OPAL'S MILLION DOLLAR DUCK

Central Alberta Theatre closes the season with comedic caper

Feb 25, 2025 | 4:58 PM

If you’re looking for laughter, charm and small town mischief, look no further than Central Alberta Theatre’s newest production, Opal’s Million Dollar Duck.

Written by John Patrick, the CAT season closer follows Desmond and Queenie, two struggling summer-stock actors who find an old painting in an antique shop and hatch a scheme to retrieve it. The painting resembles a missing masterpiece with a hefty reward, but the shop owner has no interest in selling.

Enjoy deception, disguises and outrageous antics as the two embark on a comedic rollercoaster.

Susan Dearing, Director, shared her favourite quote from the play: “Things alluz work out-even ef it does take a hundred an’ five years, six months, three days an’ twenty minutes.”

Catch the show at 7:30 p.m. on March 7, 8, and 13-15 and at 1 p.m. on March 9 and 16.
