We bid farewell to John Marlatt. We are very sorry to learn of John's unexpected passing in the early hours of Monday morning on July 24th. As many of you know John was the owner of the Moonshine Cafe where he provided unwavering support for musicians and performing artists since 2006. When we approached John last year to host our Top 10 Comeback Festival, the first show back since the pandemic closures, he did so without hesitation. We sincerely appreciated him letting us call the Moonshine Cafe home that weekend, including taking over his parking lot! Our condolences to his family (including his wife, Jane, and son, Dan) his friends, and his fans.

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of our friend Jim Curley earlier this month. Jim's first show with The Oakville Players dates back to 2014 when he was cast in our production of "Colours in the Storm". We welcomed him back several times since then in a number of one-act plays and a radio play. Jim was also often found backstage in various capacities. We last collaborated with Jim when he directed our last two radio plays Clue (2019) & Home Alone (2018). On behalf of all of us here at The Oakville Players, our condolences to his friends and family, especially Kerri. A Celebration of Life for Jim will be held on Monday, August 8, 2022, at Joshua Creek Heritage Art Centre (1086 Burnhamthorpe Road East Oakville, Ontario L6H 7B2) from 7-9 pm
