Featuring New Country Rehab, Christa Couture, Andrew Queen, Julian Taylor, David Wilton, Ariana Gillis, Kristine Schmitt With a new name, expanded programming, and a broader creative focus, the popular annual Johnny Cash tribute show at Port Hope’s Capitol Theatre seeks to break new ground in its fifth year—as community festival, dedicated to the spirit of […]

The stage in The House – our city’s main little theatre – lists to the right. I’m not sure how long this has been so, but it has become more and more problematic as the principal dancers in our town have begun to age. Not nearly as spry as they used to be, the members […]

  The most obvious thing is that I need a haircut. My lid is looking a lot like it did in 1996 – except a lot more straggly. Like I’m a 40-something slacker, freshly excavated from his parent’s basement. Look a little closer, and you’ll see that my jackets are all just a little bit […]
