The Real McCoy at the Blyth Festival
Enjoy Canadian history? You'll love our new production of The Real McCoy.
Born in Colchester, ON to runaway American slaves, Elijah McCoy showed so much promise as a boy in school that he won a scholarship to study mechanical engineering at Edinburgh University, where he developed an abiding love for large steam engines.
Here's what the critics are saying:
"The Real McCoy is a spectacular work."
- Ari Lipsey, Stage Door
"First-rate… a thoughtful yet quickly paced examination of the man who became 'the real McCoy.'"
- Kate Pederson, NOW Magazine
The Real McCoy's cast of seven includes top actors with experience at Stratford, Drayton and many TV programs.
The Real McCoy is on now at the Memorial Hall until September 9.
Performances are at 2pm and 8pm.
Book your tickets by calling 1-877-862-5984 or book online by heading to our website.

    One of my favourite moments: watching the always-incredible Anne Anglin absolutely nail the role of a mischievous 13-year-old girl in SCHOOLHOUSE... especially the schoolyard fights in which she teamed up with a very young Cliff Cardinal and Waawaate Fobister against the powerful Ian Lake. Intergenerational comic gold!

    Thank you for keeping Blyth Festival’s story in front of us. Remembering so many amazing moments at Blyth, both in my seat and being seated (amazing and charming volunteers), and in the cafe, lobby, art gallery, and along the street in the shops. Do I want to get there again? Absolutely! Sending a contribution towards this today. I know that one of the artists will create a script about this unreal time, as you have called it, and we will all sit back and reflect. Thank you for holding strong.
