Love, gossip and murder in Algonquin Park.
Ragtime musical celebrates the famous painter's life, his mysterious death and the woman who loved him After two years on hold due to the pandemic, Stone Fence Theatre is eager to launch a remarkable new musical about the life and death of Canada's most famous artist: Tom Thomson & The Colours of Canada: Love, gossip and murder in Algonquin Park.
The show was written and composed by Ish Theilheimer, with Peter Brown and is directed by Chantal Elie-Sernoskie. It will be performed on Wednesdays and Thursdays from July 20th to August 11th, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Rankin Culture and Community Centre (not the Bonnechere Caves, as originally planned, due to technical problems there.)
There will also be shows there on September 18, 23, and 25. Shows on Sundays start at 2 p.m.
Tickets cost $40 or $10 for youth. With your ticket you get dessert from Schmidt's Catering and a hot beverage by Madawaska Coffee and an opportunity to enjoy the Tom Thomson Wilderness Art Festival.
In addition, there will be a special performance of the show at the Outdoor Theatre in Algonquin Park a 2 p.m. on August 16. August 17 and 18 are rain dates.
