Those Movies |
Written by Norm Foster Directed by Jesse Collins
When Harry asks his pal Patrick to accompany his coworker Millie and her visiting cousin Chelsea for a blind date, Patrick reluctantly agrees. But as the night unfolds, wires get crossed and false assumptions between Patrick and Chelsea spiral into a comical miscue. And the comedy rolls out from there. Those Movies affectionately spoofs and celebrates the tried-and-true romantic comedy formula that movie fans know so well, as the story zigs and zags its way through a maze of mixups, mayhem, and misunderstandings. Foster's spot-on dialogue, richly drawn characters, and impeccable comic timing are on full display. |

Between Two Worlds - An Evening of Mediumship with Andy Byng |
World renowned medium Andy Byng has been delivering messages from the spirit world for the last 20 years, and his gift has taken him around the globe. Featured in the recent Netflix Documentary Surviving Death, Andy has been tested by several scientists; works for some of the most respected institutions for mediumship, including the Arthur Findlay College, the world-renowned school for the development of mediumship and the psychic arts where he is a tutor; and has worked alongside some of the most respected mediums of our time.
Originally hailing from England, Andy now resides in Canada and is embarking on a national tour, Between Two Worlds. As part of this tour we are excited to welcome Andy to the Orillia Opera House, where he will be demonstrating his own unique style of mediumship, and his belief that those who have passed away can communicate with their loved ones. In Andy's words: "A good Evening of Mediumship will move the whole audience. Through the use of factual pieces of information, it is the medium's job to tell the story of how the audience member's loved ones in the spirit world lived and expressed themselves during their physical lives. For me, there is nothing quite like it "laughter, joy and sometimes tears of sadness, it shows us that our loved ones who have passed away are still human, that they have not changed but are the same people, who still love us and are only but a thought away" Experience Andy's gift here. |

Fans of Monty Python, Mr. Bean, and Dr. Seuss… Grab your teacups!
Combining British propriety with an unabashed love for the unexpected, London’s 3-time Impresario Award-winning duo steep an outrageously funny and brilliantly inventive show reminiscent of classic British pantos.
Rich in wordplay, comic physicality, and cleverly crafted interactive elements, O Christmas Tea is uproarious fun, yet it is the duo’s boundless imagination and endearing chemistry that provide the real magic and heart of this play.
When catastrophe strikes at James and Jamesy’s Christmas tea party, flooding the world with tea, the duo conjure wildly funny solutions to stay afloat, and sweep the audience out to sea in a jolly aquatic escapade brimming with whimsy, action, and ingenuity in a celebration of friendship at Christmas.
“Complete and utter fun… for all ages.” ★★★★★ CBC
“Outrageously funny, magnificently written, beautifully choreographed.” ★★★★★ London Free Press
“An ode to the idea that anything is possible.” ★★★★★ Torontoist
“I cannot think of a show that will leave you more profoundly happy than this.” ★★★★★ Stage Door
Hailed as “a child’s imagination on steroids” by London Free Press and “a masterpiece of physical comedy” by Theatre In London, critics rave for the charismatic James & Jamesy. A must-see performance on the international comedy circuit, this unstoppable duo is regarded as “one of the most popular fringe duos ever” (CBC). |

Murray McLauchlan - Hourglass |
Murray McLauchlan is one of Canada’s most highly regarded singer/songwriters, and with good cause. Over a 50-year career, he has released 20 albums and been awarded 11 Junos. His songs Farmer’s Song, Down by the Henry Moore, Whispering Rain and Sweeping the Spotlight Away are now considered Canadian standards. Murray is also a painter, an author, an actor, a radio host; he's been bestowed an Honourary Doctor of Laws and appointed to The Order of Canada. That’s quite a ride. For many years Murray’s touring had been restricted to Lunch At Allen's, whose members also include Ian Thomas, Marc Jordan and Cindy Church. But with the release of his critically acclaimed Hourglass, he’s back on the road treating concert goers to a seamless blend of old and new.
Here’s what he has to say: “As a songwriter I know that it's not enough to sit in your kitchen and write. Your songs need to be heard. Music is a communicative art and if it isn't brought in front of people there is no way to tell if that end has been met. I like to think of a concert tour as a kind of roving gallery to test your art and your ideas. I try to do my very best to make it worthwhile for folks to be there and to perhaps look at things in a new way when they leave.” And this, in a nutshell, is the Murray McLauchlan concert experience.
" It might have been a large theatre but it felt like a group of friends sitting in a living room listening to tales from the son who hit the road to share his music ... special, memorable, warm and, quite simply, Murray McLauchlan at his best." - Kamloops This Week |
