Little Lorraine
Tuesday
June 23, 2026
10:00 p.m.
In a remote corner of the North Atlantic, a group of friends fall down on their luck after their coal mining jobs dissolve due to a major fire. In a
moment of questionable good luck, they get hired by our hero’s uncle to come work on his lobster boat. With money in their pockets and food on the table, the monotony of pulling up lobster pots turns upside down when the catch turns from lobster to bricks of hash, and later, kilos of cocaine. Soon, relationships get tested by outsiders and each other after an anonymous tip to Federal Agents brings an undercover officer to
the otherwise sleepy town. The friends have to decide whether to stay the course or run for their lives before the paranoid and suspicious Uncle Huey turns from ship’s captain to undertaker.
Singing in the Rain
Wednesday
June 24, 2026
5:00 p.m.
Celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly’s Singin’ in the Rain is both a timeless exemplar of the musical genre and a nostalgic behind-the-scenes parody of classical Hollywood. The film follows a hapless trio of silent film performers struggling to adapt to the coming of sound, propelled by Gene Kelly’s boundless energy, Debbie Allen’s infectious charm, and Donald O'Connor’s underappreciated slapstick chops. Naturally, they prevail by being themselves and reconnecting with the joy of dance, song, and comedy, including famous numbers like “Be a Clown,” not to mention the iconic title song sequence.

Vishtèn & Louis Michot
Tuesday
June 30, 2026
10:30 p.m.
An unmissable opportunity to experience the breadth and depth of Francophone musical traditions in North America with PEI/Magdalen Islands band Vishtèn and Grammy-winning Cajun fiddler Louis Michot visiting from Louisiana.
Vishtèn is an award-winning Acadian group from PEI and the Magdalen Islands, known for their fiery blend of tradition and innovation. After the loss of co-founder Pastelle LeBlanc, bandmates Emmanuelle LeBlanc and Pascal Miousse embraced resilience and expansion, welcoming back longtime collaborator Megan Bergeron to continue their musical journey.
Louis Michot is best known as the fiddle player and lead-singer for the Grammy award winning Lost Bayou Ramblers, but his passion for Louisiana French and local folklore, and sustainability in the fastest disappearing landmass in the world are what fuels his career as a musician. With over 20 LPs under his belt, his music career continues to push the boundaries of the Louisiana French music traditions
Maggie's Wake
Friday
July 3, 2026
10:30 p.m.
Maggie's Wake is a Canadian “new trad” female-fronted folk group creating an exciting splash in the roots music scene serving up an electrifying fusion of Celtic tradition with roots swagger. Expect driving jigs and reels, whistles, double fiddle, flashes of country twang not to mention Cajun/global roots twists that’s pure joy from start to finish.
United in their passion for fiery tunes, soaring vocals and poignant storytelling, these 2025 CFMA winners embrace their wide ranging influences and have built an exciting, new sound. The acclaimed band features award winning songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Tara Dunphy (The Rizdales, Luther Wright and the Wrongs) and award winning violinist/fiddler/songwriter & composer Lindsay Schindler (Rant Maggie Rant, Trent Severn), backed by powerhouses Andrew Kosty on bass and Kenneth Palmer on guitar.
Dale Watson, the Texas honky tonk legend, says "You can't grow if you rip your roots out of the ground" and Maggie's Wake have taken that to heart. They are honouring tradition while forging their own path in roots music.
Maggie's Wake will deliver an afternoon workshop at the St. Peter's Courthouse Theatre at 1 pm. There is an option to purchase tickets to both the workshop & concert for $45 (a $10 discount).

VENUE
The Souris Show Hall was built by the Benevolent Irish Society in 1891 and has delighted audiences ever since. In 1916 the Souris Show Hall began screening silent films, and the venue served as a community cinema for many years during the 20th century.
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!
