Beautiful Scars

Beautiful Scars tells the story of Tom Wilson, of the band Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, and his search for truth and identity when a long-held family secret comes to light. The musical, inspired by Wilson's bestselling memoir of the same name, follows his journey from Hamilton's east Mountain to the Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) community of Kahnawake. Join a talented cast, starring Sheldon Elter as Tom Wilson, as they reveal long-hidden secrets and build a path toward understanding, belonging, and cultural celebration.

The performance on September 12 at 7:30 PM will be interpreted in American Sign Language (ASL).
