If you have not heard (the word is out) about the Studio Theatre’s October 13–23 presentation of two 1-act plays, best sit up and take notice!

First, Whistler’s Mother, is a jolly construction about how the iconic painting may have been conceived. Quite possibly, the real events that preceded the artists portrait of his mom were less hilarious than is our play. Whereas “Mom” in the painting is spinning one disapproval after another under her Victorian bonnet, our Anna Whistler is both warm and amusing. You will leave the theatre chuckling.

Along with the play about Whistler is a thriller that will leave you holding your breath, and even feeling perhaps a wee bit spooked. The Attic is an eerie mystery about secrets and lies discovered in a dusty attic. The night air may hum with nervous laughter and discussion as people walk to their cars, reviewing what they’ve just seen.

Date : October 21-22, 2022 from 7:30pm to 9:30pm

Many Canadians have a day off work on December 25 and many spend the day with close relatives or friends. It is customary to exchange gifts, enjoy a special festive meal and, perhaps, attend a special church service.

In some Canadian families and in the United States, a mythical figure called Santa Claus brings gifts. He travels on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, enters homes via the chimney and leaves presents and candy in Christmas stockings or in a pile under the Christmas tree. In other families, individual members exchange carefully selected gifts. Popular gifts are toys, games and candy for children and clothes, music, alcohol and practical or luxury items for adults. Canadians may open their presents on Christmas Eve after a special church service or during the morning or after lunch on Christmas Day.

The original meaning of Christmas is a special church service, or mass, to celebrate the birth of Christ. The story of the Nativity, or the events surrounding the birth of Jesus, are particularly important in religious celebrations of Christmas. However, many traditions that are around today have their roots in pre-Christian winter festivals. These include the importance of candles and decorations made from evergreen bushes and tree, symbolizing everlasting light and life.
