Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Lewchuk, Nicholas P : Nicholas Lewchuk immigrated from Ukraine to Canada in 1896 and settled in Canora, Saskatchewan. In the early 1920's, he assembled a Ukrainian magic and vaudeville travelling show known as the Lew'chuk Vaudeville Co., later known as Lew'chuk's Midway Shows. The show toured in a colourful van across western Canada for 30 years and performed in large towns as well as in local country schools and halls. The shows consisted of original material written by Lewchuk and included dialogue, pantomine, monologues, tap dancing, magic shows, clown acts, comedy skits, and original songs performed primarily in Ukrainian. Lewchuk also produced posters in English and Ukrainian to advertise the only Ukrainian travelling show at the time. His first posters were produced by a process called hectographs. Later, the purchase of a small lithographic printing press enabled Lewchuk to produce lithographic prints. Publication: The Life and Work of Prof. N.P., Lewchuk (1989)
