The Kingston Meistersingers are thrilled to present the most Tony-Award-Winning musical of all time, Mel Brooks' The Producers, November 17-20 and 24-27 at the Octave Theatre. The Producers chronicles the side-splitting adventures of Max Bialystock, a washed up Broadway producer who has fallen on hard times. Enter his nervous accountant, Leo Bloom, who makes him realize they could make more money with a flop than a hit… The catch? Their dud of a show, the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler", backfires and becomes an unexpected hit! Outlandishly funny and brazenly satirical, this show is guaranteed to make you laugh! Come and join The Kingston Meistersingers in a riotous and risque evening of entertainment! Tickets: Adult $30, Student/Youth $25. (Rated PG13 for adult humour.)

We're excited to announce the return of our Wrapped in Courage Pancake Breakfast presented by PenFinancial Credit Union on Thursday November 3rd at Market Square St. Catharines from 7-9 am.

Not only are we thrilled to be offering this popular breakfast again, we are celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Wrapped in Courage Campaign! For the last decade, #WrappedinCourage has been growing awareness of gender-based violence across Ontario through purple scarves. These scarves mean something different to everyone who wears them. Some wear a purple scarf during #WomanAbusePrevention month and the #16DaysofActivism to #EndGBV to show their support for local GBV services, while some are signaling to survivors that they are believed, valued and never alone.

With your $10 donation you will receive a Gillian's Place Wrapped in Courage Bracelet, pancakes, sausage, and coffee/tea.

With your $50 donation you will receive a limited-edition Canadian-made Wrapped in Courage scarf, a Gillian's Place Bracelet, pancakes, sausage, and coffee/tea.

** Gillian's Place only has a limited quantity of the anniversary scarf. Each scarf is unique.

Gillian's Place is a proud partner of United Way Niagara.
