“ABD with Mark the C” Fundraiser for St. Lawrence Writers Festival
2025-11-01 19:30 - 21:30 | The Arts Hub Brockville, 32 Park Street, Brockville
Get ready for our first fundraiser for the September 2026 festival. We’re super stoked to announce the show “ABD with Mark the C” on November 1. By the way, ADB stands for Allistonian Brockvillian Dionysian – try saying that three times fast.
The Flying Dutchman wasn’t just a legendary ghost ship, but also the name of a motel six miles west of Brockville on Highway 2, where you could find the Lost Highway Lounge and a Saturday Night Fever-inspired disco dance floor.
It was owned by the Cassidy family, whose son Mark was the weekend DJ – Mark the C, the vinyl king. The motel may be long gone, but Mark’s memories remain. Inspired by Spalding Gray, Mark created theatre pieces with his indie company Threshold Theatre.
Catch him in “ABD with Mark the C” at Arts Hub Brockville on Nov 1. Mark’s navigating his memories of growing up at the Flying Dutchman, so don’t miss the hilarious ride. Reviews say his storytelling is like Stuart Maclean’s, but we think he’s even funnier.

Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery
Get your deerstalker cap on – the play’s afoot! Comedic genius Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) transforms Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic The Hound of the Baskervilles into a murderously funny adventure.
Sherlock Holmes is on the case. The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being dispatched one by one. To find their ingenious killer, Holmes and Watson must brave the desolate moors before a family curse dooms its newest heir. Does a wild hellhound prowl the moors of Devonshire? Can our heroes discover the truth in time?
Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than forty characters. Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be.

Upperhand Underground presents ‘Legends Never Die’ March Mayhem Rockshow
2026-03-07 19:00 | Brockville Arts Hub – St. John United Church, 32 Park St,, Brockville, Ontario, Canada
Upperhand Underground presents ‘Legends Never Die’ March Mayhem Rockshow this Saturday, March 7th, at Arts Hub Brockville, a follow-up to the community initiative’s sold-out January showcase.
The event will feature three bands, including ‘Undefeated” Capital Award–winning group Double Experience, nostalgic indie rock band The New Hires, and Ontario’s Got Talent 2025 champions Sun Dried Flies – in celebration of Upperhand Underground’s three year anniversary of promoting local & underground music.
Double Experience, Ottawa-based rock duo are set to headline March Mayhem, bringing a full-band performance worthy of a final boss encounter. Co-founded by Brockville native Brock Tinsley, the band’s journey began in local venues and festivals before expanding abroad through his former act, Colfax. That path eventually aligned with Ian Nichols, forming a duo that has since toured internationally while firmly establishing themselves within the capital city music scene.
Double Experience continues to gain worldwide attention, forging a large online following, and racking up millions of streams on music platforms.
The New Hires creative blend of 2000’s rock nostalgia and modern indie sounds continue to pack some of Ontario’s most notable venues, supporting acts such as JUNO award-winning artists JJ Wilde and Dear Rouge. The dapper 5-piece will be delivering a performance of anthemic ballads and high-energy rock songs.
Local legends, Sun Dried Flies hailing from Prescott have achieved incredible success in a short time, taking first place at Do It for Aaron Battle of the Bands (2024) Ontario’s Got Talent (2025), and more. The band are bringing their signature chaotic energy with a modern grunge-inspired rock performance to kick off the show.
Don’t Miss ‘Legends Never Die’ March Mayhem Rockshow this Saturday, March 7th, at Arts Hub Brockville.
The doors open at 7:00 pm with the show beginning at 8:00 pm. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at door.
You can purchase tickets online at or www.upperhandunderground.com/tickets or locally at Pau Hana Coffee in Downtown Brockville.
