Oh, Charlie! Silent Night

Old-fashioned Christmas show at Florence Simmons

Scott and Finnegan Chandler

Oh, Charlie! Silent Night will be on stage at Florence Simmons Performance Hall in Charlottetown on November 22 at 7 pm. 

Charlie Chaplin sets out to help an orphan find Christmas, but in true Charlie Chaplin manner, everything that can go wrong goes wrong. And everything that can go right… also goes wrong.  

This new, old-fashioned Christmas show is a funny, witty, and charming Christmas tale written, directed, and performed by Islander Scott Chandler. Chandler’s lengthy career as a Canadian National gymnastics champion and PEI Hall of Fame athlete makes him the ideal performer to take on Chaplin’s trademark physical comedy, slapstick, and acrobatic style. 

He’ll be joined by his eight-year-old son Finnegan, who takes the stage in his first major role playing an orphan boy searching for a family, a home, and the true meaning of Christmas. The 2025 Atlantic Canadian gymnastics champion will also be showing a few tricks of his own as well as playing keyboard.

Live music by Norman Stewart and Courtney Hogan-Chandler will accompany the performance. The two Island performers will also be joined by a few special guests. 

Oh, Charlie! Silent Night has partnered with the PEI Upper Room, donating a portion of every ticket sale as well as proceeds from a 50/50 draw and a silent auction during the evening.

Tickets can be purchased at ticketpro.ca or by calling the box office at 1-888-311-9090.
