🌈 We’re off to see the Wizard!

Our talented Young Company had their first day of rehearsals yesterday for *The Wizard of Oz*, adapted and directed by Marcus Lundgren!

When a tornado drops Dorothy and Toto into the colourful land of Oz, she joins a brain-seeking Scarecrow, a heart-hunting Tin Man and a courage-challenged Lion on a journey to meet the Wizard—all while trying to avoid one very grumpy green witch with a serious shoe obsession.

*The Wizard of Oz* is on stage at Lighthouse Theatre in Port Dover from August 19 to 22.

🎟️ Tickets are just $17 each or $60 for a group of four! Visit lighthousetheatre.com or call the Box Office at 888-779-7703.

🕵️ ONE DAY TO GO! 🍝

Secret Service hits the stage tomorrow at Roselawn Theatre in Port Colborne, and this mission is anything but under control!

When undercover agents launch a sting operation inside Toronto’s most exclusive Italian restaurant, they encounter suspicious accents, secret identities and one completely clueless rookie waiter. It’s Mission: Impossible meets slapstick, with espionage, mistaken identities and a generous helping of linguini!

Written by Ephraim Ellis and directed by David Leyshon, Secret Service stars Cooper Bilton, Janelle Hanna, Lisa Norton, Stephen Sparks and Robbie Towns.

A huge thank-you to Jason Smith Funeral Chapel in Simcoe for lending us the casket—and for helping us prepare a special surprise for our opening night patrons! We’re dying for you to see it. 🪷

It was a busy weekend in Port Dover and Port Colborne as we turned over the sets for Secret Service and Liars at a Funeral. As the set was taken down in Port Dover and moved down to Port Colborne, the set for Liars at a Funeral went up in Port Dover. A very busy long weekend for our crew, and we are very excited to share both of these shows with you starting this week!
