WHERE THE MAGIC LIVES.
Members - $54 Under 19 - $30
Welcome to the 2015-16 Fredericton Playhouse Spotlight Series – our flagship program at Fredericton’s
premier live performance venue. This season, we are delighted to bring some of the most exciting artists
touring today to our stage.
Diversity is a cornerstone of our Spotlight Series. On the following pages, you’ll find something for every
taste and curiosity. Classical, contemporary and traditional artistic offerings in music, theatre and dance
all come alive in large-scale productions and small intimate concerts.
Our 2015-16 Spotlight Series features a number of familiar artists, but many others are making their
first visit to our community. While it may be easier to commit to the familiar, I encourage you to
take a chance and try something completely new to you. Some of the most rewarding and inspiring
conversations I have had with our patrons are with those who had no idea what to expect when they
came to a performance and left the theatre in awe. So this year, I invite you to take a leap into the
unknown and be prepared to be surprised. Sometimes, that’s where the magic lives.
I would like to thank all of the people and organizations who make this award-winning series work.
Our sponsors, donors (Friends of the Fredericton Playhouse), funders and other partners continue to be
there for us and for you, the audience.
I hope you enjoy these performances as much as we enjoy presenting them to you.

Wingfield Lost and Found
Saturday, November 21 at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, November 22 at 2 p.m.
The much beloved Wingfield series returns to the Fredericton Playhouse with the latest
instalment, the insightful and hilarious Wingfield Lost and Found. Set in the midst of a record
drought, the search is on to locate a new well on Wingfield Farm. Along the way, distractions
abound: a high-tech cattle drive, a battle with yellowjackets, a feud with a red-tailed hawk and
a well driller who is all too happy to perforate the ground at forty dollars a foot. Is it the end of
farming for Walt and Maggie, or can the precious liquid be found?
More than an environmental comedy, Wingfield Lost and Found is a
whimsical reminder that searching can turn up more than what is
lost and teach us the value of more than what is found.

Presley. She went on to emerge as a star in her own right, with Billboard hits such as “He’s a Rebel,”“The Boy I’m Going

she’s performed annually for 30 years on The Late Show with David Letterman. She has also starred in Broadway hits like
Hairspray and Grease, and even played herself in Leader of the Pack, credited as Broadway’s first “jukebox musical.”
One of the subjects of the Oscar and Grammy-winning documentary Twenty Feet from Stardom, Love was inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. As the New York Times raves: “Darlene Love’s thunderbolt voice is as embedded
