    East Coast Kitchen Party

    Convenor: Roy MacKay

    Date: March 22,  2025

    Time: 6:00 - 11:00 pm

    Location: The Royal  Canadian Legion 21 Charles St., Milton


    A true east coast kitchen party is a legendary get-together rooted in community. Neighbours and friends gather in someone's kitchen, which is often the biggest and warmest room in the house. There is storytelling, some of them might even be true! There is always food and drink, music and dancing. Music is the lifeblood of any kitchen party. It's not unusual for guests to bring their own instruments as parties turn into jam sessions. Fiddles, accordions, and guitars are the staples and before long folks are up for a scuff (dancing) and a scoff (food).


    Please join us for our own Kitchen Party

    Live Music with the Celtic Effect Band who will take requests for East Coast/Irish songs

    Dinner optional: Menu: Corned Beef, cabbage and potatoes with cake for dessert.

    Cash bar available (ATM's available upstairs and downstairs)

    If you wish to attend dinner please arrive at 6 pm cost for dinner and entertainment $48

    If you wish to attend only the entertainment arrive at 7 pm, cost $20

    Our Summer Theatre Series is back for a second year. Join

    us at one, two or all three of these fun activities, while enjoying a countryside drive.


     

    Convenor: Jenny O'Brien

    Date: Thursday, May 8th

    Time: 2 PM show; 11:45 Lunch Gathering @ The Foundry (64 Grand Avenue South)

    Location:Hamilton Family Theatre 46 Grand Ave S, Cambridge

    Cost: $57 ($10 less than street rate)

    First Up:

    Put on your dancing shoes because Crazy for You – the multiple Tony Award®-winning, romantic musical comedy – is lighting up Cambridge with its sublime songs, snappy script full of one-liners, and dynamic tap routines.

    New York banker Bobby Child is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a rundown theatre where he falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter. She takes an instant dislike to the city slicker, so Bobby vows – through cunning, razzmatazz, and a hilarious case of mistaken identity – to win Polly’s heart, save the theatre, and renew the town.

    A celebration of musical theatre at its finest, the glorious Gershwin melodies include “I Got Rhythm,” “They Can’t Take That Away from Me,” “Embraceable You,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”

    Who could ask for anything more?

    Second in our Summer Theatre Series, this time we head to the East Coast for some unique hilarity and good times.

    There’s no such thing as a secret in Stewiacke, Nova Scotia – especially when four female best friends meet for coffee every day at the local diner to share gossip, romance, bawdy tales, and the true meaning of life.

    When Sean, a heartbroken doctor from Toronto, takes a temporary job at the clinic and becomes interested in local waitress Janine, the Maritime town that’s best known for being the halfway point between the Equator and North Pole is tipped off its axis. What follows is a month of lessons learned for all, through hilarity, tears, and the unshakeable bonds of friendship.

    Norm Foster, Canada’s favourite playwright, has another hit on his hands with his raucously funny comedy about the messiness of love.

    Cost: $57 ($10 less that the street rate)

    Third of three plays in our summer theatre series, this time we'll learn to laugh death in the face!

    A new Canadian comedy that turns grief into a hilarious journey of unexpected revelations and side-splitting confessions, Liars at a Funeral is a raucous farce bursting with eccentric characters, witty banter, hidden identities, and irreverent humour that will make you laugh at life, death, and family.

    When an estranged family gathers to mourn the passing of their matriarch, the funeral erupts into more of a dysfunctional reunion than any of them could predict. Secrets unravel, long-buried truths emerge, a family curse keeps siblings apart, and—surprise!—it turns out grandma has exaggerated her demise in a last-ditch attempt to get the whole wild and woolly clan together under the same roof.

    Can this eccentric clan of liars navigate the rocky road to reconciliation? Or will the next 24 hours be the final nail in this dysfunctional family’s coffin? Find out in this uproarious romp that pokes fun at the absurdities of family dynamics and the desperate lengths we go to for love and connection.

    Location: Backed by Bees, 6214 Appleby Line, Burlington, L7M 0P7


    Join us for an hour bee encounter at Backed by Bees.

    Imagine bees flitting from flower to flower, the sweet smell of honey lingering in the air, the buzz of 2 million bees going to and fro and you standing in the middle of it all. During this experience, you'll have the ability to get as close to the bees as you would like, and experience first hand what a hive of 60,000 bees looks, feels and tastes like. You might even get accustomed to the buzz.

    Led by the Head Beekeeper who cares for over 700 beehives, this one hour experience is perfect for anyone who likes nature, has a curiosity about honeybees and wants to experience bees in their natural habitat. 

    *Learn about the structural make up of a bee yard and a beehive

    *Be introduced to live honeybees by opening up a colony, interacting with the bees and seeing the internal workings of the colony. You may even "pet" a bee!

    *Taste honey straight from a bee hive frame

    There is a tap inside the farm store where their very own Honey Soda and Mead (the oldest form of alcohol in the world) are served.
