Directed by Theatre Orangeville Artistic Director Jennifer Stewart, Common Ground explores what happens when long-standing relationships suddenly fall apart – and what can grow in their place. “I think Jake is more sophisticated than might meet the eye from the start,” Mac said. “It’s a bit of a fishbowl, so the stakes are extremely high.”Despite those tensions, Stewart emphasized that Common Ground remains firmly a comedy. We can never give up.”Common Ground premieres Feb. 6 at Theatre Orangeville, promising laughs, romance and a nostalgic trip back to the 1980s.
