This summer will bring many kinds of entertainment to Meaford Hall Arts and Cultural Centre, with options for families, music lovers and Star Wars fans.
Here's the lineup of events coming up at Meaford Hall this summer:
The Hall's 2023 summer theatre season features three stellar, professional productions, starting with the award-winning musical, Confessions of a Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl, written by and starring Rebecca Perry. Running from July 11 to 15, this one-woman show is funny, and overflowing with heartwarming and hilarious life lessons for anyone who ever had a job they didn’t like.
For Star Wars fans, Charlie Ross’ One Man Star Wars trilogy will have you in stitches as he plays all the roles in this solo "tour de farce." With express permission from George Lucas Films, you’ll not want to miss this award-winning show. If you’ve been looking for the perfect occasion to wear that Jedi costume that’s tucked away in your closet, this is it! One Man Star Wars Trilogy runs from July 25 to 29.
The final production of the summer theatre series is Shipyard Kitchen Party’s original folk musical, Tom Thomson’s Wake. This beautiful production celebrates this Group of Seven artist, brought to life by reminiscences of friends, of lovers, and the land he painted. This show runs from August 15 to 19. Don’t miss the corresponding exhibit in the galleries that includes a selection of pieces from The Tom Gallery and a very special exhibit from the Tree Trust Meaford.
Summer Theatre tickets are regular, $40 and $20 for students.
This year's summer concert series includes: Western Swing Authority (July 7), Matchedash Parish (July 22), or Everyday People (August 26). Tickets are available for individual shows or as a three-show pass.
A special event on Sept. 8 will feature a concert by actor, musician, and singer-songwriter Noah Reid.
A long-time musician, Reid began composing melodies on piano as a child and later developed his songcraft while studying at the National Theatre School of Canada. Noah Reid has earned a permanent place in the music industry for his powerful vocals and honest delivery. As an actor, Reid is best known for playing Patrick in the Emmy-winning comedy series Schitt’s Creek, and was part of the cast that won a Screen Actors Guild Award for best ensemble. In 2022, he was seen in Brian Watkins’ Amazon series Outer Range opposite Josh Brolin, Imogen Poots and Lewis Pullman and wrapped up his Broadway debut as the lead of Tracy Letts’ Tony-nominated play The Minutes, which received rave reviews. This special event on Sept. 8 will begin with a reception at 6:30 p.m. and concert at 7:30 p.m. with special guest Miranda Mulholland. Tickets are $175.
