Grant believed he and Leanne were happily married but, lately, she has been behaving in a rather secretive manner. Now he wonders if she is seeing another man! Enlisting the help of Leanne’s best friend, Maureen, Grant decides to find out what is really happening behind his back…
Last Rites by Guy Newsham
Directed by Daniel Presley-Spinks
"A Priest visits a Prisoner on Death Row.
Before his execution is set to commence, the prisoner searches for a purpose in life and to confess his sins, but not until the Priest goes first."
There Used to be a Playground by Peter Paylor
Directed by Vickie Williams
Susan sits down in a Walmart parking lot (her former school yard) to wait for Brian. Twenty-five years ago, they had agreed to meet here. While she is waiting, Anthony walks by and recognizes her as a frequent patron at his restaurant. They chat for a while until Susan asks him to leave so she can be alone hoping that Brian will show up. Brian arrives, they talk, he explains he’s now married, he then leaves. Anthony returns and he continues to talk with Susan and a friendship develops.
Poaching From the Pirates by Adri Boodoosingh
Directed by Joshua Chorolovski
Stan and Beryl are a seemingly normal older couple with crazy hobby. They steal packages from their neighbours, and they are pretty good at it too. Though with the increase of technology they are struggling to keep up. They eventually get caught by Zinck and Mimi, but instead of being turned in they become victims of black mail. This fun little skit shows that lessons can still be taught and friends can sprout from the strangest of experiences.

Theatre August One Act Play Festival 2026
Sound Designers Needed for Theatre August
No experience needed - a great time to learn!
Already dreading hot August nights? Come stay cool with us and learn a new skill. We’re looking for sound designers and operators for Theatre August, which takes to the Pinnacle Playhouse's stage August 27, 28, 29 and 30.
Sound designers and operators will be asked to do the following within their role:
- Working with directors of the One Act plays, you will assemble music cues and sound effects from various online resources to meet the needs of the plays.
- You will learn how to program a show using our Show Cue Systems software. Programming sound cues is ensuring they are in the correct order, duration, volume, etc.
- The designer attends rehearsals to learn the show and specifically attends the technical and Cue to Cue rehearsals to make last minute changes.
- As a sound designer, you will also serve as a sound board operator as well. This means you you will play the music and sound effect cues you programmed from the technical booth at the back of the auditorium. There will be a stage manager present to dictate when lighting and sound cues are played for precision.
- Knowledge of Windows 11, Audacity audio editing software, musically inclined are assets.
Where being generally comfortable with a computer is needed as a foundation, none of the before mentioned knowledge of software is a must. Our Theatre August One Act Festival is a program where we specifically try to mentor and offer support for members looking to gain new skills.
Please email Gerry Fraiberg, BTG Technical Director, to express interest and ask questions.
