Performing & Visual Arts

We are super pleased, and excited to formally announce this special event.
FRIDAY OCTOBER 4th, 2024 (19+)
Tumblestone will be teaming up with Black Pirates Pub, family, friends, artists, musicians, businesses and some of our Tumblestone sponsors… To host a benefit for Northern Reach Network.
Northern Reach Network is truly doing the lord’s work. They do so much, for so many, with so little, and their compassion, determination really sets precedence, and tugs on the heartstrings.
Their mission is to care for the animals in world we live in, from relocating animals from over-populated communities in need, to supplying northern Ontario communities with food/pet care items and by supporting spay/neuter clinics. At Northern Reach, they strive to set an example for compassion and care for animals as well as the people who love them.
Working with remote northern Ontario community volunteers, they fly in dogs to Thunder Bay, where they are temporarily fostered before going to reputable dog rescue groups to be adopted.

We all are teaming up to help this volunteer-run organization raise funds to crush their current fundraiser campaign, and continue to help these sweet little helpless creatures, that so many do so much for.

Joining us for this special event, will be:
Reckless Abandon
Forever Dead
Bird Brain
B The Wiz

We like to ask our extended family and friends to help us, help this organization help those Pups, and kitties, of all ages.

Invite some friends, and if you can… support directly by coming out, and/or at the event.
There will be raffles at the event, to raise as much as we can for this organization. We have received many great items for prizes… and will be posting some of them shortly.

Thank you kindly to the people, and caring local businesses that donated, and/or gave items for this cause/special event.

RELAXED PERFORMANCE: This Relaxed Performance is designed to welcome patrons who may benefit from a less restricted audience environment. Patrons of all abilities are welcome, including but not limited to those with intellectual or learning disabilities, sensory processing conditions, or autism. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement within the auditorium, and some minor production changes may be made to reduce the intensity of light, sound, and other potentially startling effects. A low-sensory area will be accessible if the performance becomes overwhelming. Babes in arms and service animals are also welcome to our relaxed performance. For anyone who would not enjoy this relaxed audience environment, we invite you to attend any other performances over the course of the run. * For accessible or student priced seating, please call the Box Office at (807) 345-5552.
