Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery

Presented by the Brockville Theatre Guild

The Brockville Theatre Guild is proud to present:
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.
Show times:

Friday, March 6 @ 7:30 pm
Saturday, March 7 @ 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm

Special pricing available for Youths (18 & Under).
Complimentary tickets available for support workers on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets must be reserved in advance. Please contact the box office at 1-877-342-7122 to book.

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.

Social Local 65 Presents Rob Moir and Tim Vantnol
2026-05-09 19:00 | Social Local 65, 65 King St E, Unit 1, Brockville
We’re hosting a strictly limited, 20-seat live show — the kind where you’re not just watching, you’re in it. Close enough to feel every lyric, every story, every moment.
Featuring:
Tim Vantol – High-energy, emotional folk-punk that turns rooms into singalongs. A seasoned international touring artist who leaves everything on the stage.
Rob Moir – One of Toronto’s most engaging songwriters — sharp, funny, and quietly devastating in all the right ways.
This isn’t a big venue. There’s no back row. No hiding. Just 20 people sharing something real.
And truthfully — nights like this don’t happen by accident.
Over the past few years, we’ve put a lot into supporting artists and building something meaningful here. We’ve opened the doors, taken chances, and made space for live music to exist locally in a way that feels different.
But nights like this only continue if people actually show up for them.
If we can’t fill a 20-seat room for something this special, it becomes really hard to keep doing it.
So if this resonates with you — don’t sit this one out.
Tickets are available — just message us to reserve your spot.
Only 20 seats. No extras. No last-minute squeeze-ins.
Be in the room.
