Hildebrand Schoolhouse Theatre St. Jacobs

Sorry...I'm Not Sorry!

An Unapologetically Canadian Comedy

June 3 to August 22

Conceived by Alex Mustakas
 
Starring Neil Aitchison

Elbows up, theatregoers … the Mountie is on his “final” farewell tour!

After being pulled out of retirement yet again, RCMP Constable Archibald F. Inkster is back by popular demand – and he’s funnier than ever! Humorist Neil Aitchison takes the stage as his beloved alter ego to provide truly unique and hilarious insights on what it means to be quintessentially Canadian. Alongside heaps of folksy humour and sprinklings of lighthearted political satire, the golden voices and soaring spirits of homegrown talent will showcase our rich musical heritage with selections from the Great Canadian Song Book.

Over the past 25 years, Inkster has made memorable appearances in many Drayton Entertainment productions, starting with Canadian Loonie, Canadian Toonie, Sorry…I’m Canadian, Sorry…I’m Canadian Too, Canadian Legends, and Canada 151. See him in this celebratory send-off, as we proudly wave our maple leaf in honour of the True North strong and free. You’ll be “sorry” to miss it!

Recommended for ages 10 and up

Running Time: 2 hours and 20 minutes, including a 20 minute intermission.
