KAWARTHA LAKES-Globus Theatre kicked off their season with the Canadian Premiere of Desperate to be Doris on May 29th.
This uplifting and comedic production originally toured in the UK and features songs from the iconic Doris Day.
By day, Dean is an ordinary worker in a pajama factory, but by night he is a singing sensation performing Doris Day songs to his…empty living room? But when his operatic society decides to stage Calamity Jane, Dean realizes it could be his big break. A humourous tale of self-discovery and courage, Desperate to be Doris demonstrates the power of following your dreams.
Desperate to be Doris stars former Degrassi actor, Ephraim Ellis, as Dean. Joining him on stage as a variety of hilarious characters are two familiar faces to Globus’ audiences – Elana Post (The Ladies Foursome and Hurry Hard), and Globus’s own Artistic Director, Sarah Quick.Â
