A drumroll please - Introducing, our 30th Anniversary Season Playbill:

‍

To welcome you back in September, our Add-On Presentation will be Whiskey Jack presents Stories & Songs of Stompin' Tom.

Coming to us from September 15th - 17th, 2023, tickets for this show will be available at a discount to subscribers. Call in to get your discount!

Show Description:

Stompin’ Tom became a fan of Whiskey Jack during their tenure as regulars on the CBC’s Tommy Hunter Show. Each week, Tom would join millions of his fellow Canadians and watch them sing, play and laugh on their own segment, “The Old Back Porch”. What followed was a 25 year friendship and musical collaboration with Tom that produced many recordings, cross-country tours, and all night kitchen parties in his home. They even co-wrote some songs together.

“All of our shows feature a mix of Tom’s greatest hits combined with many outrageous, yet true, backstage stories of our time with Tom. This is a show that will entertain fans of all musical genres. We guarantee everyone will leave the theatre with a smile on their face and a spring to their step.” Says Duncan Fremlin – frontman of Whiskey Jack.

Mary and Michael have some issues.

Things just aren’t turning out quite the way they’d planned, and the view from here isn’t exactly the view they had been expecting to see.

Weddings and funerals, unscheduled renovations, Guinness and date nights, the foibles of intimacy after a certain age … it all adds up to seeing the world in a very different, and often very hilarious way!
