Burlington: Outerbridge Magic -- Mysteries of the Keyhole House [Mar 9 & 10]

From The Burlington Performing Arts Centre:

Perfect for the whole family, this world-class performance combines grand illusions, comedy-magic, and mind-bending mentalism. Based on a true story about a historic Ottawa Valley home lovingly restored and named The Keyhole House by the Outerbridges, it serves as the backdrop to this magical journey through time, filled with historic relics and tales of its former residents. Ted and Marion’s compelling social media videos, boasting over 30 million views, and appearances across CTV National News, a TVO documentary, and NBC’s The Golf Channel (Brooke Henderson’s grandparents had a 54-year connection to the house), have turned the Keyhole House into a global phenomenon. Join them for an evening of enthralling illusions, theatre, and dance, as they share the fascinating stories (including friendly hauntings), making Mysteries of the Keyhole House a unique and unforgettable magical experience that bridges reality and illusion, past and present, and the rhythmic cadence of time.

Burlington: Lucy Darling [Apr 23]

From The Burlington Performing Arts Centre:

The reigning stage magician of the year Lucy Darling has won the world over for her wit, her charm, and her exceptionally good hair. Lucy is a lady magician who brings together a potent mix of playful improvisational comedy, witty writing, and impossible magical feats. Evoking comparisons to everyone from Dame Edna to Pee Wee Herman, this edgy, postmodern character is a double shot of magical mischief, with a splash of old Hollywood and a dash of Dorothy Parker.

Her history is shrouded in mystery, several ex-husbands and wives. International traveler, major style and culture icon with desire to share her magical life and gifts with select audiences in high and low places. She loves you all but her disarming wit reveals truthful and delightful insights. A one of a kind entertainer, a throwback who is on the cutting edge. You are about to fall in love with Lucy Darling.
