For the Townsman

The final production of Cranbrook Community Theatre's (CCT) season featuring plays by Canadian playwrights ends with Skin Flick, a comedic romp written by Norm Foster.

This hilarious one-liner comedy features a married couple and their friend united by unfortunate circumstance.  When Rollie and Daphne suddenly lose their jobs and are facing unemployment, an opportunity presents itself that they just can't refuse.  Making a "skin flick" or adult film might not be the first thing that newly jobless professionals decide to throw their last remaining funds into, but after discovering how lucrative the porn industry is, they decide to go for it.  With their crude yet savvy cameraman friend, Alex, Rollie and Daphne recruit improbable movie stars in Byron, an awkward bookie, and Jill, a feisty telegram performer.

Norm Foster creatively uses Rollie's character to narrate parts of the story for the audience.  Despite the title of the play, there's no nudity involved in Skin Flick; rather, Foster uses innuendo and suggestion to tell his tale which results in more than a few laugh-out-loud moments.

Skin Flick features phenomenal local talent on-stage and in the director's chair.  No stranger to heart-warming and funny plays, Bob McCue puts his director's cap back on for Skin Flick after directing CCT's highly successful production of Steel Magnolias in 2012.  Starring Patrick Baranowski and Tracy McGuire, the cast rounds out with Bob Wakulich, Jerrod Bondy, and Lisa Aasebo.
