Ed’s Garage tells the story of a farmer, two mechanics and a therapist from the big city and their adventures in small-town Ontario. Ed, a former farmer, mechanic/ social event planner/ on-the-side therapist is a busy man: he must deal with finding stolen property, fix a catalytic converter and conduct a therapy session, all before lunch. When Peter, a local farmer, mistakenly goes to Ed for his court-ordered anger management session, Cassandra, a therapist who is new in town, is justifiably upset. But after spending a few short hours with Ed, Peter, and another mechanic named Nick, Cassandra and Ed decide to jointly treat Peter, all the while getting into hilarious small-town hi-jinks.

Auditions will be cold readings; script scenes will be provided at the auditions.
