The show runs from April 23-25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts.The comedy, by Jules Tasca, tells the tale of small town leader Wayne Stone, who is the head of the local film review board. He and his prudish colleagues strive to keep smutty movies out of their small community. Hilarity ensues when Stone's underground film-making son returns to take over the local movie house to exhibit his X-rated movies, his latest, The Shoe Fetish. The Mind with the Dirty Man will be presented as part of an Après Dinner series, an intimate dessert and wine theatre experience. As such, it will be held in the Studio Theatre, so space will be limited. Tickets cost $20.75 to $24.75. For tickets or information, call the box office at 905-815-2021 or visit www.poorcousin.ca.
