Oppportunity Knocks

The play, a comedy in two acts, is set in a charity run opportunity shop. The three lady volunteers who work in the shop should be middle aged or older. The men may be of any age, although Wally would be of pension age, and Marty is younger than the other two.

Upstairs, over the shop (Off stage.) Live two younger women, Madge and Carol.

The dissimilar values and attitudes of the two very different lots of tenants, upstairs and downstairs, and the stream of weird and wonderful customers coming and going through the Opp Shop, create some very funny situations.

If you’ve never been to an Opp Shop, you should make a field trip, you never know just what you might find, when.......

Opportunity Knocks will go down as one of our most successful shows. Thank you for a very clever, sharp and hilarious script.

All of us at Great Lakes Dramatic Society (GLADS) are very excited with the results of our latest production, your comedy, 'Opportunity Knocks' , and want to let you know just how successful this production has been - in fact we have experienced 'sell out' performances with all of your plays staged by our group over the past eight years

We had tremendous fun with this one. And it was very financially successful for us as well.
Many thanks
