Who was Tom Thomson?<\/em> That\u2019s the question at the heart of the musical \u201cTom Thomson\u2019s Wake\u201d by folk musicians, Shipyard Kitchen Party, coming to Huntsville\u2019s Algonquin Theatre on Sept. 27, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomson is best known for his iconic paintings The West Wind<\/em>, Northern River<\/em> and The Jack Pine<\/em>. But despite this fame and his mysterious death in Algonquin Park 1917, relatively little is understood about the painter\u2019s personality and the forces that drove his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTom Thomson\u2019s Wake\u201d follows three of Thomson\u2019s friends \u2013 mentor A.Y. Jackson, companion Winnie Trainor and Algonquin guide, Larry Dixon \u2013 as they piece together the last years of his life. But did any of them really know the man?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach character has a different view of who Tom was and what inspired him,\u201d says show writer, Jason Murphy. \u201cPart of the musical\u2019s appeal is that the audience can choose one story over the other or take a little from each to create their own portrait of the artist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring Canadian Opera Company veteran, Craig Ashton as A.Y. Jackson, Zoomer Radio\u2019s Dean Hollin as Larry Dixon, and veteran actress Julie LeBlanc as Winnie Trainor, the show features a rousing original music score by the Shipyard Kitchen Party band, creators of the musical \u201c100 Years from Now\u201d, which visited Huntsville last November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complementing the music and acting is high-definition imagery of Thomson and Group of 7 paintings from the Art Gallery of Ontario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuntsville is holy ground for Thomson fans. So we\u2019re thrilled to be bringing a new version of his story to Algonquin Theatre as part of our Fall tour,\u201d says Murphy. \u201cIt\u2019s been more than a century since Tom\u2019s death. But his story and his work still inspire countless artists, globally and locally.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets can be purchased online at www.TomMusical.com<\/span><\/a>; through the Huntsville Theatre Box Office (www.algonquintheatre.ca), or by phone at 705-789-4975.<\/p>\n\n\n
