Taghum Hall is thrilled to partner with Pat Henman Productions to present Halfway There, in which friends Vi, Rita, Mary Ellen, and Janine—who meet for coffee every day and know everybody’s business—catch wind of a new arrival: Sean, a heartbroken doctor, who is about to tip the town off its axis.That’s when we find out there’s no such thing as a secret in Stewiacke, Nova Scotia. Starring Lindsay Clague, Robyn Lamb, Sydney Black, Avi Phillips, and Pat Henman, who is also co-director with Eva Myers-McKimm, this is a play that will have you laughing ’til your sides ache and crying ’til your heart breaks, according to one reviewer. Performances are November 14, 15, 16 at 7:30 with a matinee on Saturday November 16 at 2pm.

Contra Dancing
Contra dancing is a community social dance that has its origins in England, Scotland and France made popular in the US.
We dance to live music – Irish, Scottish and French-Canadian tunes played by talented musicians. A caller walks through the moves and prompts the figures during the dance.
Contra dance is appropriate for all ages if you can walk briskly and follow directions independently. You don’t need to bring a partner. It is customary to change partners during the evening. Bring comfortable layered clothes, water bottle, indoor shoes.
