There is no doubt that the last two years have been difficult, but at Theatre Collingwood we are looking to the future and planning for a fantastic 2022, packed with great entertainment just for you! As a matter of fact, we are going to start in February with a wonderful cabaret you can enjoy online. This is going to be a really great way to celebrate the Month of Love.

TV appearances include: The Strain, Anne with an “E”, Murdoch Mysteries, and Rick Mercer Reports. He is also well known for his cartoon voices which include: MAX, Total Drama Island; and Sir Topham Hat on Thomas & Friends. His solo jazz recordings are available on Apple Music and Spotify.

Bruce will be accompanied by the talented Mark Selby, who is often found at the piano as a musical director and accompanist for cabarets, shows, auditions, and workshops. As a TV producer Mark's latest project, the documentary Oscar Peterson: Black + White, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
