As summer temps continue to soar, things are also heating up at Theatre Burlington, with rehearsals underway for our first production of the 2025-26 season and the launch of a new website.

“The Birds and the Bees” by Mark Crawford tells the story of newly divorced Sarah who moves in with her mother, Gail.  But Gail has other things on her mind; why do her honeybees keep dying, what’s the deal with her flirtatious neighbour Earl, and what’s the secret the idealistic Masters student Ben is hiding.  

This comedy examines all types of relationships and will leave your heart feeling full.

Directed by Francesca Brugnano and produced by Michelle Spanik, “The Birds and the Bees” is the first production of our all-Canadian playbill.  The show runs from October 17 to November 1st.

The cast includes Julie Donoahue as Gail, Raymond Beauchemin as Earl, Heather Nutt as Sarah and Jeff Nguyen as Ben.  Collectively this group of actors has almost 40 years of experience, but it’s their first time on stage with Theatre Burlington.

Meantime, as rehearsals continue, techies have been working behind the scenes prepping our new and improved website.

It’s much easier to navigate, with more pictures and graphics, lots of information about the upcoming season, how to order tickets, and ways to become a member of the Theatre Burlington family. 

Season tickets are always available, and this year there are a number of options to choose from.  The box office will open for individual ticket sales today (August 5th).  Please check out our new website at theatreburlington.on.ca  or call the box office at 905-639-7700.

The Theatre Burlington Drama Centre is located on Teen Tour Way, behind the Central Park bandshell and beside Central Library.

Enjoy the unique Art In My Garden experience in old Oakville ! Free for all to enjoy, an afternoon to stroll the picturesque neighbourhood by the lake as up to 35 local homeowners host 70 Artists on their front lawns. 

This event is a celebration of our diverse creative community -  meet the artists and be inspired by the stories of their work, take part in artful interactions and contribute to our community art installation for 2025 called Hanging In Harmony. 

Don’t miss out - Save the date with family or friends for a relaxed afternoon - moments from the vibrant Downtown area on Lakeshore. Saturday 6th September 12-3pm. Updates and latest news on social media @artinmygarden or at www. artinmygarden.ca 

This year’s Art In My Garden exhibit will offer a unique opportunity to explore a vibrant and diverse collection of original art by almost 70 local artists.  Set amidst the tree-lined lawns of Old Oakville - just steps south of the bustling downtown shops - the exhibit promises an inspiring open-air art experience. With the addition of 25 new artists this year, the showcase will feature an expanded range of artistic expression, including paintings, textiles, mosaics, and sculptures and letterpress fun for all ages.

Now in its 5th year, artist and founder Rachel Williams is introducing a new community feature to include more people in the exhibit: Hanging in Harmony.  Volunteer artists of all ages and abilities paint a 10” x 10” canvas interpreting the theme "What Is The Art In Your Garden”.  The resulting installation, a striking patchwork of personal perspectives, will be on display on Navy Street during the event. As Rachel explains, “Art has the power to pull us together, and this new installation is a visual expression of our perspectives - woven with belonging, and rooted in community”.

In 2024, more than 1,500 visitors enjoyed an afternoon of art, nature, and connection - and we’re anticipating an even greater turnout this year.

Art In My Garden is made possible through the generous support of our lead sponsors Chervin Kitchen & Bath, Niblock Avis Real Estate, Pine Glen Homes and Proscape Land Design, the Oakville Arts Council - as well as our Community and Support Partners. 

For more information and a map of the participating homes, visit artinmygarden.ca.  Printed maps will also be available and distributed on the day of the event.
