Dot the T Productions is in rehearsal for their sophomore production \u2014 the hit comedy On a First Name Basis<\/em> by Canada\u2019s most performed playwright Norm Foster. A 10-stop tour throughout Muskoka \/Parry Sound is in the works for May\/June 2018.<\/p>\n

Lake of Bays resident, Joan Bendon (director of Dot the T’s performance of Billy Bishop Goes to War<\/em>), will once again be at the helm as her husband, William Colgate (Billy Bishop in Billy Bishop Goes To War<\/em>), and Muskoka\u2019s own Teal Cochrane take on the lead roles in this delightful two-hander.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

On A First Name Basis<\/em> tells the story of a successful but cantankerous novelist, David Kilbride, who one day realizes that he knows absolutely nothing about his long-time housekeeper of 28 years, Lucy Hopperstaad. She, on the other hand, knows absolutely everything about him! When David decides to make it his mission to learn all he can about Lucy, things get very interesting, very quickly. With revelations that are surprising, funny, and moving, On A First Name Basis<\/em> is a love story, a social commentary and a mystery wrapped in vivid imagery and witty dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost performances of On a First Name Basis<\/em> will be presented in a dinner\/theatre format,\u201d says Jan Jacklin, producer of both Dot The T Productions. \u201cThis setting proved to be very popular with our audiences for Billy Bishop Goes To War <\/em>so if it ain\u2019t broke\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

On A First Name Basis<\/em> will be performed in at least 10 venues from Parry Sound to Dwight to South River and Bracebridge during May and June 2018. Group rates, senior discounts and general audience ticket sales will be available as soon as all venues have been secured.<\/p>\n

Dot the T\u2019s inaugural production, Billy Bishop Goes to War<\/em>, proved to be a resounding success. Continued interest in Billy Bishop Goes To War<\/em> has sparked demand for a second tour in the spring\/summer of 2018. This tour will reunite original cast members William Colgate and Cameron Gibson. No dates or venues have been confirmed at the time of this release, but Dot the T\u2019s website will be updated as further information becomes available.<\/p>\n
