The Speakeasy Festival was also created as a platform to present new Canadian plays born out of our Sunset Exploration Series – a creation development series for emerging and established Canadian playwrights\, as well as hosting other independent theatre productions developed outside of the Sunset.\nThis year’s Festival goers will experience 4 different shows at the Sunset Theatre over the course of the long weekend between August 1 – 3.\nThe long weekend in Wells kicks off on Friday\, August 1st with our friends at Island Mountain Arts and Ramshackle Theatre hosting Theatre in the Bog\, an offering of five site specific 10 minute plays performed through the Wells Meadow from 7:30PM – 9:30PM.\nAfter Theatre in the Bog the action moves to the Sunset Theatre for a 10PM evening concert with The Salt Weather Trio and a Late Night Speakeasy to Kick Off our LONG WEEKEND SPEAKEASY FESTIVAL! \nFIRST NIGHT • FRIDAY\, AUGUST 1ST\, 2025 • 10PM ’TIL LATE!\n10PM TO 11PM • THE SALT WEATHER CONCERT • $20.00\n(August 1\, 2 and 3!)\nWe kick off our SpeakEasy Festival with a late night concert with Vancouver based band\, The Salt Weather – 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. They’ll be playing all 3 nights at 10pm!\n11PM TO 1AM – THE SUNSET SPEAKEASY • FREE\n(August 1\, 2 and 3!)\nThe nightly Speakeasy gathering…what is that you say? Well – Speakeasy is a very casual late night gathering where you can chill and chat with friends while you listen or dance to some all decades tunes. We turn the stage into a cozy lounge with comfy seats\, tables and funky lighting\, creating an inviting atmosphere for a late night night-cap and hang out with friends! \nDAY 2 • SATURDAY\, AUGUST 2ND • 7PM ’TIL LATE\n7PM – 8:15PM • HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN FOR FAMOUS PEOPLE • $20.00 (August 2 & 3)\nWritten and Performed by Karen Planden\, Directed by Dirk Van Stralen • Wells\, BC\nHolding The Door Open For Famous People is an epic tale of what happens when a young prairie girl comes face to face with her dreams of fame\, fortune and Broadway in the Big Apple. Is it fate or fortune that leads her to right where she’s supposed to be.\n9PM – 10PM • BREAK A LEG • $20.00\nWritten and Performed by Brian Fidler\, Ramshackle Theatre • Whitehorse\, Yukon\nBreak A Leg is a collectively improvised tale inspired by Tramadol\, extra-strength Tylenol and the power of community.
