When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Written by Joseph Howard for the Motion Picture of the same name. Directed by Moira Nikander-Forrester. Pinnacle Playhouse, 256 Pinnacle St, Belleville, ON. Preview June 9. Performances June 11-28 Wednesdays (new) to Sundays. Nearby parking, wheelchair accessible. Tickets at 613-967-1442 or bellevilletheatreguild.ca.

RISE is a space for women to be seen, heard, and honoured. This annual exhibition is an invitation to all who identify as women to share their artistic voices—bold or quiet, emerging or established—across painting, illustration, photography, mixed media, textiles, sculpture, and ceramics. Aligned with International Women’s Day 2026 and its theme Give to Gain, RISE explores what grows when we offer our time, our stories, our care, and our creativity. What do we gain when generosity becomes a practice? When women lift one another, what becomes possible—for ourselves, for our communities, for the future? RISE is more than an exhibition—it’s a gathering of voices, a shared platform, and a declaration that women’s creativity shapes culture. Exhibition: March 6th-27, 10:00am – 4:00pm (closed Mondays, Weekends) Featured Artwork: Angela Wiggins, “I Am Here”

Today she is also a Mixed-Media Artist, creating expressionistic, exclusive one-of-a-kind 2D and 3D works that are captured in unconventional works using bold colours, patterns and textures. Michael Amar is a well-known artist in the Hastings and Kingston areas where he has presented both solo and group shows, including at the Parrott Gallery.

Join us at UpFront Cafe for live music with “Kind of Groove”, a high-energy ensemble built around deep pocket, feel, and musical chemistry.
Featuring Blair Yarranton (trumpet & effects), Martin Traynor (guitar & voice), Phil Woodard (bass), and Gary Buffett (drums), the group dives into groove-driven music that blurs the line between jazz, funk, and soul. Inspired by the electric-era explorations of icons like Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, and Miles Davis—while weaving in reimagined grooves and textures drawn from artists like Bill Withers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and The Temptations—Kind of Groove delivers a sound that is anything but traditional.
This isn’t a sit-and-listen jazz act; it’s a dynamic, feel-good jam band that locks into infectious rhythms and invites audiences to move, connect, and ride the groove.
Doors open: 7:00 pm
Music: 8:00 – 10:00 pm
