Based on the Songs and Lyrics of FRED EAGLESMITH (yes, THAT Fred Eaglesmith)

 Drivin’, shootin’, cheatin’, schemin’, and boozin’ … just another day on the farm complete with some of Fred Eaglesmith's biggest hits! Johnny and Caroline struggle to keep the farm afloat and their marriage together. The bills pile higher and The Man From Toronto wants to put a big ol’ overpass right through their hearts. What's going to keep it all together? Hint: it’s green. And it’s a tractor.

“…a big hearted comedy that will leave you in tears – tears of compassion and recognition as well as tears of laughter.” Robert Reid, Waterloo Record

 What could be more stressful than hosting Christmas dinner for your infuriating parents? How about doing it while you’re in labour? Carolyn’s got one evening to create the perfect dinner, make peace with her parents, get married, and deliver a baby. What could possibly go wrong?

Intrigue in your own backyard…

 The year is 1927 and someone is stealing Al Capone’s whiskey. In a quiet little diner close to the U.S. border Lucy yearns for excitement and glamour. When a couple of well-dressed American gangsters make an after hours visit, Lucy changes her tune as the stakes get higher. Or does she just sing louder? Perhaps there is more to this little diner than meets the eye…

We’ll sell you the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge…

Nothing goes together like a thriller and a hot summer night. Picture this: Regina, 1944…out on the edge of town where the neighbors are few and far between. Teenage twins are left home alone for the night…talking about boys…telling ghost stories…and scaring each other silly with tall tales. It’s all fun and games, until evil comes a-calling.

The Devil We Know is the perfect blend of fright and delight for a hot summer night.
