Forever Plaid has played ‘round the world for nearly 20 years, and now Class Act brings this heartfelt dose of 50's nostalgia it to Whitby this July and August.
One of the most popular and successful musicals in recent memory, this deliciously goofy revue centers on four young, eager male singers killed in a car crash in the 1950s on the way to their first big concert, and now miraculously revived for the posthumous chance to fulfill their dreams and perform the show that never was.
Singing in the closest of harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with over-zealous precision, the “Plaids” are a guaranteed smash, with a program of beloved songs and delightful patter that keeps audiences rolling in the aisles when they're not humming along to some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the '50s.

DON'T WAIT - The New Ron James show is taking over the Friday Night Airfarce spot (Fri 8pm, CBC)
Tickets: $75 - Dinner and Show (taxes included)
Coming off the filming of an unprecedented fifth CBC-TV comedy special, Canada’s busiest and best-selling comedian RON JAMES takes to the road with a new "gut-bustingly, knee-slappingly funny" 90-minute rant MENTAL AS ANYTHING.
Whether wrestling with society’s accelerated rate of change, stumbling on nostril drooling bull moose during forest hikes, or experiencing the virtues of backyard composting and its promise of immortality, James brings a ‘foot soldier’s perspective from the trenches’ in our collective march through Life’s bright fury.
From camping in leaky canvas-walled tent trailers in that idyllic summer of 1969 … to a man at the crossroads of mid-life, James traces a trajectory across the landscape of contemporary culture, satirizing everything from button-down-rule-righteous life insurance agents to sanctimonious eco-freaks ... just ‘connecting the dots’ while trying his best to clarify the chaos of this new century we’re all walking through before he goes "Mental As Anything" himself!
Thursday July 23rd - Back for a 2nd Show!! Tickets: $65 - Dinner and Show (taxes included)

Country music has by tradition offered itself as a haven to the hard drinking, hard living misfits, who fought their way back to the light. Julian Austin is one of these – a maverick, renegade, rebel and after a lifetime of struggles has now earned the respected title of “The Bad Boy With The Big Heart” of country music.
Julian Austin started writing songs at the age of 13 and at 15 he took his dad's guitar out of the closet and started to learn how to play. While learning how to perfect his craft in both playing and writing he realized music was going to be his lifelong soul mate and without a doubt his destiny, he’s never looked back since.
For the past 25 years Julian has gone through many changes in his music, from heavy metal to rock to 80’s pop and eventually to his love for country music.
Tickets: $70.00 Dinner and Show (taxes included) Special - $5 per ticket discount for 8 or more tickets

Mike Mandel - Award winner and widely regarded as the World's Greatest Hypnotist!
Wednesday September 16th, 2009
Mike Mandel's Hypnosis show is best described as "Comedy Meets High-Velocity Trance". Using nothing more than the power of suggestion and his rapier wit, Mike guides his volunteers through increasingly ludicrous mental excursions, each displaying a brilliant sense of imagination and creativity.
They may fish for sharks, shovel snow from the stage, or discover that their clothing is inside-out, incredibly all while they are wide awake!
Typically working with up to thirty volunteers from the audience, Mike Mandel is able to cause otherwise rational people to see, do, and believe, totally ridiculous things! Mike consistently provides an energetic, fascinating and hilarious demonstration of the incredible faculties of the human mind.
Only $65 - Dinner and Show!
"Mike was fantastic - he has just gotten better, if that is possible. I have received many e-mails and phone calls from people who attended the show, and nothing but fantastic reviews!" - Barrie Construction Association
"Mandel is an intellectual and emotional arsonist, both igniting the spirit and enlightening the soul." - Algoma University

You can go ahead and just dance to the music of George Canyon, if that's what you want. He's a country neo-traditionalist par excellence, producing music situated somewhere between the bright and studio-tooled Nashville ideal and something a little older, with a voice that can soar with emotion or linger in a heavy bottom-end that feels like a kick in the chest from a faith healer. It's instant.
When you see the man, with piercing eyes that hang above his square jaw, the star appeal becomes even more obvious, and you remember all those achievements – the string of hits, a shelf-full of Junos and Canadian Country Music Awards, not to mention his rocket-ride to American fame on Nashville Star 2 in 2004, and the subsequent blockbuster albums One Good Friend, and Somebody Wrote Love.
