Created and Performed by Grand Illusionists and Hollywood Headliners: The Outerbridges Masters of illusion, Ted and Marion Outerbridge, Mysteries of the Keyhole House will take you on a magical and historical journey of their own personal experiences in the Keyhole House.
This production is based on a true story about the once dilapidated historic home that the Outerbridges now happily share with spirits of yesteryear, and which they lovingly call The Keyhole House, so named for its grand keyhole arched entryway (what magician doesn’t love a keyhole and its portal to the otherworldly?!).
Ted’s masterful video-logues about restoring the Keyhole House, the historical artifacts found, and friendly hauntings have gone viral with over 30 million views on TikTok and appearances on CTV National News, a TVO documentary, and NBC’s The Golf Channel (Brooke Henderson’s grandparents had a 54-year connection to the house).
These videos and the true stories they tell birthed Mysteries of the Keyhole House, a simultaneously reverent, mystical, and joyous show, where magic becomes the master storyteller. Audiences will be transported through time as Ted and Marion Outerbridge take them through an evening of enthralling illusions, theatre and dance, creating a spine-tingling spectacle of living history. It’s more than just magic!

about the organizer
Meaford Hall
In 1909, the town of Meaford eagerly gathered at the new Town Hall and Opera House on Nelson and Sykes Streets. The construction of this grand building, designed by local architect James Ellis, marked a significant moment for the community. As the cornerstone was laid in 1908, Mayor J.W. Horsley proudly declared that Meaford Hall would be a symbol of progress and prosperity for generations to come.
Over the years, Meaford Hall served multiple purposes, including housing the council chambers, town offices, courtroom, library, and community meeting spaces. However, it was the second-floor Opera House that truly captured the town's heart. The Opera House became a cultural hub, hosting plays, graduations, concerts, and famous speakers.
The building endured some neglect but was ultimately saved through a restoration project in the early 2000s, funded by grants and community efforts.
Today, Meaford Hall Arts & Cultural Centre stands as an icon of downtown Meaford, a testament to the town's history and commitment to arts and culture.
