Congratulations to Artistic Director Tim Porter and the whole team at Tweed & Co on their stellar season at their theatres: The Marble Arts Centre in Actinolite north of Tweed, The Outdoor Stage in Tweed, and the Village Playhouse in Bancroft. In promoting the three venues, Tweed & Co has published a new magazine.
I was delighted to be asked to be a part of the first edition of their magazine. I wrote an article about Million Dollar Quartet – the true story upon which the musical is based. It’s about the day that Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins were all in the same room with Sam Phillips at Sun Record Studios in Memphis. According to legend, the four greats jammed together.
Million Dollar Quartet has become a popular musical. It opens August 14 at The Marble Arts Studio, and then moves to The Village Playhouse in Bancroft August 21.
It’s been a banner year so far for Tweed & Co. Dear Rita, A Musical Toast to Rita MacNeil was a hit at both venues, followed by the ever-popular Anne of Green Gables at The Village Playhouse in Bancroft.

I Attended the Million Dollar Quartet on August 17, 2024 at the Marble Arts Theatre in Actinolite (Tweed). It was an absolutely amazing show! Probably one of the best tribute artist shows I’ve ever experienced and I’ve been to many. Sadly they did not publish the names of these amazing singers, not in the Tweed & Company Theatre Magazine nor online on your website. These artists need to be recognized for their amazing talent.
