2015 Kingston Prize

from Friday, October 9, 2015 – 12:00pm to Sunday, October 25, 2015 – 8:00pm

GANANOQUE EXHIBITION FIREHALL THEATRE

The Kingston Prize is a Canada-wide competition and exhibition tour for Canadian portrait painting. The competition is open to any Canadian artist who depicts a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant in a portrait based on a real life encounter. The aim of The Kingston Prize is to encourage and reward the creation of contemporary portraits by Canadian artists, to promote Canadian artists through competition, and over time to develop an historical record of Canadians, by Canadians.

Each exhibition becomes a fascinating snapshot of a cross-section of Canadian life. A distinguished panel of judges determines the 30 finalists, whose work then becomes part of the national touring exhibition. The exhibition gives much needed public exposure to talented Canadian artists, while at the same time sparking interest, conversation and inspiration in the visitors attending the exhibitions.

The Kingston Prize provides an opportunity for Canadians to celebrate gifted artists in a way that was not previously available. The interest from artists and the public has grown exponentially since the inception of the Kingston Prize in 2005.

Admission by Donation

185 South Street Gananoque, Ontario noon – 8:00pm Closed Mondays

“I was thinking, I don’t know…maybe one of you would be my blind date?”

Live theatre doesn’t get any livelier than this!

Mimi has been stood up by her blind date, but why let the night fall to ruin when there are so many handsome audience members?! Each night, she invites a willing gentleman for a spontaneous rendezvous on stage. The result is witty, sexy and different every time!

BLIND DATE is a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants fusion of clown, improvisation, and theatrical experiment that you’ll want to see again and again. After sold out runs in London and New York, we are delighted that Mimi is coming to the Firehall Stage. You will be too!

Come out to the Firehall Theatre Sunday April 19 at 2:30pm to hear the fabulous cast sing hit songs from Oklahoma!

Welcome spring with Rogers and Hammerstein’s beloved classic Broadway musical. Hear our fabulous cast sing hits like Oh What a Beautiful Morning, People Will Say We’re In Love, Surrey With the Fringe on Top, I Cain’t Say No, and, of course, Oklahoma!

The professional actors and directors are appearing courtesy of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association. For more information visit www.riverbankproductions.ca/season/

The 1000 Islands Playhouse is having a free reading of Siberian Summer on December 4 at 7:30pm and of Lore on December 6 at 7:30pm.

Siberian Summer is written by Playwrights’ Unit member Paul Van Dyck
Join us for the first public reading of works created in our Playwrights’ Unit, led by professional directors and performed by professional actors! 

Siberian Summer chronicles the adventures of three retired small-town Ontario women who decide to take a vacation on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Based on an actual trip the playwright took in 2008 with his mother and her friends, this whimsical comedy examines the often humorous and sometimes poignant cultural differences between nationalities and generations.

Lore is written by Playwrights’ Unit members Jodi Essery and Attila Clemann
Join us for the first public reading of works created in our Playwrights’ Unit, led by professional directors and performed by professional actors!

Lore is a duet. A young girl prays that her dead mother be returned to her. Instead, an emaciated 7-foot-tall Viking falls from the sky. Our young heroine must open herself up to an unexpected and uninvited stranger who does not speak her language, and lives by none of the rules of her everyday world. Together they will rage, defy, laugh, eat, struggle, become lost, fail, hold on, and step into a blizzard of not knowing in an effort to return the Viking from whence he came.

Come to the Firehall Theatre and enjoy the wit and culture of Siberian Summer and Lore.

On Sunday, July 6, come out and celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Thousand Islands’ Firehall Theatre. Browse through our memorabilia, take a stroll through the theatre’s past, hear stories that you’ve never heard before, see the costumes and wardrobe up close, not to mention visit with our special guests and have a slice of cake!

Doors open at 4pm. For more information on tickets and anniversary events visit the Thousand Islands Playhouse website, or call  the Box Office at, 613-382-7020.

See you all there!

The is a volunteer run, not-for-profit organization, now celebrating 29 years of fine music in Gananoque and the Thousand Islands. Season subscriptions are on sale. For more information visit www.concertgananoque.ca.
