Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity has announced that the Banff International String Quartet Festival (BISQFest) will take place this fall from September 1st through 3rd. Created in 2017, BISQFest grew out of the phenomenal success of the triennial Banff International String Quartet Competition (BISQC).

What did our critic think of KYMTC'S PRODUCTION OF MATILDA THE MUSICAL at Urbandale Arts Centre?

Showtime Productions Inc. has announced the Winnipeg premiere of JAGGED LITTLE PILL, Oct. 17 to Oct. 22 for 8 shows at the Centennial Concert Hall. 

Great Canadian Theatre Company's production of Donna-Michelle St. Bernard's The First Stone is unlike any other show I have seen presented at GCTC. Thanks to the creative direction (Yvette Nolan), set (Jackie Chau) and projection design (Cam Davis), the show has a very artistic and fluid feel to it, almost like it could be performed in a museum instead of a theatre.

What did our critic think of HALFWAY THERE at Ottawa Little Theatre?

A fluffy, lighthearted rom-com that moves at a good pace and is highly entertaining. Running through April 1st at the Ron Maslin Playhouse.

Broadway Across Canada has brought the touring production of Disney's Aladdin to Ottawa for the first time as part of its 2022-2023 season. Celebrating its ninth anniversary on Broadway, it was obvious that audiences have been waiting a long time for the musical to visit and there was a sense of excitement in the air. Predictably, the audience was a mixture of all ages since the animated film that inspired the musical was released over thirty years ago, back in 1992.

Based on discussions between composer Roger White and his grandmother, Marianna Clark (née Goldmann), about her experiences fleeing Nazi Germany and arriving in the UK as a refugee, the piece combines texts mined from diaries and letters that Marianna wrote in her late teens and early 20s with the recordings of her speaking in her 90s.

Theatre Collingwood could be compared to the children's story The Little Engine That Could, as there is no doubt the non-profit professional theatre company has had some mountains to overcome!

Recommended for fans of Regency romance, the show is in performances through March 18th.
