The 2009 season will be B2B’s 10th year in Oceanside – our first season was in 2000 with the bold choice of Company by Stephen Sondheim as the feature production. Over the past nine years, Bard to Broadway has consistently provided high-quality productions to the Oceanside community and its visitors and continues to a be a stepping-stone to performers and production crew keen to be involved in the theatre and entertainment business.
The 2009 season with another four sensational productions begins on July 4, 2009 and runs through to September 5, 2009 in the Chrysler Theatre in the Parksville Community & Conference Centre, 132 Jensen Avenue East, Parksville, B.C..

Here’s a synopsis of our 2009 productions, just to wet your appetite:
Oliver!
Charles Dickens’ charming story of the poor little orphan, headed for no good, who comes up with a happy ending, is the plot of Oliver! Memorable songs include Food, Glorious Food, I’d do Anything, Where is Love?, Consider Yourself, As Long As He Needs Me, and Who Will Buy?
The sad-happy ending, on London Bridge
shortly before midnight, sees Oliver headed for a happy
future. His recent comrades-in-arms are fed, and Fagin’s
a changed man. A great
version of a much loved tale and an evening of splendid
entertainment for everyone.
Written by Murray Chapman, music and lyrics by Lionel Bart.
Glorious!
Iis the true story
of Florence Foster Jenkins
(1868-1944), the worst
singer in the world. Known
as the “first lady of the
sliding scale”, Florence
was a gregarious socialite
who became a must-see
performer in the 1940’s.
Gloriously bad and
lunatically funny, the play
chronicles her rise to the
pinnacle of a sold-out
Carnegie Hall. Convinced
she had the operatic voice
of an angel, Ms Jenkins’ joy and enthusiasm made up for
the fact that she couldn’t hit a single note, not a single
note!
Written by Peter Quilter.
The Foreigner
Is a farcical production set at a rural Georgia fishing lodge that centers on Charlie Baker, a shy and unobtrusive Englishman who tends to be socially anxious. While at the Georgia lodge, he pretends to not know his native language in order to avoid contact with the other guests. Successfully convincing them that he cannot understand them, he becomes privy to information that is both comical and threatening to the characters in the play.
Written by Larry Shue.
Little Shop of Horrors
Is one of the longest-running Off- Broadway shows of all time. This affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a household name. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Little Shop of Horrors never fails to entertain. A nerdish florist finds his chance for success and romance with the help of a giant man-eating, exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. This horticultural horror will have audiences screaming with laughter.
Book and lyrics by Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken.
