Almost, Maine
at 8:00pm
Lindsay Little Theatre - Lindsay, Ontario

Directed by Seamus McCann & Jesse Perrotta

The story: On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal and the hearts mend - almost - in this delightful winter play.

Cast ~ Anthony Jackson, Lisa McCann, Seamus McCann, Shannon Moore, Jesse Perrotta, Rob Powell, Rebecca Riley, Mike Roberts & Miranda Warren

Harry Manx
Starting at 8 pm
Located at The Lindsay Academy Theatre

Harry Manx speaks to the soul with his calm spirituality and distinctive sound. Dubbed the essential link between the music of East and West, he is a master of the musical short story that seamlessly weds the tradition of the 'earthly' American Blues with the depth of classical 'heavenly' Indian ragas.

From an early age, Manx was on the road ... as a sound man in the blues clubs of Toronto, busking on street corners from Brazil to Japan, studying meditation and music in India ... and all these influences shine through in his music. A dedicated performer, Manx has put out nine CDs in eight years, garnered a serious stack of awards and toured extensively across Canada, the US, Australia and Europe, playing in soft seat theatres, prestigious festivals and first-rate blues clubs.

A modern day troubadour, Manx sings with an intimate, quiet warmth that makes his shows mesmerizing. The subtle interplay between the haunting notes of the sitar and the gentle, rhythmic groove of the blues gives his songs a beautiful sensuality that defies comparison.

"Watching Harry play tonight I feel like I learned something new..." - Bruce Springsteen (after seeing Harry perform "I'm On Fire" at the International Guitar Festival in NYC)

"A modern day troubadour, Canadian-born Manx sings with an intimate, quiet warmth that makes his shows mesmerizing. The subtle interplay between the haunting notes of the sitar and the gentle, rhythmic groove of the blues gives his songs a beautiful sensuality that defies comparison." - Eugene Weekly

"Canada's most versatile and expressive blues player" - Billboard Magazine For more info, pics, audio and video clips,

Benefit Concert for Free the Children
at 7pm
Academy Theatre - Lindsay, Ontario

This concert features some of the best young entertainment that Lindsay has to offer, all coming together to raise money for a great cause! You will hear a wide variety of music… from jazz, to pop, to rock, to music theatre, to country… there is sure to be something for everyone! Come out and enjoy a great evening of music, while supporting the Free The Children organization.

Free The Children believes in a world where all young people are free to achieve their fullest potential as agents of change. We are a charity and educational partner that empowers youth to remove barriers that prevent them from being active local and global citizens. Our domestic programs educate, engage and empower hundreds of thousands of youth in North America and the UK. Our international projects, led by our holistic and sustainable Adopt a Village model, has brought over 650 schools and school rooms to youth and provided clean water, health care and sanitation to one million people around the world, freeing children and their families from the cycle of poverty.

The Odyssey Project is a community-based music program for young people, that teaches musical skills through the performance of popular music. Each year we audition interested students from four area high schools and select around twenty young people to form a performance ensemble that will develop their skills over the next ten months. Each year's work culminates in a series of performances including our full-out Odyssey Project Live at the Academy Theatre show and a performance tour of central Ontario.

Started six years ago, our program has already earned a reputation for giving young musicians the space and guidance they require to develop into confident skilled performers. Clinicians, adjudicators and industry professionals that visit our program consistently comment on both the quality of the group's performance and the level of professionalism shown by the ensemble.

CIPA (Collaborative Initiatives in the Performing Arts) is a totally new and unique way of providing our students with greater performance opportunities in music and drama. CIPA is the creation of a group of like-minded Arts teachers from LCVI and IEWSS. We believe that by bringing students from these two performing arts programs together, we are better able to provide worthwhile, quality performing experiences to the students of both schools in this time of declining enrolment. The three combined music ensembles being offered this year (Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble and Concert Choir) represent the next step in the evolution of an idea that began two years ago with the first LCVI/IEW Mass Concert Band.

Lindsay events for APRIL 2012

April 1

Coronation Street - Tales From the Street
at 2pm
Academy Theatre - Lindsay, Ontario

ON STAGE – IN PERSON
MUCH ADO ABOUT CORONATION STREET…

Four cast-members of the legendary British TV series, CORONATION STREET, will be at Lindsay’s Academy Theatre in TALES FROM THE STREET, Sunday April 1 at 2:00 PM.

Audience members will see these familiar faces of Britain's longest running soap, spilling the secrets and gossip about their characters, the behind the scenes antics, and their lives on and off the small screen. A special segment of the show will allow audience members to ask their questions about the residents of England's most famous street.

And, a lucky 100 admirers will get a chance to purchase tickets for apre-show meet-and-greet reception with the former Coronation Street actors, followed by prime front seats for the main event.

Coronation Street's bigger than ever!

Coronation Street began due to a government mandate for home-grown television programming. A Canadian producer at Granada, the late Harry Elton, knew the popularity and longevity of American soaps and their production cost-effectiveness. He met a young writer at Granada, Tony Warren, who knew the stories and people of England’s North. Neither of them imagined their show would become part of the very fabric of the country. But it has.

Since it first broadcast on December 9,1960, it's been one of the most financially lucrative programs on commercial television and the world's longest-running TV drama serial currently in production. Over the years, it's covered a number of storylines that have created dispute, debate and public outcry. However, it’s most often noted for its mixture of drama and comedy and for its emphasis on character driven storylines. Despite the passage of over fifty years, together with changing characters, competition from other soaps and the evolution of the genre, Coronation Street has remained popular and still tops the ratings.

Appearing in this once-in-a-lifetime presentation for Corrie fans are four former regulars from the hit show…

Ken Morley is best known for his role as Reg Holdsworth (1989-1995). This outlandish, annoying and womanizing supermarket manager was the character viewers loved to hate, with his oversized glasses becoming something of a trademark. In one of his more memorable scenes, Reg, true to his unfaithful nature, bursts a waterbed with its contents deposited to the shop below.

“Reg was an iconic character. He was part of that great 1980s surge, when all those huge supermarkets were built and consumerism went wild,” Morley says. “And I remember post-war severity, living through that - the other end of the scale to the spending to capacity we have today. Holdsworth is part of that. It was a satire of that type of middle management who see themselves on the cutting edge of business, who are now paying the price through their gluttony – making sure everyone can have avocados all year round and all that - and are now facing years of austerity.” "They need characters like Reg again”, Morley reiterates. "The executive producer Kieran Roberts asked me: 'Would you ever consider coming back?' I told him I'd come back as a scourge questioning the morals, the views and the thinking of younger people.”

Steven Arnold as Ashley Peacock made his debut in 1996 as Fred Elliott’s nephew, although it was later discovered that Fred was actually his biological father. The list of Ashley-based storylines were endless…raising a child who turned out was fathered by someone else, losing his wife to murder, supporting his second wife (Claire Peacock) through postpartum depression, a devastating house fire started by his mistress, a (reluctant) vasectomy and, of course, his tragic death in the infamous Coronation Street tram crash.

In a 2010 interview with The News Of The World about his all-time favorite actor on the show, Steve added: "That's John Savident who played butcher and biological father Fred Elliott. He didn't just help me, he helped all the younger members of cast. He was brilliant, a generous actor who was fantastic to work with. Fred was my favorite character too, he had a wonderful charm about him." But Steve was glad his Ashlely Peacock character was killed off. “To be honest I felt ready to go…I loved my time at Corrie. I cried when I left because it means so much to me, but it was time for Ashley to go.”

Julia Haworth played Claire Peacock (2003-2011), initially intended to be Corrie’s answer to Mary Poppins. She arrived on The Street as a nanny to Joshua Peacock, after his mother is murdered. A romance develops between Claire and Joshua's father Ashley, and they finally marry on Christmas Day 2004. Her storyline, initially intended to include a child abduction plot, was re-developed but still criticized for being a vehicle encouraging social action/volunteer work benefiting Mental Health and 'Women In Crisis' issues. Due to these controversies, the Peacock family was cut from the storyline, with Claire making her last appearance on January 14, 2011, after tricking police and escaping to France for a life as a fugitive.

Actress Julia Haworth has called Claire a ‘a one-man girl’”. "I truly believe with Claire and Ashley that what doesn't kill them only makes them stronger. I really do think that they're a solid couple and they can get through whatever life throws at them. They're probably the only couple in the Street I can say that about."

Nicholas Cochrane debuted (1989) in Coronation Street at the age of fifteen as Andy McDonald, one of the teenage twins. Studious and conscientious, he was very different from his brother Steve, although he did get into several scrapes. He was the brains of his family, but had a lot of trouble dealing with the stress within it. Andy goes to university but drops out because of a girlfriend with whom he shortly after splits up. He works at the supermarket as a trainee manager for a while, but eventually moves to Spain, where he remains as a teacher of English. He has made occasional returns to the Street when the script demanded… reappearing to attend his mother and father's remarriage in 2000, stopping off long enough to have a short fling with local 'hipster' Toyah Battersby. He also returned to be best man at his brother's second marriage in 2004.

Regarding speaking events like TALES FROM THE STREET, Nick remarks that “it seems to be something that’s to the liking of the huge following of soap fans. It gives some of us the opportunity to have our say on things. It will be a good, lively show. The audience will be given the opportunity to ask some questions too.” Any apprehensions about that? “If there’s any questions that are a bit freaky, it depends how freaky I suppose. But I am open to any questions really, I don’t think anyone has got any regrets so...”

Ken Morley sums up the show’s 50th-anniversary… “It’s such a huge event, a show lasting 50 years, several times a week, nobody has ever done it before. And it’s not just in this country, it’s international.”

Tickets are available at the Academy Theatre Box Office, 705 324 9111 or toll free 877 888 0038.

Norm Macdonald with special guest,
Kevin Farley
at 7:30pm
at the Academy Theatre - Lindsay, Ontario

Perhaps best known for his offbeat delivery of "the fake news" on "Saturday Night Live" for five seasons, Norm MacDonald is a major comedic presence.

Aside from his notable characterizations of Bob Dole and Burt Reynolds, MacDonald proved that his acerbic wit and writing were not to be contained to just the small screen.

MacDonald starred in the film Dirty Work, which he also co-wrote; and, as the voice of Lucky the Dog in the Eddie Murphy hit, in Dr. Doolittle. MacDonald was also seen in Billy Madison with Adam Sandler, and in Milos Foreman's Academy Award-nominated The People Vs. Larry Flint.

Other feature film projects for MacDonald include Screwed, scripted and co-directed by Golden Globe-winning and Academy Award-nominated screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who wrote The People Vs. Larry Flint; and the 1999 Andy Kaufman biopic, Man On The Moon.

A native of Quebec City, Canada, MacDonald began his stand-up careet in comedy clubs throughout Canada. Upon moving to Los Angeles, he became a writer on the ABC hit series, "Roseanne".

Tommy Hunter's Last Tour
at 2pm
at the Academy Theatre - Lindsay, Ontario
A Presentation of CKQM FM Country 105

After 36 consecutive years on national television and over 65 years in the entertainment business, Tommy Hunter, the man known to millions of as "Canada"s Country Gentleman" has decided to perform across Canada one last time before hanging up his guitar.

Tommy Hunter first became known to Canadians in 1965 when he became a regular on CBC"s "Country Hoedown". After 9 successful years on "Hoedown", "The Tommy Hunter Show" was born and would become a staple of Canadian television for the next 27 consecutive years.

It didn't matter where you lived; in the mountains of BC, in a remote farmhouse in northern Saskatchewan, in a high rise apartment in Toronto or Edmonton, or in a fishing village in the Maritimes. Like "Hockey Night in Canada", the opening theme music to the "Tommy Hunter Show" meant the whole family was again gathered in front of the television to welcome into their living room a man who became like a trusted family friend.

Since the cancellation of the show Hunter has concentrated on both live performances and recording, both of which he had little time for when doing a regular TV show. His annual winter tour has given him the opportunity to meet in person the dedicated fans that faithfully watched him every week. In fact during his 2010 tour it was not unusual to have three and four generations of one family attend the show.

March 29

Celebrating Life Ernest Thompson Seton
from 6:30-8:00pm
at Fleming College Frost Campus Lindsay

It may be Lindsay's best-kept secret: renowned Canadian naturalist and artist Ernest Thompson Seton spent a formative part of his childhood in Lindsay between 1866 and 1870.

And now, plans are underway to celebrate the life of Seton and his connection to the area.

Two Fleming College students at the Frost Campus - Julie Crawley and Gilbert Gaboury - are partnering with the Kawartha Trans Canada Trail Association to host a community lecture on Seton as well as rededicate a plaque in his honour. The Ontario Historical Plaque will eventually be located on the section of the Trans Canada Trail that passes through the Frost Campus.

The rededication ceremony and free community lecture will feature guest speaker John Wadland, a Trent University professor who completed his Ph.D. on Seton. It will take place on March 29 starting at 6:30 p.m. in room 250 (the Glenn Crombie Theatre) of the Frost Campus, 200 Albert St. S. in Lindsay.

Seton, who was born in England in 1860, moved with his family to Canada in 1866, settling near Lindsay. It was his first introduction to rural life and his childhood experiences here led to the beginnings of his love of nature.

In 1870 the family moved to Toronto. Later in life, Seton eventually settled in Carberry, Manitoba. In his lifetime he authored 40 books and completed many landscape paintings. He died in 1946.

Seton is well-known throughout the world, from England to Japan. Local residents can view some of Seton‚s paintings at the Lindsay Art Gallery, which holds a collection of his works.

Noises Off
Please go to www.academytheatre.ca for times.
located at the Academy Theatre

Triple Threat Theatre proudly presents this gut-busting comedy about a play within a play. "Noises Off" is a fast-paced, British farce, and features an extremely talented cast performing on an imaginative, fully-rotating set.

The show follows a travelling theatre group through performances on their journey to Broadway; with the cast still forgetting lines, missing cues, loosing props, and disappearing, it is all any of them can do to keep calm and put on a show. Hilarity and chaos run rampant both on and off the stage.

This is one of the funniest shows you will ever see and will keep you laughing from start to finish!
Don't forget the deals. "Noises Off" is part of the Academy Theatre's 2011 summer season.
