Here's what's happening on the Ridge
Christmas in Rosewood
December 10 & 11 at 7:30 pm
December 11 at 2 pm
Port Perry Anglican Church of the Ascension
266 North St., Port Perry
Join us for a staged reading of Peter Paylor’s Christmas in Rosewood!
Peter is becoming a favourite here in Port Perry as much as in his hometown of Belleville, Ontario. Audiences will remember Peter’s Wild Turkey Bingo, which premiered at the Snapshots Short Play Festival and also his The Grand To Do from our 2020 Something From Nothing summer season.
Christmas in Rosewood is a delightful comedy set in Peter’s quintessential “any small town” of Rosewood during a blizzard on Christmas Eve.
"I laughed more at this play than I have ever laughed at any play I've read before. And I’m surprised to be saying that because I’m a tough audience.” - Norm Foster
Tickets are $25 each.
Running Time – approximately 90 minutes with no intermission. General seating. All provincially mandated Covid protocols in effect, including the wearing of masks and proof of 2 vaccinations + 14 days with photo ID.
Friday, December 10, 7:30 pm - Good Availability
Saturday, December 11, 2 pm - Best Availability
Saturday, December 11, 7:30 pm - Good Availability

The First Read Club
held on the last Thursday of the month @ 7:30 pm
Scugog Arts Space
175B Queen St., Port Perry
No First Read Club in December - see you in January!
The First Read Club is an informal “book” club and a great way to get your theatre fix, connect with other theatre folk, and discover new plays as you become one of the company and explore the treasures and challenges that lie within the text of a play.
In a traditional first readthrough, the play is read aloud by the cast, with the full artistic and production teams listening in, and the production process begins! The words come alive, the director shares their vision of the playwright’s intention and the team begins the dialogue of how to fully realize the words they have just shared and take the play to the stage.
In the First Read Club, we welcome actors, audience members, production artists and lovers of the printed word to sit in, take part or just listen as artistic director, Carey Nicholson and company guests explore a new play each month.
Play selection will be determined based on the anticipated attendance each month and advance registration is required at least 24 hours in advance, which includes a minimum $5 donation to cover materials and refreshment costs.
The First Read Club takes place indoors at the Scugog Arts Space and all provincial and regional mandated Covid restrictions and protocols will be in place, including the wearing of masks and required proof of double vaccination. Attendance may be capped to comply with current Covid capacity restrictions.
