Artist, outdoorsman, icon – Tom Thomson’s life, art and mysterious death continue to fascinate Canadians. In this original musical by Shipyard Kitchen Party (creators of the musical “100 Years from Now” and “Shipyard Kitchen’s Newfoundland Songbook”), the famous painter is seen through the eyes of his best friend, his mentor and the woman he loved. But did any of them really know him? Through their conflicting stories, a new portrait of Thomson comes to light.

A foot-stomping folk music score, imagery from the Art Gallery of Ontario and a funny and dramatic story that keeps you guessing until the end combine to tell the tale of a man who helped define modern Canada.

“Brilliant! The actors, singers and musicianship were unbelievable! Loved the presentation, story and especially the twist ending!” – Roy MacGregor, Globe & Mail

“A delightful and insightful celebration of the life and times of a legendary Canadian cultural icon, filled with humour, passion and great music. I can’t wait to see it again!” – Eddie Schwartz, Order of Canada, Juno Winner
