Presented by Theatre Unlimited Performing Arts

“The most phantasmagorical stage musical in the history of everything”, is coming to Meadowvale Theatre. The imaginative story of an eccentric inventor, Carrctacus Potts, his enchanting children Jeremy and Jemima, their truly scrumptious friend Truly Scrumptious and their adventures with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the magical car as it sets sail and flies the skies. When the evil Baron Bombast hears of the incredible automobile, he and his Baroness will stop at nothing, until they have Chitty for themselves. The musical is based on a 1968 movie. Ian Fleming (of James Bond Fame) wrote the original novel so of course there are spies. A family favourite, sure to delight. Filled with amazing stage spectacle and unforgettable songs, including the Academy Award-Nominated title song, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a high-flying fun filled adventure for the entire family.

Beauty And Resilience: Petra Zantingh
2026-03-11 01:11
Inspired by the dichotomy of urban and natural landscapes and the many contrasts in life, the exhibit features paintings of fading and hardy flowers reflecting subtle layers of emotional expression, of fragility and strength.

An opening reception for the show will take place on Sunday, May 7th, from 2:00–4:00 pm, offering a chance to meet the artist in person. Remarks are at approximately 2:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
Botanicals, trees, roots, and vegetation are common subjects in her work because of their profound and enigmatic spiritual and physical nature. Produced on wood panels, the works use water, watercolour, ink, and water-soluble graphite. Relying on the fragile and mysterious relationship between water and pigment, the process requires patient manipulation to achieve transparent layers that create subtle nuances. In producing her paintings, Zantingh has an inkling of what will develop, but the outcome is often a surprise.
