All Don wants is a place of his own away from his over-protective mother. Don has had a disability since birth, but that doesn’t stop him from setting up in a Manhattan apartment. Will his mother let him go? Will she help? He has escaped his mother who believes that he isn’t capable of living on his own. He goes on to make the acquaintance of his off the wall, liberated, actress neighbour Jill who is as wild and as pretty as a butterfly flitting from experience to experience, sipping and moving on. He learns the kind of things from Jill that his mother would never have taught him. In return Jill learns from Don what growing up and being free is really all about. Will Don’s courage pull himself out the mire of self-pity to emerge stronger and more self reliant? He revels in her vitality while she draws strength from his sensitivity.
Butterflies is a warm, optimistic very funny comedy. It’s a show that leaves audiences glowing, laughing and ready to face tomorrow.

What happens when the badminton club, brownies, table tennis club, panto auditions and an illustrated talk on steam locomotives are all booked into the church hall at the same time on the same night? Chaos at first followed by everyone auditioning for the panto is the answer! Over the weeks of rehearsal liaisons are formed and egos are destroyed as the cast battle against the odds and each other as opening night looms. That sounds quite familiar!
