Steel Magnolias

A classic story of friendship, family–and hair.

Women are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel. This classic play tells the story of Truvy’s in-home beauty parlor and the women who frequent it. As the women confront their own unique challenges, they rely on their friendship to get them through some of the hardships of life: health, family, religion, and relationships.

Let Me Explain

A Green Light Arts' Production at the Cameo Capitol Arts Centre

A hilarious night of songs, satire, and personal stories.

Izad Etemadi has spent most of his life explaining himself to others: his ethnicity, his sexuality, the pronunciation of his name. But as an elder-millennial dealing with back pain and digestive issues, he doesn’t have the time or energy to keep explaining things. This queer Iranian-Canadian immigrant born in Germany is going to attempt to explain his entire existence in 60-ish minutes, so he never has to do it again.

Originally founded in 2015, the Canal Pursuit began as a solo 785 km run by Clay Williams along the full length of the Trent-Severn and Rideau Canals—Port Severn to Ottawa—averaging an incredible 90 km per day. Since then, it has grown into a province-wide initiative that has raised more than $150,000 and inspired thousands to speak up, seek help, and support mental health programs in their communities. Now we are hosting small events all over to help spread awareness !
