“A fabulous production in an incredible environment!”

L-R: Ryan Reid as Weedy Peetstraw & Paul Rainville as Mister Fleas

The feedback from audiences of The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw at Rosehall Run Vineyards, is possibly  the best we’ve ever had. Maybe it’s the wine, the tent, the TALENT, the music, but people are LOVING this show!

“Terrific, entertaining show! Very well done. Congratulations!”

“Worth seeing twice! Thanks for a great evening!!!”

“Imagine sitting in a vineyard under a giant tent. You are watching a live performance of a bluegrass opera. The talent is amazing, the script touching and funny. It’s The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw at Rosehall Run near Wellington. Don’t miss it!”

“Just came from Opening Night at Rosehall Run, I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but you GOTTA see this production…fabulous. Bravo!”

“Weedy Peetstraw is an outstanding production and a must see!!”

Described as part bluegrass and part opera this witty, darkly comedic retelling of the Faust legend is sure to delight audiences young and old. The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw, by Peter Anderson and John Millard, tells the story of a young man who sells his soul to the devil to play the banjo.
