“ED's GARAGE” runs June 19-23 & June 26-30, 2019 This charming, folksy, homespun comedy is filled with laughter! Ed runs the local garage in the small farming community of Port Petunia. Having once been a farmer himself, Ed is a jack-of-all-trades and can fix just about anything, including people! But Ed's position as "town counsellor" is about to be challenged when Ed and the boys find out that the young woman who has just rented office space right next to Ed's Garage, is a real psychologist!
