Johnny Belinda

Wednesday
July 23, 2025
5:30 p.m.

Dr. Robert Richardson, a dedicated young general practitioner, seeks to establish himself in an isolated fishing village on Cape Breton Island off the Nova Scotia coast. The population is poor, and the struggling physician generally gets paid for his efforts in barter. When he meets Belinda MacDonald, a young deaf mute callously dismissed by family and neighbors as "the dummy", he alone senses her innate intelligence. He overcomes the initial skepticism of her flinty, gruff father and indifferently cold aunt, who operate a hardscrabble grist mill and farm, and devotes himself to teaching the young girl sign language and lip-reading. Hopes are even raised that she might eventually qualify for a medical procedure that might improve her condition. Her optimism is crushed, however, when she raped by Locky McCormick, a brutish local fisherman. Traumatized, she is unable to communicate the outrage to her family, who are baffled and angry when they learn she is pregnant. The local gossips blame the doctor, and he and the MacDonalds become pariahs, unable to earn a living in the provincial village. Matters come to a head when McCormick and his new wife pressure the local council to declare Belinda an unfit mother and assign them as the baby's legal guardians.

Paddington Bear

Sunday
July 27, 2025
5:00 p.m.

A young Peruvian bear with a passion for all things British travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined--until he meets the kind Brown family, who read the label around his neck ('Please look after this bear. Thank you.') and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist.

We strive to honour the rich history of this building in our programming and renovations, while also building toward a vibrant future!


The Souris Show Hall is a 148 seat theatre with a semi-circular stage. The venue is wheelchair accessible via a ramp, with one accessible washroom. We are not currently licensed, but you are able to purchase non-alcoholic beverages and snacks at our concession area in the lobby. 

Most of our performances begin at 7:30, unless otherwise noted and seating is done by general admission. Doors open a half hour before the performance. Come early, grab a snack and a 50/50 ticket and support our local Show Hall!
