but have a starring role in his own play, Here on the Flight Path , when it opens in the Gazebo Room of the Princess Hotel tonight.

Since Ontario-born Mr. Foster first began writing plays in his 30s, his output has been prolific. In 1998 alone, four new plays opened, including A Foggy Day , a musical collaboration piece which became the hit of the 1998 Shaw Festival Season.

Among his many works, The Melville Boys received the 1W988 Los Angeles Critics Dramalogue Award. In Bermuda, his play Wrong for Each Other , starring Helen Coffey and Nick Moore, earned rave reviews during its run in the Gazebo Room earlier this year.

Sharing tonight's stage with Mr. Foster will be his wife, Janet Monid.

Originally from Brantford, Ontario, she studied theatre at the University of Waterloo, and has performed at various theatres throughout Canada. For the past six years Miss Monid has been adjudicating the New Brunswick Drama Festival, and for two years was an organiser of Theatre New Brunswick's Brave New Words series of workshop productions featuring new plays from the Atlantic region.

In 2000, Miss Monid will be seen in a new CBC-TV series, Daring and Grace.

The couple make their home in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and have two children.

Producing Here on the Flight Path is Judy Taylor, while the play is under the auspices of J & B Productions.

While in Bermuda, Miss Monid will also hold a master acting workshop on September 13 and 14 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Gazebo Room at a cost of $40 for both nights. Interested persons should call Mrs. Carol Birch at 238-0483 to reserve a place.

In addition to tonight's performance, Here on the Flight Path will be staged on September 10, 11, 16, 17 and 18. Tickets for the play only are $25, and for the dinner/theatre package the cost is $60 per person. To reserve either option telephone the Princess Hotel's concierge at 295-3000. Doors open at 8.30 p.m., with a prompt 9 p.m. start.
