A couple from the city rents an old farmhouse in the country. Their dream of quiet becomes a nightmare when they find out about a murder in the house and the vengeful ghost that is reported to stalk the night. Laugh out loud funny and scream out loud scary. Not recommended for children (or the faint of heart!).

Myra Bennet, a young British nurse, arrives on the rugged shores of Newfoundland in 1921. No roads, no electricity, no doctors for miles. She signed on for a year and stayed for a lifetime. A spell-binding tale of strength and heroism told with humour and elegant simplicity.

Amelia Earhart rose to unimaginable heights, literally and figuratively. This new musical from the writer that brought us Billy Bishop Goes to War, re-imagines her meteoric rise from the “girl next door” to the iconic first woman in flight. Inspiring, insightful and entertaining.
