Wednesday, March 21, 2001 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Company is committed to three plays annually (Continued from page C1) with a group of enthusiastic members of Hopedale Presbyterian Church. BOTG began its illustrious career w ith people from O akville and Burlington - hence the name - pre senting mostly comedies. However, it has since moved on to produce dramas and even Shakespearean plays. The group's humble beginnings in Sheridan College and then Nelson High School in Burlington moved on to the bigger stage at the Oakville Cen tre in 1977, and it has been entertaining people from that stage ever since. Two years later, the Oakville Drama Series was bom with BOTG, the Oakville Players and the Every man Theatre, forming a subscription series of seven plays. Burl-Oak pre sented three o f those plays and has been committed to presenting three productions each season since that inaugural year. Moon Over Buffalo is BurlOak's upcoming presentation at the Oakville Centre, going on stage from April 19 to 21 and again from April 25 to 28. Once that season finale is over, the silver anniversary celebrations will begin. And BOTG will celebrate this m om entous occasion with a dinner/dance on Saturday, May 12 at the St. Volodymyr Cultural Centre on Dundas Street West. "We're hoping to have some of the original members and ex-members attend," says Reynolds, noting that some alumni have already responded to invitations. "There will be lots of archival things to see." Former members who would like to receive more information about or an invitation to this special occasion, are asked to call the BurlOak studio at 825-0138 as soon as possible.

Hockey Dad is a love story, written with humour and compassion and featuring characters that everyone is bound to recognize. Donna and Teddy are two young single parents who meet at the hockey rink as they watch their kids play a season of minor league hockey in a crumbling Cape Breton arena. Teddy is a divorced school janitor and ex-coach who has big dreams for his over weight son to make the NHL. His shouts of abuse to the referees, coaches and players alike reflect a touch o f racism as well as a hint of violence. As a coach without a team and a father without a ·family, Teddy's world is turned upside down when he meets Donna. Donna is a shy single mom and unem ployed teacher whose introverted son has joined the house league to try to gain confi dence and make friends. She is recovering from an abusive marriage, and as her fond ness for Teddy grows, so does her fear of the violence she can see in him as he releas es his frustration and anger at the rink. Through the masterful dialogue of one of Canada's leading playwrights, the audi ence gets to know the hopes and fears of each of these parents, for themselves and for their children. But, just as romance attracts them, fear and distrust serve as wedges to keep them apart. Hockey Mom, Hockey Dad will be pre sented by Two Planks and a Passion Theatre Company at the Oakville Centre for the Per forming Arts on Sunday, April 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $24.99 and are available by visiting or calling the box office at 130 Navy St., 815-2021, weekdays from noon to 5 p.m., Saturdays from 2 to 5 p.m. or two hours prior to a performance.
