2025-05-10 19:00, 2025-05-11 14:00 | The Arts Hub Brockville, 32 Park Street, Brockville
Meg has more than one story to tell, and she’s sure to tickle your funny bone. Set in the Rosewood Retirement Home, octogenarian Meg Miller loves to recall the days she spent growing up in the Ottawa Valley back in the 1950s and ’60s.
Written by storyteller/author Deborah Dunleavy, Meg Miller’s Shenanigans column appears regularly in the South Grenville Beacon newspaper. In her live presentation, audiences hear all about Meg’s monkey business – from her driving adventure in the back fields, to the time her toy rocket misfired.
Meg Miller’s Shenanigans LIVE is being held on Saturday, May 10th at 7:00 pm and Sunday, May 11th at 2:00 pm at Arts Hub Brockville, St. John’s United Church, 32 Park St., Brockville.
Admission is $25 at the door; cash only. Seating is limited; call to reserve a ticket at 613-498-3122
Joining Deborah are musicians Pat Johnson on guitar and mandolin, and Billy MacInnis on fiddle. The musical styles mirror 50s and 60s tunes from the Ottawa Valley, including Eddy Arnold’s “Cuddle Buggin’ Baby” and Hank Williams “Hey Good Lookin”.
For years, Deborah has entertained audiences with her stories and characters, notably Bea Tompkins in At The Canoe Club Dance and several characters in Battlefield Petticoats – Women in the War of 1812. She has performed nationally from Labrador to Vancouver Island and internationally to Ireland, Scotland, the People’s Republic of China, and Singapore.
Enjoy Meg Miller’s Shenanigans – a light-hearted romp guaranteed to make you leave with a smile in your heart.
