Lynn Miles Art House Music Concert

$35 + HST
One of Canada’s greatest songwriters, Juno Award winning and internationally acclaimed will be
playing for us at the Art House Music Series.
Lynn Miles has the kind of voice that is impossible not to fall in love with. She’s been blessed with
such a drop-dead beautiful honey smooth voice that rides along the ebb and flow of a gifted sense of
melody. She’s the kind of lyricist that renders whatever heartache you feel into something both
beautiful and aching. She also is extremely funny. Like she’s carrying an antedate to inject you with
between songs to cure you of the snake bite.

The Play That Goes Wrong
2026-05-07 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-05-08 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-05-09 19:30 - 21:30 | Town Hall Auditorium, 175 Bridge Street, Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada
The Play That Goes Wrong is a fast-paced farce about an amateur theatre troupe attempting to stage a 1920s murder mystery—with disastrously hilarious results. From collapsing sets and missing props to forgotten lines and mistimed sound effects, everything that can go wrong does.
Directed by long-time MUDDS veterans, Sylvia Giles and Chris Jones, ticket holders are in for a treat! Audiences will enjoy the physical comedy, clever wordplay, surprise twists, and the sheer chaos of live theatre on the brink of disaster. This ‘play within a play’ is a joyful celebration of imperfection that keeps viewers laughing from the first accident to the final curtain.
No refunds or exchanges after May 2.
