Escape the dreary winter weather in sunny Northlamburton County, where Village Players welcomes you with Toronto playwright Ephraim Ellis’s On The Air, directed by Abby Craig and Jennifer Monteith. The show opens  Friday, January 9, and runs to the end of the month. This warm-hearted romantic comedy is sure to brighten up the dark days of winter!

Take a trip to Cottage Country where CJLN ‘The Loon’ is the fourth most popular local radio station in South-South-East Northlamburton county, with only one problem… no one is listening. Station manager Alice Kerwin has her hands full dealing with insubordinate interns and egotistical DJs – but then the former station manager’s son, Matt, returns to town with a plan to revitalize the station for the modern era… and change everything.

Will Matt be able to help Alice drag ‘The Loon’ kicking and screaming into the 21st century without losing what makes it a charming and quirky local broadcaster? Will Matt be able to reconcile with his estranged uncle Art, ‘The Loon’s’ biggest donor (and loudest DJ)? And will Matt and Alice finally admit they’ve had a crush on each other since high school?

On The Air is a comedy about family, ambition, rock and roll, and dreams pursued in the unlikeliest of places.
