From now until July 29, 2023 the Drayton Festival Theatre is performing The New Canadian Curling Club. This play features a cast of 5 characters of different cultures that have been brought together to diversify the local curling club.
When personalities and prejudice clash, the whole program seems doomed to fail. It takes an ultimatum and some understanding of each other's situation to bring the curling team back to the rink, but it also keeps them on their toes both on and off the ice surface.
This story could ring true for small towns everywhere, so it is fitting that this comedic play is being performed in Drayton Ontario, a town with less than 3000 residents.
Inspired by the local refugee resettlement program, a small town organizes a Learn-to-Curl class to welcome newcomers. But when its organizer slips on the ice and breaks her hip, the rink’s ice maker and former champion curler Stuart MacPhail is forced to step in as head coach. Trouble is, Stuart has some strong opinions about immigrants. What follows is an inspiring and hilarious story of a group of unlikely athletes who face off against local prejudice and claim their identity as “new Canadians”.
