All Aboard!

All Aboard! presents the adventures of a young black CPR porter in the late ’40s. Colin Forde is working his way through McGill medical school by spending his summers on the trains. Harsh treatment and racism are leavened by friendship and discovery, as a great doctor and a great man come of age.

Tickets: $20; available online (plus $1 service charge) and at the Palace Theatre box office, 519-432-1029.
Half of ticket proceeds from the September 12 performance will be donated to the Fugitive Slave Chapel Preservation Project.
