Metro Theatre stages Norm Foster's Sinners, January 24 to February 15
Chaotic farce by Canada’s most-produced playwright follows a furniture-store owner caught in a compromising position

Sinners.
Metro Theatre presents Sinners, a delightful farce by Canada’s most-produced playwright Norm Foster, from January 24 to February 15 with showtimes at 2 pm and 8 pm.
Sinners delves into the chaotic life of furniture-store owner Peter. When Peter is caught in a compromising position with a minister’s wife, what ensues is a whirlwind of misunderstandings, rapid-fire dialogue, and laugh-out-loud moments. Described by Foster as a romp in the vein of classic British farces, Sinners promises audiences an evening of wit and laughter.
With over 60 plays to his name, Foster is celebrated as one of Canada’s most beloved playwrights. His works have been performed extensively across North America and beyond. He is renowned for his sharp wit and relatable characters, and brings his signature comedic touch to Sinners with a hilarious tale of secrets, scandals, and side-splitting escapades.
Tickets to Sinners and more details are available at Metro Theatre.
