We have had the opportunity to meet so many amazing musically inclined people who love to play but are looking for something more casual and cooperative than our open mic format. Join us for our unplugged jam sessions hosted by our friend Colin. Whether it’s a guitar, mandolin, cajon, ukelele, or other acoustic instrument players of all skill levels are welcome, or just come to listen and sing along! So how’s a jam different? – A “jam” is any music played without preparation beforehand. This might mean that the music is undefined, or simply that the running order and the musicians are.
Lighthouse burst on the scene in 1969, with an explosive sound that defied all conventions.
Back home in Toronto, their free concerts at Nathan Phillip’s Square attracted up to one hundred thousand people. From 1970 to 1976 Lighthouse toured three hundred days a year across North America with an emphasis on Canadian concerts in the cities, towns and small hamlets of every province.
Reunited in 1990, Lighthouse continues to tour regularly featuring original co-founder Paul Hoffert leading an all-star line-up that includes original member Russ Little with Chris Howells, Simon Wallis, Michael Stuart, Doug Moore, Don Paulton, Paul DeLong, Marc Ganetakos, James Naro and dynamic lead vocalist Dan Clancy.
Join us for three engaging and entertaining one-act plays by local playwrights brought to life by some of the region’s finest actors. The Quinte Region is fast becoming a hotbed of play writing excellence…and we’ve got the proof. From bittersweet to poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, these three plays by Belleville playwrights are sure to have our audiences talking about them long after they’ve left the theatre. “Driving” by Steve Billinger is timely and masterfully written with dialogue as sharp as a knife. It’s an intense tour de force throwing two disparate men together in a sometimes uncomfortable conversation that neither one can escape from. “The Business Behind Us” by Matthew Sheahan is deceptively complex. With finely drawn characters, it’s both a modern morality tale and a mystery wrapped in a seemingly ordinary family story. “After Graduation” by Beth Milligan is short and sweet and as funny as…well…you’ll just have to see it. A master of writing plays that are fun for both actors and audiences, Beth has truly outdone herself with this one. Support local theatre and local writers. See all three plays for one price. That’s a bargain. Tickets are $25 on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/act-locally-tickets-1613028925939

Following the success of the two previous walks, join us at 2:30 on Saturday, October 18, for another stroll along Bridge Street and its cross-streets to view some more magnificent mansions built in this leafy area in the late 19th century. The commentary will include both architectural notes and stories about some of each house’s inhabitants through the years. In Part 3, we will meet at the corner of Queen Street and George Street (parking is possible on either street) and take in George Street and John Street. At the end of the walking tour (around 4 pm) attendees will be invited to a local hostelry for refreshment. The Architectural Conservancy of Ontario encourages the conservation and reuse of structures, districts and landscapes of architectural, historic and cultural significance, to inspire and benefit Ontarians. The local branch is the Prince Edward County branch, and it holds many exciting events each year to inform and educate its members and the public about the built heritage in the region and its historical and architectural value. Tickets can be bought at https://www.ticketscene.ca/events/56848/. For more info, e-mail aco_pec@acontario.ca. This event is a fundraiser for the HASPE digitization project.
