Christmas farce
It’s Christmas Eve and Claire is trying to make a meal to welcome the new vicar. But a series of unfortunate events disrupts the party, including an attempted burglary. That’s the plot of the farce Happy Hollandaise, a play by Tim Koenig that’s being mounted by Coquitlam’s Dogwood Drama Club. The production marks the directorial debut for Jean Baker, a longtime member of the 50-plus theatrical troupe that will present the show at the Dogwood Pavilion (1655 Winslow Ave., Coquitlam) from Dec. 10 to 12 at 1:30 p.m. in the Mike Butler Room. Tickets at $10 can be bought at the door, from club members or from the Dogwood Designs gift shop at the pavilion.
