The 2008 Second Stage and Mainstage Special Events offer a unique opportunity for sponsorship. These special events are welcome and well-attended dates within the Ship’s Company Theatre 2008 season line-up.

An Evening with Uncle Val, a funny, introspective piece by Newfoundland’s’ native gem, writer, actor, and comedian Andy Jones, will play from July 31 to August 2nd.

Underneath the Lintel by Glenn Berger, directed by Ship’s Company co-founder and former co-Artistic Director, Mary Vingoe, will feature award-winning writer and actor Christian Murray in a remarkable one-man performance. This amusing and intriguing story will be offered in matinees for area students, as well as in evening performances for the public, from September 10th until September 14th, 2008.
