PtboCanada Review: Peterborough Theatre Guild's "Noises Off"

/

I had the opportunity to be part of the Open Audience performance of the hilarious play Noises Off at The Peterborough Theatre Guild earlier this week.  Directed by Brian MacDonald, this farce showcases some of our amazing local talent, such as Kelley Mazda, Justin Boyd, Ray Henderson, Rachel Bemrose, Gillian Kunza, Terry Convey, Jack Burke, Sarah Tye, and Andrew Little. 

Noises Off will have you in complete stitches the full two and a half hours of the production, as you watch a play within a play. It is made up of three acts portraying the misfortunes, mix-ups and misspoken lines of a play entitled Nothing On. And indeed, you may spot a few actors now and then in only their briefs!  

Running today (September 17th) through to October 2nd, there will be 12 performances in total. Check out their website for dates and times. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors, and $10 for students, and are available at the theatre box office. You can also check out the events page on Facebook.  —Julie Morris, PtboCanada contributor

Meet the Two Dudes Behind the Excellent 'Have you seen...' Movie Rental Store

/
HaveYouSeen Paul Pfeiffer and Howard Gibbs didn't know quite what they were getting into when they came up with the idea to open a movie rental store. Their friends said the concept would be an "effort in futility," and yet 8 1/2 years later Have you Seen... remains the best place to find a rental flick in the Patch.

Stuff Just Happens in The Patch

/

The Peterborough Folk Festival Was a Hit!

/

There were lots of shady spots to throw a towel down and listen to Kate LeDeuce After a sold-out show at a special opening night event on Friday night, Peterborough Folk Festival had a fantastic turnout on Saturday during their full day of events.

The 'learning to drum' stage turned into quite a gathering

There were numerous vendors, including a Hula-hooping workshop

And here's The McFlies covering "Sunglasses at Night" at PFF:
