Trees.Listen Concert, with Sharlene Wallace
Trees.Listen is an immersive sonic journey co-composed by Frank Horvat and Sharlene Wallace and inspired by the profound knowledge of acclaimed botanist and climate change visionary Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger and her book, To Speak for the Trees. This soundscape comes to life with the intimate and evocative tones of the Celtic lever harp fused with meticulously crafted electronic atmosphere and projections of Sharlene’s photographs. Experience the resonance of trees through the harp’s voice as every movement captures the spirit and wisdom of each tree. Trees.Listen is a musical storytelling experience that weaves the ancient past with modern sound design, offering a new way of “listening” to the planet.

The Salt Weather is a harmony-driven trio whose sound is as expansive and grounded as the geography that shaped them. With roots stretching from the still waters of Southern Ontario to the salt air of the Pacific Coast, their music is born of lake and sea—songs shaped by water and wind. Blending folk, indie, and atmospheric elements, their voices move like weather systems: distinct, layered, and emotionally true. The Salt Weather creates music for ocean mornings, shifting skies and the places in-between.
A solo show by Lucy Jeffery with music that explores what our world is like for the little guys.
Written and performed by Karen Planden, Holding the Door Open for Famous People is an enthralling – and entirely true – story of a young Calgarian in cowboy boots making her way in the visceral, intimate and gritty embrace of New York City in the early 80s.
WARNING: May also contain personal insight into certain era celebrities.

Created and performed by Brian Fidler, Break a Leg is a collectively improvised tale inspired by Tramadol, extra-strength Tylenol, and the power of community.
Come see the facilitator of Island Mountain Arts production of the site-specific Theatre in the Bog in an intimate performance at the Sunset.
Island Mountain Arts about Brian:
Brian Fidler is the Artistic Director of Ramshackle Theatre, and has been working with artists and theatre makers to create magic in the bog just on the edge of Wells. Get out of the black box and see just how wild theatre can be!
And then – we’d suggest – get back into the black box and just see how wild theatre can be!
One night only, sadly.

Written and Directed by Ryan Gladstone
Starring Tara Travis
Original Score by Drew Jurecka and Robbie Grunwald
The Betrayed Wife. The Scheming Wife. The Peacemaker. The Ugly German. The Tarty One. The One in Love with Someone Else.
Six Queens. Six Love stories. Six Deaths. One Actress!
It all starts in the afterlife, in a bizarre waiting room of sorts. One by one, the wives of Henry VIII arrive, much to the shock and dismay of each previous wife. What culminates is the heated frenzy of an ex-wives club where these women swap stories, toss Anne Boleyn’s head around, pick on the ugly German one, and, most importantly, fight for the right to be acknowledged as Henry’s true bride and eternal partner.
But when Henry arrives…everything changes.
WINNER: Pick of the Fringe Vancouver, Outstanding Individual Performance AND Producer’s Pick (London Fringe)
“…one of the most impressive acting feats in the festival!” ★★★★★-Kevin Prokosh, Winnipeg Free Press
“A standing ovation followed Travis’ tour-de-force performance.”- ★★★★★ London Free Press
“What more can I add? WOW!” ★★★★(out of 4)- The Beat, London
“Tara Travis is an immense talent. Go see this show and find yourself in Heaven. Comedy Heaven, that is.” –umfm.com
“It’s tough to say which is the better part of this show: the acting, the direction or the script…compelling!”-CVV Magazine
“Sharply directed and performed with consummate skill and vivacity, Til Death is a must-see!” ★★★★1/2-Victoria Times Colonist
“Hilarious, touching, thought provoking and educational, Til Death has "best in the fest" written all over it!” –Theatre in London
