Glory Days: The Troubadours at The Troubadour

By Chris McHarge

July 7 to 11, 2026

Through music and storytelling, Glory Days celebrates the artists who first found their voices on the open mic nights of Hollywood’s legendary Troubadour Club. Featuring songs made famous by the Eagles, Elton John, Billy Joel, Carole King, Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, and many others, the production highlights the musicians whose work has shaped the soundtrack of our lives. 

Written and directed by Chris McHarge—former Artistic Director at Lighthouse Festival (Port Dover), Theatre Aquarius (Hamilton), and the Grand Theatre (Fergus), and founder of the Brave New Works play-reading series—Glory Days pays tribute to the passion, resilience, and enduring influence of some of the greatest songwriters in music history. 

Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie

by Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom

July 24 to July 30, 2026

Based on the book by Mitch Albom

Tuesdays with Morrie tells the autobiographical story of Mitch Albom, a successful journalist consumed by his career, and his former college professor, Morrie Schwartz. 

Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch sees Morrie featured on a television news program and discovers that his beloved mentor is battling Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). 

Reunited after years apart, Mitch begins what he expects to be a brief visit. Instead, it becomes a weekly ritual - an intimate series of conversations that evolve into Morrie's final, most profound class: a lesson in what it truly means to live.

The Last Five Years

Written and Composed by Jason Robert Brown

The Last Five Years is an intimate, deeply moving musical that explores the rise and fall of a five-year relationship between Jamie, an ambitious novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress.

Featuring an emotionally rich score by Tony Award winning composer Jason Robert Brown, this contemporary musical is a raw, honest, and beautifully crafted portrait of love, ambition, and the moments that shape our lives. With its powerful music and inventive storytelling, The Last Five Years has become a modern classic, resonating with audiences around the world.
