The Numbers Game is about an actuary who moves in with his high school crush after a recent breakup.
TILLSONBURG - Theatre Tillsonburg is about to debut its first show of the season.
The Numbers Game is a Canadian rom-com by John Spurway and it will make this debut this Thursday night.
Director Joe Sheik says it centers around an actuary named Phil Gibson.
"He lives his life by the numbers, because that's his job, but now the numbers have worked against him. He's is suddenly single and looking for somewhere to live and in comes Bernadette Davis, his high school crush from 37 years ago! They couldn't be more completely opposite if they tried and yet they find themselves together and that is where the comedy ensues."
Sheik is also bringing his own twist to the local production.
"We're going to take things that were normally set for disappearing off stage and just being heard about, and you're going to see them visually on the stage."
They have eight performances scheduled before the curtain closes on November 22nd with five evening shows and three matinees. Tickets cost $27 and they can be purchased through the Theatre Tillsonburg website online here.
The theatre also installed 62 new LED recently, thanks to a $125,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Those lights will be used for the first time during this production.
Joe Sheik and Kelly Verhoeve stopped by the Heart FM studio to chat with Dan and Marcie on Friday, November 6th. You can listen to the full interview below:
