(Gananoque – October 13, 2026) To pass him on the street you wouldn’t think he was anything but a meek, mild-mannered member of the local society. But like every superhero from Marvel comics, he carries with him a special power, a gift for art that puts a small-town man up there with the greats. David Day has been named the Rookie Sketch Artist of the Year by Topps for his debut in Garbage Pail Kids (GPK) trading cards 40th Anniversary Sets.

(Gananoque, ON – December 6, 2024) The Young Company is bringing a family treat for all ages to the stage at the Firehall Theatre in Gananoque. Pirates Don’t Babysit! has everything that the young and young at heart could want in a theatre experience.
“The Young Company is a partnership with the district school board and the Thousand Islands Playhouse (TIP) and we are doing a show for young audiences,” said Isabella Paul, Young Company member.
This is not your usual school play. The script is filled with fun, adventure, and unexpected surprises. Nine-year-old Jenny (Presley Tamblin) is now a big sister and she hates it. Her mum (Leviathan Rieder) makes her stay home and look after the baby when she’d much rather be out doing something exciting – anything exciting. One day when Mum goes out to do some shopping, pirates come to the door and Jenny finds herself in the middle of an adventure that she never expected. They need her to help them find a buried treasure, but she has conditions – they have to let her become a pirate and join their crew and most of all, they have to help babysit. These pirates know nothing about babies or babysitting, but they really want that treasure. Hilarity and misadventure ensue as they screw everything up but come out on top in the end.
