The Blue Castle, a Musical – The Historic Leaskdale Church
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of L.M. Montgomery’s beloved 1926 romance, Ryleepuss productions is pleased to present an original musical production of The Blue Castle at the Historic Leaskdale Church. This enchanting story follows Valancy Stirling, a “plain Jane” trapped by a stifling family and a life of “should-nots.” After receiving life-altering news, Valancy courageously decides to live on her own terms, finding adventure, friendship and an unexpected, rebellious love, in the Ontario wilderness. Heartfelt, humorous, and soaring with melody, this production honours Montgomery’s most mature love story, and reminds us it’s never too late to seek out a “Blue Castle” of our dreams. Tickets can be purchased ONLINE at Starticketing.com or contact us at 905-862-0808
