Unveiling Victoria Playhouse Petrolia’s

promises not just stellar performances
but an aptly titled ‘A Rush of Excitement’
as the upcoming theatre season unfolds
a diverse array of productions that

to be a captivating journey through time
showcasing the resilience and spirit of
the community that thrived amidst the
black gold boom. Audiences can expect
a visually stunning performance full of
amusing characters and some fine knee

performs a beautifully curated selection
of Lightfoot’s greatest hits immersing
patrons in the nostalgia and musical
brilliance of a true Canadian folk hero.
