SUMMARY:Bear Grease The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Bear Grease reimagines the iconic 1971 musical Grease through a bold and comedic native lens. With a rip-roaring score by Crystle Lightning and Henry Cloud Andrade\, and direction by Crystle Lightning\, this all-Indigenous musical parody infuses hip-hop and comedy into a pow wow-powered love story that’s equal parts hilarious homage and cultural celebration. Captivating audiences across North America Bear Grease has had over 200 successful performances over 4 incredible years\, and is now only the 2nd all-Indigenous musical to ever debut Off-Broadway.\n\nThe beloved songs of Grease are revitalized with vibrant cultural expression and Cree (Nêhiyawêwin) language: “Hopelessly Devoted” becomes a soul-stirring round dance\, “Bear Grease Lightning” bursts with Traditional\, Grass\, Chicken\, and Fancy footwork\, and “Wichihin” delivers a powerful new take on “Stand by Me”.

SUMMARY:The Haunted Lakehead: Port Arthur Ghosts and Gore
DESCRIPTION:Discover the Ghosts\, Guts and Gore of Downtown Port Arthur \n\n\n\n\nThe Haunted Lakehead returns for the 4th year \nJoin us for stories of ghosts\, crimes\, murders\, and creepy goings-on at The Lakehead. \nThis tour will show you the North Core like you have never seen it before. Come with me as we traverse parks\, back alleys\, and darkened streets and hear about some of the most interesting past and current hauntings\, murders\, and crimes to take place in the city. The Lakehead has so many secrets\, and I can’t wait to share them with you! \nThis tour is rated PG-13 for disturbing content – and is not recommended for children under the age of 13 \nThe tours will begin at the Boreal Museum at 215 Red River Road inside Keskus Court. \nAll the gore\, guts\, and ghosts you can handle from the history books of the Lakehead. Definitely not meant for the light of heart. ~60 to 90 minutes in length per tour. \nAs dusk falls\, we will travel away from the busy core of Port Arthur to hear about lost cemeteries\, eerie ghosts\, gruesome crimes\, and so much more. Our tour will take us down some quiet alleyways and through the darkened paths and streets of the city. The tour will end back along the Red River Road strip so that it should be just a short walk to your parked car or other transportation. \nThe tour should take approximately 1 -1.5 hours and participants should be prepared to walk 2.5-3 kilometers. Please dress according to the weather\, wear appropriate footwear\, attend the washroom before you join the tour\, and bring water if you think you will need it. \nHot refreshments will be provided at the end of each tour\, to shake off the chills and thrills! \nTours will run rain\, snow\, or shine. \nIf the weather is too atrocious (thunder & lightning\, etc.)\, emails will be sent to participants and a cancellation notice with a rain date will be posted on The Haunted Lakehead and Boreal Museum Facebook pages by 6pm the night of the tour. \nRefunds will only be provided if the tour is cancelled by us and you cannot attend the rain date or any other tour date. \nIf you have any questions\, please direct them to borealmuseum@gmail.com or (807) 407 7570 during museum hours.
