Description

Murder Tonight, a play by Halifax playwright Nick Jupp, was part of TAG’s 2023-24 season.  The show’s run was shortened due to circumstances beyond our control.  We are very proud to present a remount of this original play.

 

The story features three sisters, Olivia, Mia and Sophia as they struggle with the needs of aging parents at a time in their own lives when education, careers and relationships are pulling each of them in different directions. Tensions rise between them, often provoked by upwardly mobile Sophia.  Mia tries to keep things even and stable while clever Olivia seems to be going in a completely different direction.

 

Time passes and the sisters gather to celebrate Olivia's husband's birthday. Sophia enjoys a wealthy lifestyle now that her husband Noah is a successful lawyer.  Mia is married to Liam, and they own a successful hair salon.  But there is something not quite right in their lives. Olivia, after rising from the lowest ranks, has become a Police Detective Inspector. She also may have finally found the love of her life. 

 

When secrets are exposed, sometimes reactions go too far and then a chain reaction starts … that hopefully can be controlled.

 

Murder Tonight, contains an adult theme, adult language, sexual inferences, violence and brief loud noises.

Theatre Arts Guild

The Theatre Arts Guild is proud to be the country’s oldest community theatre with a record of continuous operation. The Guild was founded in 1931 (through a merger of the Little Theatre Movement and the Halifax Dramatic and Musical Club), and has presented entertainment each year since then.

“The Dover Road,” by A.A. Milne was the group’s first production in May of 1931, and was given at the Garrick Theatre (the present Neptune Theatre),  since the group did not have a permanent home. “Dover Road” was repeated for TAG’s 60th Anniversary in 1991.

Over the years, the Guild has had several homes and performed in many venues, including the Capitol Theatre, the former College Street School, and the gymnasium of HMCS Scotian and St. Patrick’s High School. In 1966 however, the Guild acquired a former church hall at 6 Parkhill Road and this property, renamed The Pond Playhouse, has been its home ever since.
