Bracebridge 150: Sustainability for Future Generations

What Critics Are Saying:
“One Brief Shining Moment is a well-crafted, reflective piece of theatre. Its characters are all relatable, especially for those involved in the arts who often struggle between following passion with financial uncertainty over security. It asks all the right questions from “what if?” to, perhaps more importantly, “what now?” Don’t miss it.”
-Steel City Reviews

ONE BRIEF SHINING MOMENT

Written by Dyanna Jacklin

Directed by Jocelyn Bell

Starring: Mallary Davenport, Jim Kelly, Parres Allen, Lauren Rodrigues

Fresh off a successful run at the 2024 Hamilton Fringe Festival, this "comedy with feeling" is an intimate and compelling exploration of love, memory, and the choices that define us. Pete and Renee are hosting a dinner party for Alan, the architect designing their dream home, and his wife, Allie, a Broadway actor. But beneath the surface of polite conversation lies an unresolved past as Pete and Allie once shared a passionate love affair. As the evening unfolds, the past and present collide, transporting the audience through flashbacks to the pivotal moments of Pete and Allie’s relationship. What if you could go back in time? Would you change your story?
Originally debuting in 2021, produced by The Monarch Performing Arts Studio in Huntsville, One Brief Shining Moment has since grown into a beautifully realized production. After captivating audiences at Hamilton Fringe 2024, the show has evolved into a full-length two-act play, deepening its exploration of love, regret, and the enduring impact of the choices we make.

Nickolas Kulcher
Paige Meunier
Veronica Leonard

The Huntsville Theatre Company and Theatre Muskoka are thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership, launching HTC’s 2024/2025 season with the Tony Award-winning, crowd-favourite musical: "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee!"
This fast-paced, side-splitting musical comedy follows an eccentric group of six overachieving spellers as they compete for the prestigious Putnam County spelling title. Along the way, they candidly reveal hilarious, awkward, and sometimes heartfelt stories from their home lives, grapple with the pressure of competition, and face unexpected challenges like the dreaded "ding" of elimination. But don’t worry even the losers get a juice box!
In her directorial debut, Paige Meunier takes you on a fast-paced ride with Spelling Bee, packing it with witty humour, heartfelt moments, and quirky characters you’ll instantly love.
Select audience members will be invited onstage to join the competition, making every performance completely unique and unpredictably fun. (Don’t worry, we won’t put you up on stage without your permission!)
From the hilarious "My Friend, the Dictionary" to the emotional ballad "The I Love You Song," this show is a perfect blend of comedy and genuine heart.
Whether you’re a theatre veteran or brand new to the stage, this show will have you laughing, cheering, and maybe even spelling along!
Although this musical is set in a school environment, it is not necessarily suited for all school-aged audiences. We recommend this show for ages 14+ due to its humour and themes.
