Thorold Theatre is casting 7 actors for its fall production of Dry Streak, a wildly funny Canadian comedy by Saskatchewan playwright Leeann Minogue, directed by Wendy Cullen-Mackie.

Set during the scorching summer of 1988, Dry Streak takes audiences into the heart of a small prairie farming community where the rain has stopped, the crops are failing, and everyone has an opinion.

The Richards family has worked the same farm for generations. When son John returns home with his new girlfriend Kate, the family discovers that she is unlike anyone the town has encountered before: a punk-rock-loving, vegetarian city girl who has no particular interest in getting married.

Then, desperate for rain, Kate makes a reckless promise.

What follows is a comic collision of family expectations, small-town gossip, generational differences, personal belief and the increasingly uncomfortable realization that sometimes a private promise can become very, very public.

Dry Streak is a sharp, affectionate comedy about family, faith, farming and the pressures of small-town life — and what happens when everyone knows your business.

I have a full-time job and a pension. I don't have any assets and my credit rating is enough to support a couple credit cards and not much else.

My elderly mother who lives with my brother has cosigned his mortgage and now in preparing her affairs has asked me and my sister if one of us would cosign on the mortgage. Her reasoning is that her consumer debt at about $30,000 would revert to my brother upon her passing and she wants to avoid this.

My sister has recently moved in a long time boyfriend to the house she owns. Her boyfriend liquidated and they have a great little retirement going. They don't seem to be interested in signing.

I don't know anything about mortgages having never owned a house but I understand that the mortgage would tie up my credit, limiting options in the future.

I don't really want to sign. What can I say to my brother that indicates I am unable to do so? What reason can I give?

Thank you.
