After a two-month lull in the Kids and Company shows held in Fort Frances, entertainment is returning to the Townshend Theatre at 6:30 p.m. Monday, as The Mysteries of Mr. E takes the stage.

According to the performer’s website, Eric Leclerc is considered Canada’s national magic champion and has been entertaining children of all ages for more than 20 years. In his new show, The Mysteries of Mr. E, he plays an eccentric professor with a lovable and magical charm. His name is Mr. E and he teaches children valuable lessons through the art of magic.

During his show, the site said Mr. E not only inspires self-confidence in children, but he also touches upon educational themes such as science, geography, and recycling.

The Mysteries of Mr. E has been described as an interactive and entertaining learning experience, the site continued. What sets Mr. E apart from other performers are the important lessons his show demonstrates to children and the magical way they are presented – creating a fun and stimulating environment. His show is full of side-splitting comedy and amazing magical illusions, and is known to keep younger children laughing and engaged.

For those who do not have a season pass to the Kids and Company shows, tickets to Monday’s performance are $10 and are available at the Fort Frances Public Library, Betty’s, Revco Carpet, Coffee Landing Cafe and at the door. Children under the age of 3 get in free.
