From May 9-13, Sudbury's New Work Theatre Festival, PlaySmelter, returns for a fifth year. This edition features two full productions by local playwrights Lara Bradley and Matthew Heiti and three new play readings. Tickets and more details can be found here.
The mannequins have met their makers, the marquee bulbs have burned their last, the deals have all been dealt: Nickelman's is shuttered. But if you missed out on the shopping experience of someone's lifetime, thankfully, Sudbury's Poet Laureate, Kim Fahner, was there to suffer for you. You can read her full narrative account on her site, The Republic of Poetry.
Photo by Jorge Cueto Most folks don't know that Nickelman's Department Store had its own record label. Their bestselling artist, Burt Northburn, hasn't been heard from in over thirty years. But we've discovered a box of old cassettes, containing his nickel-selling album. You can listen to it at BrokeDownTown Sept. 30 and Oct. 1.
In mouldering boxes in eldritch attics, our research team has unearthed materials related to the long-defunct Nickelman's Department Store.
Uncover the truth September 30 and October 1.
Tickets for BrokeDownTown are now available. Please reserve your spot at this GRAND OPENING FINAL CLOSING event, all for the price of a dream: Eventbrite link Facebook event page original photograph from City of Greater Sudbury Archives
