The critically acclaimed Elizabeth – Darcy is returning “home” to Campbell House for what is becoming a seasonal tradition! This is a love story. This is a comedy. This is two women playing all the parts. This is the Jane Austen you love with a squeeze of lemon. This is you moving through a historic home with the story. This is you getting caught up, swept away, laughing out loud.

“Our 2015 first season was very successful. I especially loved watching such a diverse audience come together. Everyone who came out to the sold out shows felt like they were really part of something very special.” – Keith Hamm
“All of the music that we’ll be performing this coming season is incredibly versatile and for all ages and ears. This is going to be a big, beautiful concert with early music, folk rock, some romantic music, and even some fiddling. The Toronto audience always feels like family, and it is a warm and loving environment.” – Edwin Huizinga
