Métis playwright Keith Barker's moving family drama tells a tale of resilience on stage with the help of a mystical fox standing in for the cyclical nature of traumatic loss and grief. How his characters handle their frustrations at losing a young loved one to depression without any concrete answers feels like a true to life mirror of many unfortunate realities. It's a special piece filled with heartfelt humour and unexpected laughs about small-town life in Ontario.

Cast: Gordon Patrick White and Tasha Faye Evans.

Running live on stage until Apr. 28. [sponsored]

Drifting past Gum Field por Kevin Madore Por Flickr: Cass Scenic Railroad's 103-ton Shay Number 11 whistles the Logging Road Crossing at Gum Field (MP 2.9), as she drifts downhill between the Second and First Switchbacks on Cass Hill, with a log train. Number 11 is a transplant to the Eastern United States, having operated on the west coast from 1923 until 1965. She served both the Hutchinson Lumber Company and the Feather River Railway before ending up as a static display in a museum in San Diego in 1967. Nearly 30 years later, she was acquired by Cass Scenic Railroad and restored for use on their excursion trains, where she can be found today. Cass Shay #11, formerly Feather River #3, actually has a sister locomotive that is still in existence in the form of Feather River #2 which is now lettered for the Sierra Railroad at the Railtown 1897 State Historical Park in Jamestown, California. This image was captured during a 2009 photo shoot at Cass Scenic Railroad, organized by Carl Franz.

Out of town for the week. There's a Railtown nearby that I'm hoping to see while I'm here.
