Enamored lovers Peter and Rita immediately fall for each other, and on their wedding day, a mysterious old man insists on kissing the bride. While honeymooning, Peter gradually realizes that the woman by his side is not his wife. By some cruel twist of fate, the wedding day kiss caused Rita’s and the old man’s souls to change places. Peter must track down the old man and free his young love’s spirit that is trapped in an ageing and diseased body before it’s too late.

About Our Host: Ladysmith Community Fund Society
Founded in 2020, the Ladysmith Community Fund Society (LCFS) was created to establish a perpetual endowment fund dedicated to supporting the Ladysmith community. In partnership with the Nanaimo Foundation, LCFS manages a growing fund that provides annual grants to local charities through investment earnings.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, grants have been distributed to local organizations over the past three years — with the goal of building a lasting legacy of support for Ladysmith. Donations and bequests help grow the fund to ensure long-term impact for our community.
LCFS gratefully acknowledges that its work takes place on the traditional territory of the Stz’uminus First Nation.

About Our Host: Ladysmith Little Theatre
The Ladysmith Little Theatre is a true community cultural hub built on vision, volunteerism, and heart. Founded in 2003 by Judi and Terry Whittaker, the theatre transformed the historic Diamond Crossing School (built in 1912) into the vibrant performance space it is today.
From its early renovations completed by dedicated volunteers in just six weeks, to purchasing the building in 2012, Ladysmith Little Theatre has grown through the passion and commitment of its members. Every production is powered entirely by volunteers — actors, crew, set designers, technicians, and front-of-house teams — all working together to provide quality, accessible theatre for Ladysmith and surrounding communities.
With ongoing upgrades, wheelchair accessibility improvements, and a beautiful exterior mural, the theatre continues to thrive as a welcoming space where creativity and community come together.
