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

There Are Huskies All Over the Patch!

/

Well, not exactly. But recently, two of our three Petro-Canada Gas Stations have turned into Husky Gas Stations.

Here's why: In 2009 Petro-Canada announced that they were merging with Suncor to create Canada's largest energy company. As part of the agreement, the federal government required Petro-Canada to sell 104 retail stores in Ontario. Husky Energy purchased most of them, including two of them (on Chemong Road and Highway 7 East) right here in Peterborough.
