Sudbury Theatre Centre

Greetings all!

We just received this nice little interview from our good friend John Lindsay over at the Sudbury Arts Council featuring STC Education Coordinator Judi Straughan, and Flying Bandit director Lindsay Price.

The SAC is very supportive of the STC, and we certainly appreciate all they do to promote not only the theatre, but also the entire Sudbury arts community. When you’re done watching the video, be sure to head on over to www.sudburyartscouncil.org to see what else is going on in and around our fair city.

p. s. Contrary to what is said at the end of the video, The Flying Bandit runs MARCH 18TH – 28TH, not March 8th -18th.

It’s a bird!…It’s a plane!…It’s… a Canadian folk hero?

Bet you didn’t see that one coming, right?

While we’re extremely sad to say goodbye to the wonderfully delightful cast of “The Love List”–what a fantastic show that was!–we’re more than pleased to be bringing a wildly energetic and eye-opening slice of Canadiana to the STC stage. Lindsay Price’s “The Flying Bandit” is a one-man-show that tells the unbelievable TRUE story of Canada’s greatest bank robber, the “Flying Bandit” AKA the “Gentleman Bandit” Ken Leishman.

Known for his good looks, outstanding fashion sense and his brazen thefts, Leishman dominated newspaper headlines in the 50’s. Although his bank robberies brought him to the public’s attention, he attained nearly legendary status when he perpetrated the largest gold heist in Canadian history! (With a little help from some unsuspecting Air Canada employees, no less!)

Both Lindsay Price and actor Craig Mason–who plays the entire cast of characters in this production–are extremely excited to be bringing this show to Sudbury audiences. In fact, the’ve created this little video to give you all a bit of insight into the character development process. Check it out:

“The Flying Bandit” is playing from March 18th – 28th ONLY, so call the STC box office and reserve your seat today!
