THEATRE UNDER THE STARS
Odyssey Theatre’s 2012 season of Theatre Under the Stars sees a revival of an ancient favourite. Classic 18th-century comedy The Game of Love and Chance will delight audiences with its wit and physicality. It tells the story of two aristocrats, set up by their parents, who both disguise themselves as servants to size each other up before agreeing to marriage. Thursday, July 26, until Sunday, Aug. 26. $24, students and seniors $19, children $9. Pay-what-you-can matinees on Saturdays and Sundays. Strathcona Park, Laurier Ave. at Range Rd., www.odysseytheatre.ca.
