Cutlass is a fresh retelling of the lives of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, the two most infamous female pirates in western history. This production, screening at the Temple Ballroom, was mounted on January 15th and 16th in Montréal at the Tuesday Night Café Theatre, and was generously filmed by TVM McGill. This version of Cutlass was semi-staged and costumed, showcasing 10 new pieces arranged for vocalists, piano, violin, and cello, meant to offer a taste of the epic full musical to come.
After the screening, which will last approximately 55 minutes, we are proud to be showcasing live performances by local musicians. Finally, after the show, everyone in the audience will be welcome to participate in karaoke! Our goal is to create a space where people (especially queer people) can find community and enjoy new music together.
While other interpretations of this story tend to redact their possible romantic relationship, Cutlass proudly represents queer transgression as a ubiquitous theme in the world of 18th century piracy. From the two cross-dressing women mistaking each other as men (a legend that contributed to their persisting fame), to falling in love despite their same sex, and finally to fighting side-by-side during their capture by Jonathan Barnet, the love story between Bonny and Read is one that transcends all constraints of time and societal expectations. In this new musical, creator Elise Holbrook strives to celebrate all of the rebellious people (especially women+) throughout history who have fought for their right to thrive as their authentic selves, leaving no regrets.

Performance and Music
Use of the Ballroom includes BHSP’s flexible and modular sound and theatre technology and essential staff.
Contact us for rates and co-production information! Some co-productions carry no upfront fees for you!
Our mission as a co-producer is to provide what we wish we’d had access to when we were coming up: A plug-and-play venue with no upfront costs, so you can invest in your production instead of expensive rental fees. In return we share a 50/50 split of ticket revenues. This means you can walk in with nothing but a show and walk out with half of sales.
Tech information available here.
Events and Gatherings
From weddings and showers to big-screen gaming parties, theme nights, grad celebrations, and other cultural life events, the Ballroom provides a welcoming, fully-accessible, and supremely photogenic environment for your special moments, with quality in-house tables and chairs and a pantry kitchen and bar for your catering and beverage service needs. BHSP also can manage your event’s insurance and catering service with advance notice.
Our in-house technology reduces outside rental expenses and provides reliable hardware for your guests’ entertainment. Full staging and audio production for musicians and bands also is available.
Rates and required staffing are determined by event capacity and complexity, but start at $250 for three hours, with a $5 surcharge per guest. Please contact us at bloomsburymasonic@gmail.com for a quote and to visit the Ballroom.
Classes and Rehearsals
The Ballroom and its exquisite hardwood dance floor are accessible during business hours and non-event evenings for your classes, meetings, and rehearsals – 9am-9pm Sunday-Wednesday, 9am-5pm Thursday-Saturday.
Private class rates start at $150 for up to 15 persons and the first three hours, with $25 for each additional hour and $5 for each additional person, and include access to the BHSP audio system. Contact us at bloomsburymasonic@gmail.com to secure your spot on the schedule or discuss other arrangements.
Additional fees apply for additional persons, and for use of stage lights.
Film and Locations
Windsor/Detroit has a thriving and vibrant film community but also very few places in the core to view those films in style once they are complete. Coming soon, we will offer rear projection into a 10’x22′ screen with theatrical audio, excellent seating, and Golden Age or noir environs for your film presentations. We also handle ticketing and can arrange catering at request. Contact us for details at bloomsburymasonic@gmail.com.
For film production, the Ballroom and the Temple offer excellent sound isolation and a strikingly wide variety of locations which can stand in for a Renaissance study, a 50s diner, a 20s speakeasy, a Manhattan foyer, a big-city restaurant kitchen, etc. with many opportunities in between. Location scouts are welcome to explore but keep in mind that this registered historic site allows no painting, alterations, or affixations. We are located 15 minutes from Windsor International Airport (YQG) and 40 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport (DTW).
About the Masonic Temple and Ballroom
The Masonic Temple is a three-storey red brick Neo-Classical Revival style building with contrasting limestone trim designed by architect J.C. Pennington and completed in 1922, located on the north-east corner of the intersection of Erie Street and Ouellette Avenue in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
The Temple was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1995. Many of the furnishings in the Lodge rooms date back to the late 1800s. The building has been scrupulously maintained largely in its original state, with modernisation in electrical service, washrooms, and a fully-wheelchair-accessible elevator.
