Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy Grave Admission, our newest production and the beginning of what we hope will be a series of plays exploring the history of Kingston as it relates to St. Andrew's Church, Skeleton Park and the founding of Queen's University.
The show was a terrific success thanks to the support of the Skeleton Park Festival and the Kingston Arts Council.
Here are a few shots from the show:

Sir  John,  EH?  The  Road  Show  Returns  Home  To  Kingston  
After  Cross  CANADA  Tour  

This year, our actors took Sir John, Eh? The Road Show from coast to coast.  On their way West, the actors visited schools and community centres, historical sites and even an olympic venue. They explored the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of Sir John A. Macdonald's legacy.  

Once they got to the West Coast, our actors hopped on VIA RAIL all the way to the Maritimes, entertaining VIA RAIL's passengers with stories about the man who made their trip possible nearly 130 years earlier. 

Learn more about this year's trip, our 2015 show, and about SALON Theatre's education initiatives:
