SUMMARY:Alone in the Dark - Cumberland Heritage Village Museum
DESCRIPTION:This immersive guided paranormal investigation invites participants to explore a series of historic buildings after dark\, including a church\, schoolhouse\, train station and family home. Led by experienced hosts\, the experience incorporates both traditional and modern investigative techniques\, encouraging observation and personal interpretation. Designed for curious participants\, this small-group experience offers a quiet\, atmospheric alternative to conventional tours. \nThis is not a ghost tour. It is a guided paranormal investigation\, and YOU are part of it. Over two hours\, we’ll explore four heated heritage buildings: the old church\, the schoolhouse\, the train station\, and the family home. With the village closed to the public and only a handful of guests exploring after dark\, the experience feels immersive\, quietly eerie\, and far removed from an ordinary night out. \nAlong the way\, our expert hosts will guide you through paranormal experiments using both ancient and modern techniques. You will listen closely. You will observe carefully. You will decide for yourself what\, if anything\, still lingers there. \nSome guests come for the thrill. Some for the atmosphere. Some because they have always been curious about what they cannot explain. What they share is curiosity and the willingness to find out. Nothing is staged. Nothing is guaranteed. That is what makes Alone in the Dark so compelling. \n4 nights remain. \nSpaces are limited. Reserve your spot now. Nights are few. Participants must be 16+. Choose curiosity over fear.

SUMMARY:An intimate tale of waiting (NAC French Theatre)
DESCRIPTION:Bilingual French Theatre production presented by NAC French Theatre. Three theatrical stars sparkle in a rare alignment: a brilliant director\, a radiant actress and the Sun herself\, Annie Ernaux\, the masterful chronicler of anonymous others. Using her pen as a scalpel\, she dissects a heart consumed by passion: her own. \nMany of us have read and reread the work of literature Nobel prize winner Ernaux\, but how many of us have ever heard it performed on stage? Unyielding theatrical mastermind Brigitte Haentjens has invited the stellar Julie Le Breton to channel the voice of this unique French author. On stage\, a woman waits hours\, day\, weeks by the phone. She is expecting a call from her Lover\, a married foreign diplomat. Between the ecstasy of ephemeral lovemaking and the despair of absence\, she observes her own fall from grace with stunning lucidity. The language is sharp and cutting\, with occasional delicate sprinkles of humour. \nTo experience this intimate\, autobiographical tale with sensitivity\, the audience must suspend all moral judgment and accept that they will see the author of Se perdre launch herself\, body and soul\, into the maw of two impetuous monsters: loving and writing.
