My Invisible Friend
Auditions are being held on Nov 25th and 27th from 6pm-8pm in the Upper Performance Centre for the upcoming family show production of My Invisible Friend. Written by Cynthia Myers, directed by Mindy Vinqvist-Tymchuk, this show will be performed SATURDAYS AT 11AM AND 2PM on FEBRUARY 7, 14, 21, 2026.
SYNOPSIS: Nora is…well, different. She doesn’t fit in, and she doesn’t hang out which makes her perfect target. It’s hard to make friends when you are the bull’s-eye of every practical joke in school - other people avoid her, just out of self-preservation. Nora is lonely; so lonely she invents a friend named, Indigo. Everything changes, as life does when you have a real friend, and for the first time Nora is happy. Until people start to notice Nora talking to herself, lots of people, including the school counselor Mr. Little.
