Buzz Collins has been leaving audiences mesmerized for over 30 years now – from the resorts of the Caribbean to multiple headlining runs at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas.
 
Much of Buzz’s schedule is filled with corporate engagements. However, in light of recent events throughout the world, he wanted to create an entertainment experience for all audiences that would showcase how connected we truly are. How our similarities far outweigh our differences is the theme that’s inspired his new stage show, “Connections."
 
Truly a display of mystifying mental phenomena, Buzz’s performances are filled with laughter and unforgettable moments where audience members become a part of what can only be described as a mind bending experience! 
 
Despite a sometimes intense performance schedule that takes Buzz to locales throughout Canada and the US, he can also be heard weekday mornings as host of the Rock 107 Morning Buzz in Belleville, Ontario.
 
“Easily one of the best!”
~ Mike Morse – V Theater, Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas
 
"Buzz’s impact was simply brilliant. He is clearly a genius at what he does… His show was by far the best part of our day. I've never laughed so hard in my life."   
~ Julie Jarvo - St. Lawrence Parks Commission – Ontario, Canada
 
"Buzz gave us more laughs than we’ve ever experienced at any of our company functions!"
 ~Terri Fallon - 3M/Treo Solutions, Troy, NY
 
“A smash hit! Tasteful and appropriate for the crowd, but still delivered with an edge!!”
~Darryl Salisbury - SaskPower, Regina

The second Movies at the MAC fall film...

THE LIFE OF CHUCK

Playing Friday, November 14th at 2pm and 7pm!

The Life of Chuck (2024) is a hauntingly beautiful and deeply human fantasy-drama directed and written by Mike Flanagan, based on the novella by Stephen King. Released in the United States in 2025, the film stars Tom Hiddleston as Charles "Chuck" Krantz, alongside a powerhouse ensemble including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Mark Hamill, Jacob Tremblay, and narrated by Nick Offerman.

Told in reverse chronology, the film unfolds over three interconnected acts that trace Chuck’s life backward - from his mysterious death amid a collapsing world, to a surreal dance on a rooftop, and finally to his poignant childhood shaped by love, curiosity, and imagination. Flanagan, best known for his horror work, pivots here toward a genre-defying tale that is more meditative and existential. With its blend of magical realism and heartfelt performances, this film lingers long after the credits roll.

Rated R for language. Learn more about this film's content rating here.

Regular tickets are $13.00 (HST included)
Youth tickets are $6.99 (HST included)

Or purchase tickets as part of a Fall Film Pass for $30 +HST!

Three award-winning singer-songwriters bring seasonal joy...

BOREAL: 
SONGS FOR THE SNOWY SEASON

Playing on Saturday, November 22nd at 7pm
 
Boreal is a rare musical collaboration between three acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriters—Tannis Slimmon, Katherine Wheatley, and Angie Nussey—who come together to form a group greater than the sum of its parts. Each artist brings a distinct musical voice: Katherine’s warm guitar-driven storytelling, Tannis’s earthy folk rooted in mandolin and percussion, and Angie’s emotionally textured keyboard and vocals. One draws from sacred, ethereal sounds, one from velvet-toned folk traditions, and one from the raw, untamed spirit of rock and soul.

Rather than featuring a single frontwoman, Boreal thrives on shared spotlight and mutual creativity. With over 15 solo albums among them, they handpick and reimagine their strongest material through rich, unconventional harmonies and dynamic arrangements. Their performances balance delicate beauty with vocal fireworks, drawing audiences in with emotional depth, humour, and impeccable musicianship.

In the words of four-time Juno Award-winning songwriter David Francey:
“I’ll give you three good reasons for catching Boreal in concert. There are three wonderful writers in this band, and three beautiful voices. That’s two reasons. The third is the magic that happens when these three women combine those wonderful songs and voices on stage. Each brings their own brilliance to the whole. Magical’s the word. I was transported.”

Boreal first came together in 2006 with a shared vision for Songs for the Snowy Season, a winter-themed show that quickly blossomed into an annual touring tradition across Ontario. Their first album, Winter’s Welcome, followed in 2014. In 2019, after founding member Jude Vadala retired, Angie Nussey joined the group, contributing her own distinctive and creative flair. 

Their latest release, Winterbirds (March 2025), grew from long-distance collaboration into a powerful creative retreat—three immersive weeks writing and recording at Les Stroud’s home studio near Huntsville, Ontario. The album includes nine originals and a tender Gordon Lightfoot cover, all marked by harmony, heart, and the unmistakable chemistry of a band that listens deeply to each other.

Since the release, Boreal has toured widely across Ontario and Manitoba, bringing Winterbirds to festivals and theatres including Guelph’s Hillside Festival and Owen Sound’s Summerfolk. With a year-round touring schedule and ever-evolving musical synergy, Boreal continues to connect with audiences through powerful storytelling, shared artistry, and unforgettable live shows.

“Boreal graced our Acoustic Harvest stage with a brilliant, inspiring and memorable evening of beautiful song and glorious harmonies. They are truly Canadian treasures and we are so blessed to have them enriching our lives.” 
- Lillian Wauthier (Artistic Director - Acoustic Harvest, Toronto, ON) 

“With stunningly beautiful voices, Boreal captures the festive spirit like no other act I’ve ever presented. With exquisitely intricate harmonies and heartwarming stories, Boreal connects with their audience in a profound way. Our show was a sellout and we immediately booked them for next season! Highly recommended!”
- George Scott (Songwriter’s Showcase Presenter, Alliston and Beeton, ON)

"The Boreal show was one of the highlights of our concert series for much of our audience. The trio’s fantastic harmonies and effortless delivery from the stage instantly connects them with the audience, transforming our concert hall into a cozy living room for the entire show. "
- John Payne (Artistic Director - Tour de Fort, Fort Francis, ON)
