First Night by Jack Neary

Back for the holidays because YOU DEMANDED IT!

New Year's Eve. 1995. Thirty years ago Danny Flemming and Meredith O’Connor were 14 years old, in eight grade… and secretly crushing on each other. They haven’t seen each other since. Danny grew up to become a video store clerk, lonely and cynical. Meredith became a nun and a gifted bowler. When they reconnect on New Year’s Eve will the ancient embers of their childhood crushes reignite – or is it too late for them to rekindle what never was?

FIRST NIGHT by Jack Neary is a tender, sweet, yet acidly incisive romantic comedy that's perfect for the holidays! You'll leave the theatre feeling warm, remembering the crushes and happy loves of your youth, and dreaming about living it all over again.

As an added bonus, $5 from every ticket sold to First Night will be donated to Abode Respite Services – a Windsor-based non-profit that helps people with disabilities live with greater independence, freedom, and dignity.
