Laura, Viviana Zarrillo as David’s wife Karly, and Otttawa actress Mary Ellis. MacKinnon was also in last season’s opening show, but it has been two decades since Zarillo and Ellis have graced the Play- house stage. “It’s a nice big case of very talented and funny actors who are skilled in all the things that make comedy work,” Bowes said. “The audience is in for a treat.” The production runs Tuesday through Sunday with shows at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Call the Playhouse for more information at 613- 543-3713 (1-877-550-3650) or go to www. uppercanadaplayhouse.com. Flex passes are available to June 6 and regular tickets are available all season.

If comedies are all about timing, the Up- per Canada Playhouse’s season-opening farce better be bang on. In fact, if the timing of actors is off, it can be downright dangerous, due to the fast- paced production challenging the timing of actors both in the delivery of their lines and the physical drama which must be in perfect synchronicity “It’s just a hair away from disaster if peo- ple aren’t on their form,”said Donnie Bowes, Playhouse artistic director, during a press conference to announce the production Thursday in Morrisburg. The farce Whose Wives Are They Anyway? , written by American playwright Michael Parker, debuts on June 6 at the Upper Can- ada Playhouse in Morrisburg and runs until June. 30. Bowes said Parker, who considers himself a writer of“American farces”, is well skilled at his craft. “He certainly knows all the things to build a farce,” Bowes said. The play revolves around two execu- tives of a major cosmetic company who are about to get a new boss. Fearing this may be their last long weekend to let loose for awhile, they send their wives shopping so they can enjoy a weekend of golfing. Things get interesting when one of the executives happens to run into his new boss at the same country club and learns that she frowns upon men vacationing without
