Crash Test Dummies

Part of the 125th Anniversary Celebration of the Gravenhurst Opera House 

Friday, March 13, 2026
Celebration 6:30 PM 
Doors Open 7:00 PM 
Show 7:30 PM 

TICKETS: $75 + applicable fees & taxes

With one of the most recognizable voices in Canadian music history, alternative rock band Crash Test Dummies are a three-time Grammy nominated and JUNO award-winning group, who soared to the top of the worldwide charts in the early 1990’s with hits “Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm” and “Superman’s Song”. Their cover of “The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead” was a highlight of the soundtrack to the blockbuster film, “Dumb and Dumber”, while simultaneously reaching #4 on the US Top 100 album charts. All of their releases keep the same folk-hued, alternative spirit of their early sound, centering around the distinct baritone of frontman Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid’s folk-rock fusion. 

After a twenty-year hiatus, the Crash Test Dummies reunited in 2018 for a two-week tour to celebrate their most successful album “God Shuffled His Feet”. The overwhelming reception to these shows has since led to continuous touring across two continents, with sold-out shows across the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. 

“Touring again was not something we’d planned on, but surprisingly– at least to me – there are lots of people who many years later, still want to come and hear us,” says lead singer and principal songwriter Brad Roberts. “It’s humbling, being in the confidence of so many people.” The band is returning to Europe and the UK in the fall of 2024 for an extensive tour before heading down under for sold-out shows in Australia and New Zealand in early 2025. 

The dynamic and high-energy stage show features the band’s most iconic songs, performed by original members Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts and Mitch Dorge. Joining them are long-standing guitarist Stuart Cameron and relative newcomer Leith Fleming-Smith, Canada’s keyboard whiz-kid. 

2025 will also see the band release a “Greatest Hits” double vinyl, which includes their first two new songs in fifteen years - ‘Sacred Alphabet’ and ‘When First the Heart’ - along with a live version of showstopper and fan favorite “Heart of Stone”.

Chantal Kreviazuk and Raine Maida are one of Canada’s most influential cultural couples. 

Kreviazuk made her critically acclaimed full-length debut, Under These Rocks and Stones, in 1997. Since then, the Winnipeg born singer-songwriter has been granted three JUNO Awards and a Grammy Award. In total, she has recorded ten albums, including a live album and a holiday album.

Simultaneously, Maida forged a dynamic career as a solo artist in addition to being the front man for the band, Our Lady Peace – also a four-time JUNO Award winner, including Rock Album of the Year in 2003 (Gravity) and 1998 (Clumsy). The pair have also co-written hits for artists such as Kelly Clarkson, David Cook, and Carrie Underwood & Chantal individually has songs with Drake, Kendrick Lamar & Gwen Stefani.  

While Kreviazuk and Maida are quick to lend their time to the studio and stage, they are equally committed to lending their help to those in need. The couple were awarded the Order of Canada for their efforts to raise awareness and support for human and animal rights, mental health, education, and the environment. 

Their collaborative album, I’m Going to Break Your Heart, was released with an  accompanying documentary – capturing the couple's personal struggles and musical journey – all to inspire a generation of a cycle-breaking and hope for a more peaceful future.

The Rotary Club of Gravenhurst proudly presents

Doris & Ivy in the Home by Norm Foster 

A Fundraiser for the Gravenhurst Health Hub A Community-led Initiative To Expand Access To Local Primary Care, Diagnostics, and Wellness Services For All Gravenhurst Residents. 

Friday, April 24, 2026
Trillium Court 'The Rock Bar' Opens at 6 PM
Doors to theatre open at 6:30 PM; Show begins at 7:00 PM
Tickets: $35 plus applicable fees & taxes

Doris and Ivy in the Home is a heartwarming and hilariously insightful comedy from celebrated playwright Norm Foster, bringing audiences into the lively world of Paradise Village, a retirement home where second chances bloom in the most unexpected ways. 

When Doris Mooney, a bold and spirited former prison guard, arrives with her trademark blunt charm, she immediately shakes up the quiet routines of her new surroundings. Her infectious energy quickly zeroes in on Ivy Hoffbauer, a reserved former world‑class skier whose past fame contrasts sharply with her desire for solitude.

As Doris chips away at Ivy’s icy exterior, the two women form an unlikely but deeply touching friendship, one built on honesty, vulnerability, and the shared surprises of aging. Their dynamic becomes even more entertaining with the arrival of Arthur Beech, a dapper retired professor whose romantic sights are set squarely on Ivy. His earnest pursuit adds a delightful layer of wit, warmth, and comedic tension to the trio’s evolving relationship.

Filled with Foster’s signature quick‑witted dialogue and generous heart, Doris and Ivy in the Home celebrates the joys, fears, and freedoms that come with growing older. It’s a story that proves life doesn’t slow down after 70, it simply gets funnier, richer, and more meaningful. Audiences will laugh, reflect, and fall in love with this charming tale of friendship, romance, and embracing every moment with courage and humour.

Doris and Ivy in the home is staged by arrangement with Pam Winter, Gary Goddard Agency - GG Agency
