In our green room in the back of Cedar Community Hall. 

2388 Cedar Rd. Nanaimo, BC.

 

We will be presenting "The Garage Sale" by David King.

​​

“The Garage Sale”  by David King is a quirky Canadian comedy first produced by Vancouver’s Tamahnous Theatre in 1983.  A suburban couple and their two teenage twin children are having a garage sale.  The only trouble is no one is quite sure what’s going on.  Phil the father hasn’t told them he wants to move to the desert.  Anna, the mother, doesn't know why some of the cherished family items are up for sale.  The twins don’t want to help and are bothered by the presence of Bill, a stranger who claims to live nearby and is only interested in buying things he doesn’t need.  There’s also a neighbor whose garage has been vandalized and an overly happy couple who arrive in a car painted many colours.  Through it all many questions remain unanswered, and though written over forty years ago, reveals a story that mirrors the great disconnect felt in society today, and the value we place on material goods.
