Music of the Night

We sat down with Jenn Priddle, director of Music of the Night, to uncover the magic behind one of Antigonish’s beloved community theater companies. From its humble beginnings in 1997 (including a dinner theater performance in a barn in November!) to selling out eight-show runs at the Eleanor Mutimer Theatre, Music of the Night has been bringing Broadway-caliber productions to Antigonish for nearly three decades. Discover how 100 volunteers—from high school band students to retired symphony players, from theater newbies to performers who could totally be on Broadway—come together every year to create something extraordinary. Jenn shares the heartwarming story of mentorship flowing through generations, the intimidating complexity of mounting this year’s show Into the Woods, and why this production features Monty Python coconuts. Learn about the beautiful legacy of community theater and why sometimes the best performances aren’t found in the big cities. Grab your tickets before the show sells out!
