• Beneath Springhill

Created and Performed by Beau Dixon
Lyrics and Music by Rob Fortin and Susan Newman
Directed and Developed by Linda Kash

This is a powerful story of a Canadian hero, told through song like never before. Beneath Springhill is the incredible story of Maurice Ruddick, “the singing miner,” an African-Canadian who survived nine days underground during the historic Springhill mining disaster of 1958. This multi-award-winning one-man show recalls the events during the disaster, the effect it had on the rural Canadian community, and the racial tension that grew from it. The play is a celebration of hope, courage and community.

Created and performed by multi-award winning playwright, actor and composer Beau Dixon, this is a performance you won’t want to miss. 

Tuesday - Saturday Evenings at 8:00pm
Saturday Matinée at 2:00pm

• Carolyn Taylor & Beneath Springhill: Live at the Eddie

written by Carolyn Taylor, Zach Russell & Elvira Kurt

Canadian Comedy legends Carolyn Taylor (Baroness Von Sketch Show) and Elvira Kurt (Ellen DeGeneres HBO Special/The Tonight Show) star in a hysterical night of revelry under the stars at the picturesque Eddie Hotel and Farm. 

Weaving acrobatically between sketch, stand-up and simulated Olympic figure skating, Taylor and Kurt will dazzle audiences with the comic equivalent of a triple lutz!

 Get Ready to Laugh. Out. Loud.

Written and Performed by Mark Crawford
Directed by Miles Potter

When big city radio host Charlie King is forced to take a job managing a small-town station, he has no idea what’s in store! Not only does a pandemic begin his first week in Port Belette, but he quickly finds himself chasing a story of municipal corruption. From playwright and actor Mark Crawford comes a hilarious one-man comedy about a down-on-his-luck DJ, a local lottery, and the search for truth in these unprecedented times.
