In this hilarious play, written by Peter Paylor, the Rosewood Art Society is holding a board meeting, rehashing the same old topics, until the issue of artistic censorship comes to their attention. When the town wants to ban nude paintings, the Society must find a way to work together for freedom in art.

If you've ever participated in a boring committee meeting, you'll be amused by the characters in this play, each with their own foibles and pet peeves.

This play features many seasoned theatre veterans, such as Pat Marshall as Alice, who is the curmudgeonly complainer, and who may or may not be the town prude, Neil Matheson as Walter, who bores everybody about Winston Churchill paintings and his hippy days in Squamish, BC, and Lisa Leroux, who is in love with Walter.

Other cast members are Will Wright, Sherry Leeder, and Joanne Riddell.
