Ed can fix just about anything — an old truck, a stubborn boat motor, even people’s problems. The folks of Port Petunia flock to Ed’s Garage for oil changes and sage advice.
Everything’s running like a well-oiled machine until a psychotherapist from the city sets up shop next door, throwing a wrench into the whole business.
"Ed’s Garage" reunites the creative team behind the acclaimed "Wingfield" series — writer Dan Needles, director Douglas Beattie and Canadian theatre icon Rod Beattie in the role of Ed.
