Theatre Collingwood Presents Norm Foster’s Newest Play – THE BEAN

Theatre Collingwood is delighted to present The Bean, the latest world premiere comedy from Canada’s most celebrated playwright, Norm Foster. Running June 23–26 at the beautiful and intimate Marsh Street Centre in Clarksburg, this witty and touching new play promises audiences laughter, heart, and Foster’s signature insight into human connection.

Set in a cozy local coffee shop, The Bean follows Dennis Hill, a devoted father who begins each day at his favourite café after dropping his daughter at school. Cheryl Partridge has just started a new job at the law firm across the street. Aside from their need for caffeine and the fact that they’re both single, the two appear to have little in common. But as they continue crossing paths Monday through Friday, casual conversations slowly turn into surprising revelations, and an unlikely friendship begins to brew.
