Curtains rise on the RRTC’s The Viewing Room Nov. 14 to 18

CONSTANCE BAY – They say tragedy plus time equals comedy, and on Nov. 14 we will see if a play that takes place in a funeral home’s viewing room is too soon, as the Rural Root Theatre Company’s (RRTC) next production takes over El-Chantiry Hall this week.

The RRTC is presenting its latest performance, a dark comedy, Mark Smith’s The Viewing Room, at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay community centre (262 Len Purcell Dr.) on the newly renovated stage in El-Chantiry Hall Nov. 14 to 18.

The production debuted Nov. 12 to a packed theatre, and picks up its run starting Tuesday, Nov. 14 to Nov. 18. The Friday and Saturday showing offers a dinner option as well.
