This year's show will also be a fundraiser!

There will be food, drinks, door prizes, a silent auction, a raffle and much, much more.

The evening kicks off at 7pm and continues with the show at 8pm. After the show we will have our raffle and more. Stay for the party after the show as well.

Guest speakers include: Jason Rockman from Montreal radio station Chom FM, Walter Massey from the 90's TV show Lassie, Jane Needles: Executive Director of the Quebec Drama Federation

So come see a great show and support a worthy cause all while having a great evening of fun and entertainment!!

                                                                 Twelfth Night...

Shipwrecked and fearing her twin brother dead, Viola is swept onto the shores of Illyria: A mystical Persian land inhabited by melancholy sultans, frenzied genies and discombobulated pirates. 

Disguising herself as a boy, Viola takes a post in the Sultan’s lush harem and, on his behalf, attempts to woo his loved one, the Lady Olivia.

Lady Olivia however, has her own agenda, and will not rest until she has Viola (who she believes to be a man) as her love. Mistaken identity, mistaken love and the uncontrollable power of desire are what make Twelfth Night a hilarious romp that has touched audiences for centuries.
