In 1960s Montreal, housewife Germaine Lauzon has collected one million Gold Star stamps, but she needs a little help to assemble her treasure before they can be traded in for household goods. As Germaine’s friends and neighbours gather for a stamp-sticking party, the gloves come off, and the truth comes out!

The perfidy of men, the joy of bingo, and of course, the church – no topic proves taboo for the assembled women who dish with abandon. But as conversations heat up, another cardinal sin is taking place that will tear the neighbourhood apart. Raucous, reckless, and hysterically funny, this windfall of humour, dreams, and heart is sure to pay off!

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the premiere of the Canadian classic Les Belles-soeurs. And Gateway is delighted to have

Special performances include a tea matinée on Tuesday, October 2nd, a post-show talkback on Thursday, October 4th, and more.
