Halfway There

A Laugh-A-Minute Comedy

June 4 to June 22, 2025

By Norm Foster

Buy Tickets

There’s no such thing as a secret in Stewiacke, Nova Scotia – especially when four female best friends meet for coffee every day at the local diner to share gossip, romance, bawdy tales, and the true meaning of life.

When Sean, a heartbroken doctor from Toronto, takes a temporary job at the clinic and becomes interested in local waitress Janine, the Maritime town that’s best known for being the halfway point between the Equator and North Pole is tipped off its axis. What follows is a month of lessons learned for all, through hilarity, tears, and the unshakeable bonds of friendship.

Norm Foster, Canada’s favourite playwright, has another hit on his hands with his raucously funny comedy about the messiness of love.  

Recommended for ages 13 and up.  

Running Time: 2 hours and 10 minutes, including 20 minute intermission.

What a fun afternoon we had. We laughed from start to finish. The 5 actor team did a fabulous job presenting this Norm Foster play. Would highly recommend getting tickets to this production. Another fantastic Drayton Entertainment production.

Both my husband and I loved the production - let me correct that included all the people seated around us loved the production. We all suddenly became one group laughing and guffawing at the same times and looking at each other nodding yes! Thank you to Norm Foster for the excellent writing. Kudos to the Director, Design teams, Stage Manager. Especially thankyou to the actors who welcomed us into their lives for a couple of hours of delight. That is one of the fastest of standing ovations I have seen in some time. Well done all around.

Truly a 5 Star rating of this production of Norm Foster's clever, witty and poignant writing of Halfway There. The acting is excellent. The directing made us feel that we were right there as part of the conversation in the diner. An afternoon well spent.

 In a cheerful diner setting, two characters engage in conversation at the front counter.

 Four characters gather around a small diner table in a warmly lit scene. A seated older character gestures with both hands as if explaining something with urgency. The three others—one standing and two seated—listen intently, each with varied expressions of concern and curiosity. The setting is a retro diner with teal walls, a glass door marked “Open,” and signage reading “Junior’s” in the background. Coffee mugs and a napkin dispenser rest on the table, adding to the casual, lived-in feel

 A moment of joy unfolds in a warmly lit diner as two characters dance playfully at centre stage, holding hands and smiling at each other. Three others watch from opposite sides of the stage—two seated women laugh and clap in delight on the left, while another character in a colourful dress looks on fondly from the right. The set features retro diner furnishings, teal walls, large windows, and a welcoming atmosphere.

 Five characters are seated around a table in a cozy diner setting. One person dramatically rolls their eyes with a comical expression while the others react with amusement or surprise. The backdrop includes brick walls, framed photographs, and shelves filled with preserves and books, creating a warm, lived-in atmosphere. A slice of pie is held mid-bite by the person on the far right, adding to the lighthearted tone of the scene.
