The Foursome
by Norm Foster
This play was memorable for a number of reasons. It's a great story about old pals reuniting. We staged it in the round, where tee-shots were swung inches away from audience faces. We can't hear the song December '63 without thinking of the heartwarming chorus line dance at the finale.

Full Length Play
Incorruptible
by Michael Hollinger
This play was built on the premise that religious artifacts are not only part of faith but also finances. The descent and ascent of the fate of this monastery illustrates the indomitable spirit of humanity.

Full Length Play
Red Herring
by Michael Hollinger
This was an ingenious script involving a number of seemingly unrelated people during the cold war. The multiple set staging made it even more interesting.

Proposals
Neil Simon
There were a few graduated High School Drama Club kids kicking around town for the summer, so we thought we would engage them and entertain our audience in a rare example of summer stock theatre.

Steel Magnolias
Steel Magnolias was a stage play before it was adapted for film a few years later. It is a moving story of friendships, loss and endurance.

As Peak's 25th Anniversary celebration, we decided that one play was not enough. We would present two full length plays on alternating nights over two weeks.
Over the River and Through the Woods was a funny, gentle look at a family in evolution, while A Drawer Boy was somewhat more angst driven.

The Importance Of Being Earnest

After the fun we had with Proposals the previous summer, we decided to re-mount this favourite classic comedy of manners.

Polish Joke
by David Ives
This was a complex play, which had at its heart the hopes and challenges of marginalized nationalities. Because there were so many different scenes and locations, we opted to use some multi-media techniques to stage it.

Moon Over Buffalo
by Ken Ludwig
This was our first experience with Ken Ludwig, although we had been considering his scripts for years. This was a theatre-folk farce, and very fun to work on.

Incorruptible
by Michael Hollinger
We had long wanted to return to the Edmonton International Fringe Festival and after several tries, secured ourselves a berth in their lottery.
We chose to remount this play because it is quirky and a little unsavoury, just like the Festival.
We had to flog the show to get decent houses, but got a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars in the Journal, which helped make the show even more successful.

Ethan Claymore
by Norm Foster
This sweet script appealed to us immediately, and we enjoyed producing it as our Christmas offering.
