Kieran Crocker is William Mitchell in "A Family Affair" October 25-26 (7pm) at the St James and St John United Church Centre.
With an easy smile and a relaxed disposition, it's easy to see why Will is such a charming gentlemen, but can his good nature withstand the trials that come from a single harsh truth?

Our thanks to the Rural Community of Miramichi River Valley, for inviting us to participate in yesterday, and share tales of the Dungarvon Whooper with the crowd.
Is it a Man? A ghost? A wild animal? We look forward to exploring the mystery further in the months to come.
Taylor Lavigne is Jacob Carvell Gough in "A Family Affair" October 25-26 (7pm) at the St James and St John United Church Centre.
Jacob's star is rising, in business and politics. He gives every indication that he'll surpass his mother's hopes, and his step-father's shadow, but looks can be deceiving.

We are honoured to present this show, for the fine folks in Albert County, this Fall. It was an enriching experience to chat with so many people from the older generation, and gather their stories for the stage. Special thanks to the Albert County Historical Society, for entrusting us with this project. Made possible by the New Horizons For Seniors program from the Government of Canada.
"Tall Trees & Fresh Fields'' is a heartwarming comedy about two brothers living in Albert County, NB in the first part of the 20th century. Their stories of living a simple life off the land are sure to bring a chuckle and maybe even a tear or two.โ
