Mysteries of the Keyhole House
Created and Performed by Grand Illusionists and
Hollywood Headliners: The Outerbridges
Masters of illusion, Ted and Marion Outerbridge, Mysteries of the Keyhole House will take you on a magical and historical journey of their own personal experiences in the Keyhole House.
This production is based on a true story about the once dilapidated historic home that the Outerbridges now happily share with spirits of yesteryear, and which they lovingly call The Keyhole House, so named for its grand keyhole arched entryway (what magician doesn’t love a keyhole and its portal to the otherworldly?!).
Ted’s masterful video-logues about restoring the Keyhole House, the historical artifacts found, and friendly hauntings have gone viral with over 30 million views on TikTok and appearances on CTV National News, a TVO documentary, and NBC’s The Golf Channel (Brooke Henderson’s grandparents had a 54-year connection to the house).
These videos and the true stories they tell birthed Mysteries of the Keyhole House, a simultaneously reverent, mystical, and joyous show, where magic becomes the master storyteller. Audiences will be transported through time as Ted and Marion Outerbridge take them through an evening of enthralling illusions, theatre and dance, creating a spine-tingling spectacle of living history. It’s more than just magic!

Einstein!
Einstein! Celebrating 100 Years of General Relativity
This multi-award winning and critically acclaimed show, written and starring Jack Fry, brings Einstein back from beyond, frustrated that no one has heard the real science history behind General Relativity.
Albert takes us back to Berlin in 1914 where he is sent sideways in a world crumbling around him due to the Great War, a science establishment that doesn’t believe him, those that do try to wrestle the theory away from. He is being isolated for his pacifist views, has a wife who won’t give him a divorce, faces a huge scientific backlash, anti-Semitism, a 10-year old son fighting for his affections, and finally a nervous breakdown that lay him bed ridden for two whole months.
Told with humour, 3D graphics that help give us an insight to his brilliant mind, Albert Einstein comes to life as Jack Fry revitalizes one of the most intriguing icons of all time.
It is funny, touching and a true triumph!
