This fall theatreâ€"goers will be doubled over in laughter as the Canadian hit comedy Dads: The Musical takes centre stage at the intimate Schoolhouse Theatre in St. Jacobs. The joys of fatherhood are lovingly porâ€" trayed in this delightful musical comedy that follows the trials and tribulations of three archetypal men: a neurotic Latin teacher, a slick executive and a blueâ€"collar hunk, who share a common bond as firstâ€"time dads. When the men suddenly find themselves thrust into the unfamiliar role of "houseâ€"husâ€" band" and are forced to take over the nursery while their wives go to work, the dads try to deal with role reversal in the new millennium as their singular chore of taking out the trash is replaced with clearing up diaper rash. Presented in a number of sideâ€"splitting vignettes, no subject is off limits. From boisâ€" terous songs about stinky diapers, to confesâ€" sionals about dwindled love lives and feelings of inadequacy, the comical anecdotes in this play cover everything from testosterone to teething.
