BarnDoor Theatre Presents: “Ghost Stories”!

GHOST STORIES

The Legend of Oliver’s Landing

A musical chiller
by David Jacklin

August 5-21

Ghost Stories is a full-on, Broadway-style musical, all based on a local legend.  It has been a huge success in numerous previous productions:

In 1833, John Oliver and his wife were making a comfortable living ferrying travellers across Big Rideau Lake at a place people called,  naturally enough, Oliver’s Landing. They were both murdered in a dispute involving a Native woman and their dead son. When the cabin was torn down, years later, a “large number” of skeletons were found in the basement.  David Jacklin has turned this local legend into a chilling, soaring piece of musical theatre, dramatic, funny and filled with exciting music.  A major hit in 1984 and 1992, it has been revamped for 2016 with some new music and an exciting new libretto.

Lucky charms, big dreams and a troll named Thor. It’s Friday night at the bingo hall and the gloves are off! Carol needs to pay off her debts.

A brand new musical about friendship, gambling and just how far you’ll go for the big win.

BarnDoor Productions presents “The Great Temperance Soiree”. An evening of harmony, comedy and sobriety by Janet Coward. PERFORMANCE DATES: July  8, 9, 10 ONLY.

This fun-filled show traces the rise and fall of the temperance movement in Perth in the 19th century.
Dull, right?  No way!

Taken directly from the pages of the Perth (Bathurst) Courier, it’s filled with laughs, surprises and a lot of music.

Join the “cold-water army” and battle for sobriety. This is not only a look at one aspect of Perth’s history, but an overview of the society that built our community.

AND, IT’S FUN!

Arrived. Experienced. Loved it! What an awesome troupe of performers. All so talented! And such a depth of material covered – all with humour, style and wit. I was just blown away by the performances. Musically one could only find this caliber at the NAC. But we are lucky – they are an integral centre of our community. Gotta love it!”  A.D. Perth

 The Last Deadman

BarnDoor Theatre Presents “The Last Deadman”: David Jacklin’s legendary drama with music about Canada’s last fatal duel.

First performed in 1983 (the 150th anniversary of the duel), this intense drama looks at the effect of the duel on its victor — a man who very nearly became Canada’s first prime minister!

More than simply a story of a lady’s slighted honour, the duel had far-reaching consequences for the shaping of our nation.

Told with drama, music, humour and excitement, it is a challenging and surprising multi-media theatrical event.
