Drury Lane Awards Night

Nice Work If You Can Get It ... is a new take on the 1920s musical farce featuring the iconic music of George and Ira Gershwin. The show has won multiple Tony Awards and Drama Desk Awards. Billie Bendix, a tough-as-nails bootlegger, and wealthy playboy Jimmy Winter, meet on the weekend of his impending wedding. Needing somewhere to stash 400 bottles of gin, Billie swipes Jimmy’s wallet and hides her stash in his empty Long Island beach house. However, when the wedding party arrives at the beach house, the bootleggers must juggle the guests and their business. Nice Work If You Can Get It is a definite crowd-pleaser that will have audiences singing along in the aisles. Dig out your flapper dresses, headbands and Gatsby shoes and join the Cast in this Roaring 20’s ‘Girls, Glamour, Gershwin’ musical. “Who Could Ask For Anything More?”

Drury Lane Benefit Performances for 2025-2026

Announcing  our 45th Annual Music Hall Cast

 On Monday, September 1, 2025, Drury Lane lost another strong member. Heather passed away after a long 2-year battle of cancer. Heather not only leaves behind a loving mother, husband and family of 6 children with 7 grandchildren, but also her theatrical family. She leaves behind hundreds of friends from Mississauga Players, Theatre Etobicoke, TAPCT (The Absolute Port Credit Troupers), NOMADS and Drury Lane. Heather’s physical and emotional love was shared with hundreds of people over the years and Drury Lane was blessed with this love over the past 8 years. This was shown when she won the award for best production of 2024-25. This was because she brought together a team of individuals who loved being together and made a production where everyone wanted to be there. That love and leadership will be hard to create again. She will not only be missed by her personal family, but also her theatrical family. We have not only lost a great person, but we have lost a valuable friend. She will be a part of all our lives forever. A Celebration of Life will take place on Monday, October 13, 2025, at the Polish Banquet Hall, 2316 Fairview Street, Burlington, On L7R 2E4. Time: 11:00 am until 4:00 pm. Please come and share in this celebration - we look forward to seeing you. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been set up for donations to support Pets and their families – email any donations to HeatherMemorial2025@gmail.com .
