WHAT’S ON? 

WHITE PLAGUE
April 2-4, 2026 
Fergus Grand Theatre

A Thriller for Eastertide by Piper J. Distel
 

In the remote wilderness of Northern Canada, St. Camillus Consumption Sanitarium stands as a crumbling monument to faith, fear, and forgotten lives. Here, modern medicine is cast aside in favour of penitence, prayer, and punishing isolation. Margaret Sanderson, a young Métis nurse with a shadowed past, tends quietly to the dying — and to the ghosts that linger just beyond the veil. But when Cornelius ‘Red’ McIntyre, a beloved Irish tenor, arrives at the sanitarium barely clinging to life, strange things begin to stir… and then McIntyre dies, before resurrecting three days later. A gothic mystery woven with identity, religious guilt, and the supernatural, White Plague is a chilling meditation on celebrity and faith that begs the age-old question: “What makes a Messiah?”

NOTE: WHITE PLAGUE features coarse language, as well as scenes that depict violence against women and children, religious fanaticism, prejudice and gore. Viewer discretion is advised.



AUDIENCE: Recommended: 14+ | RUN TIME (appx): 120 minutes
