Constable Archibald F. Inkster is back in brand new Canadian Legends at Huron County Play House

RCMP Constable Archibald
F. Inkster is back. In a brand
new take on life and music in
Canada, Canadian Legends at
the Huron Country Playhouse
will sell out fast.
This will be the eighth time
Neil Aitchison entertains as his
charming alter ego Inkster as
Canadian Legends plays eight
shows a week, June 30 through
July 16.
This show will feature a win-
ning combination of side-split-
ting humour, razor-sharp
political satire, lively dancing,
and above all, memorable
musical selections that cele-
brate all things uniquely
Canadian.
Donald Trump, Prime Min-
ister Justin Tredeau and of
course, Inksters dimwitted
newpher Clifford F. Inster will
be back. Put this all together
and the show will keep the
audience laughing, toe tapping
and singing along.
Providing a welcome come-
dic interlude is Aitchison's
Mountie whose hilarious mus-
ings on current events leaves no
political party, pop star, or
public figure unscathed. The
production snaps, crackles, and
pops with an acerbic wit that
will surely resonate with audi-
ences of all ages.
Aitchison says this show is a
giant map of Canada where
every town has ajoke.
"My great friend Dave
Broadfoot helps with the
jokes," he says, "He is 90 years
old and has a mind like a trap."
Broadfoot, humorist, writer,
performer, producer and
director is an internationally
known comedian who has
probably provoked more
laughter from Canadians than
any performing artist in Eng-
lish Canada
This production sells out
fast, and Aitchison says that's
a good thing because all the
profits go to their bottom line
since it is a homegrown show.
No royalties means more dol-
lars for the theatre.
"This brand new show is
'homey and comfortable and
great fun;' says Aitchison.
Canadian Legends follows in
the same vein of the award-
winning theatre organization's
popular series of Legends trib-
ute shows (Twist and Shout,
Legends of Rock 'n' Roll,
Country Legends), by paying
tribute to some of our country's
most iconic singers and musi-
cal pioneers - Anne Murray,
Paul Anka, The Guess Who,
Leonard Cohen, Gordon Light-
foot, Shania Twain, Michael
Buble, and Celine Dion.
"Canada has been blessed
with a rich musical tapestry
that has spanned the decades
in terms of scope and world-
wide influence," says Musta-
kas. "This production cele-
brates those songwriters who
forged a new musical direc-
tion in the early days and
those Canadian sensations
who dominate charts around
the world today."
Over 100 songs from a vari-
ety of genres, such as country,
rock, acoustic pop, folk, and
rockabilly, are celebrated in
this lightning -paced, high-
octane production that
proudly waves a maple leaf in
honour of the true north,
strong and free.
The talented cast will wow
theatregoers with their versa-
tility as they bring these musi-
cal numbers to life through
powerhouse vocals, heartfelt
interpretations, and respectful
homages.
