Come fall in love with Miriam in the world premiere production of a heartwarming new play by Peter Paylor. She’s a young librarian with eclectic reading habits. She likes Austen and Shakespeare and Dickens. She knows the Dewey Decimal System by heart. She plays pub trivia on Thursdays and flag football on Sundays. She’s bright, she’s charming, she’s lovable. She’s interested in just about everything. Except hope. She can’t seem to get her head around hope. Not until she meets Linda Louise Montgomery, who’s twelve, and Linda Louise’s father. He’s a seismologist. “The Story of My Life” will make your soul feel good. You’ll leave the theatre believing in hope. Starring Alexandra Bell as Miriam. Directed by Lisa Spence. Tickets are $25 each from Eventbrite or call (613) 403-7329 to reserve.

Prepare to be blown away. With a voice “that must be heard to be believed” (Rob Baker, The Tragically Hip), Kingston’s Miss Emily weaves blues, country and rock together in a spellbinding, major-award-winning blend. “The best pipes I’ve ever heard,” according to Gene Simmons. The 17-piece Commodores Orchestra has provided swing music accompaniment to life in the Quinte Region since the Roaring Twenties. As the historic ensemble nears its 100th anniversary in 2028, the Commodores have adapted their big band sound to much acclaim from modern audiences, thanks to the contributions of some of Canada’s finest Grammy and Juno level musicians. But make no mistake. It’s still a Belleville and Quinte-based band; two-thirds of its players live less than half an hour away. Miss Emily and the Commodores will have you wondering why nobody thought of this before.

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”

Rhymes With Orange Music Club is an inclusive gathering meant to encourage and develop new ideas. It’s a new concept – three hours once a month dedicated to taking us all into uncharted territory. Fashioned as more rehearsal than performance, it’s a safe space for new melodies and lyrics to take shape. Got a new song you want to try out? We’d love to hear it. We promise to fit in all comers, so bring us all your new ideas. Pineapple Productions is extremely proud to present this FREE Event at our favourite Belleville venue – UpFront Cafe!
