A musical adventure about being young and pursuing a dream.  Sisters Eileen and Ruth arrive in New York City in 1935, fresh off the bus from Columbus, Ohio.  Lucky for them, they’ve landed in Greenwich Village, where artists, bohemians and a cast of colourful characters greet them.  Seen through the eyes of these two young hopefuls, New York never seemed more charming, vibrant or fun as the sisters slowly come to discover what wonderful things life can really bring in this town.

An Inspector Calls - Festival Theatre, April 17 to November 2

By J.B. Priestley, Directed by Neil Munro

A spring evening, 1912, and the prosperous Birling family has gathered for an intimate dinner.  Their daughter’s engagement to a fine young man of means is the cause for celebration, but the festivities are interrupted when a police inspector unexpectedly calls.  He is looking into the death of a young woman, and as Inspector Goole questions each member of the family, skeletons come clattering out of the closet and a remarkable web of connections unfolds.

The original Niagara-on-the-Lake Ghost Tour, in operation since 1994.

Join us in an exploration of the haunted remains of Fort George, site of some of the bloodiest fighting in the War of 1812.  Fort George is alive with phantoms, spirits and apparitions.  The menacing wooden palisades, the eerie choir of crickets and the creeping shadows of the lantern make these ghost tours an experience not to be missed.  Over the course of the 1.5 -2 hour candlelit walking tour, you will hear a score of ghostly accounts, as well as be introduced to the history of Fort George and the surrounding area.

Tours gather in the parking lot at Fort George.
Tickets for Ghost tours from May to September are $10 per adult, $5 for children under 13.
