Booking Info Here

Master storyteller, Jay Wilson brings to life the richly imagined tales of Charlene Herrold (1920-2009) inviting audiences into the world of Ballycarlene - a village where ordinarly lives reveal extraordinary humour, heart and humanity. Through stories of spirited families, clever neighbours, daring widows and hapless bachelors the show explores universal themes of love, loss, family and the small moments that make life memorable.

Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears is storytelling at its finest: tender, witty and full of insight into the human experience.

Successful performances in Collingwood, Guelph, Uxbridge, and even Edgar Ontario!

Great Stories. Well Told.

I am drawn to one of theatre's oldest traditions: a performer standing before an audience and holding their attention through story, character, humour and humanity.

It is a simple form. It requires little more than a voice, an imagination and a willing audience. Yet it remains one of the most powerful ways we have of connecting with one another.

"Jay's shifts between characters feels completely natural - like a room full of people brought to life."-------- Audience member.

"I so loved spending time with Jay. There's a deep humour in these stories - even the most tragic moments - that feels oddly comforting right now." - Audience member
