  • The Story of My Life: a one-woman play by Peter Paylor

    Theatre in the Wings 30 Bridge Street East, Belleville

    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.

  • Miss Emily with the Commodores’ Orchestra

    Empire Theatre 321 Front Street, Belleville

    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.
