About the Show
Blood Brothers is a gripping, heart-wrenching musical by Willy Russell that follows the lives of Mickey and Eddie — twin brothers separated at birth and raised on opposite sides of class, opportunity, and circumstance. One grows up in poverty, the other in privilege, and though unaware of their connection, their paths continue to cross as children, teenagers, and finally as men. With humour, innocence, and tragedy intertwined, the show explores fate, family, identity, and the cost of social inequality.
We chose Blood Brothers because it offers powerful, emotionally resonant storytelling that invites both performers and audiences into a journey filled with laughter, heartache, innocence, and tragedy. The music is raw and unforgettable, blending driving narrative with deeply human ballads that leave a lasting impact. The show provides rich character development, allowing actors to grow from childhood to adulthood in roles that demand honesty, vulnerability, and nuance. Its themes of class, identity, and the circumstances that shape us remain strikingly relevant today, sparking conversation and reflection long after the curtain falls. This production celebrates ensemble performance, shared storytelling, and theatre that dares to ask difficult questions — all reasons we feel it is the perfect choice for this collaboration.
Blood Brothers is a show that stays with people — performed once, remembered forever.
A rewarding challenge for cast and creatives, and an unforgettable experience for an audience.

It Was Just an Accident
- Feb 6, 2026
- Showtime: 2pm & 7pm
- Country: Iran, France, Luxembourg
- Language: Persian, Azerbaijani with English Subtitles
It Was Just an Accident follows a seemingly ordinary night that spirals into a profound moral reckoning. After a minor roadside incident leaves a family stranded, a chance encounter connects them with a man whose past is marked by political imprisonment and trauma. A small detail—barely noticeable to most—triggers memories that refuse to stay buried, raising unsettling questions about identity, coincidence, and accountability.
As former prisoners’ cross paths and suspicions grow, the film unfolds as a tense, often darkly humorous exploration of justice and memory. Director Jafar Panahi uses intimate conversations and restrained suspense to examine how people live with unresolved wounds from oppression, and whether truth, forgiveness, or revenge can ever bring closure. What begins as “just an accident” becomes a powerful meditation on moral choice in the shadow of political violence.

A bit about the play:
Who Killed the Director? is a riotous whodunnit where backstage theatrics explode into real-life murder. When the over-the-top director of the Powder Keg Players is stabbed mid-rehearsal, the cast suddenly finds themselves centre stage in a deadly mystery. With egos clashing, tempers flaring, and long-buried secrets coming to light, everyone has a motive—and no one is innocent.
Packed with sharp humour, gasp-worthy twists, and a gallery of gloriously colourful characters, this is more than a play—it’s a night of laugh-out-loud entertainment that keeps you guessing until the final reveal.
Book now, grab your seat, and see if you can solve the murder before the curtain falls!

The Nest

- Mar 8, 2026
- Showtime: 2pm
Join us in celebrating International Women’s Day with a screening of the National Film Board (NFB) documentary The Nest (2025).
Proceeds to support Lanark County Interval House
About the documentary:
At the end of her mother’s life, decolonial writer Julietta Singh returns to say goodbye to her haunted childhood home. As she digs into the history of the house, she uncovers 140 years of forgotten matriarchs and political rebels she never knew.
Singh teams up with acclaimed filmmaker Chase Joynt (Framing Agnes, No Ordinary Man) for a politically charged cross-community collaboration that deftly interweaves Indigenous, Deaf, Japanese and South Asian histories, all connected through the home.
A reckoning with memory, matriarchy and the enduring legacies of silenced voices, the film questions who gets lost in the archives of history, and what we stand to gain by resurrecting them. The Nest transforms a single home from a place of siloed histories into a site of radical collective potential.
