SUMMARY:ArtsWells 2025
DESCRIPTION:📣🎉We are very excited to announce that we are going ahead with ArtsWells 2025! \nThis year\, the festival will take place on June 27 – 29.\nWe had worked hard to “bring back” the festival last year\, presenting a new iteration that we had carefully built and curated. \nHowever\, the postponement of ArtsWells 2024 due to fire strengthened our resolve to continue. We believe this community and this region deserve an event like ArtsWells\, something that celebrates the unique local spirit while inviting artists and listeners to our little town. We’re getting back on the horse and making it happen! \nWe believe these new dates will allow the festival to take place at time when the weather is comfortable in Wells. We would like to extend our gratitude to all the businesses and fellow NFPs in Wells and Barkerville that have helped us make this switch a reality.

SUMMARY:LARRY
DESCRIPTION:Since we first heard about this award-winning hit show\, we’ve been keen to bring Canadian Clown Artist Candy Roberts to the Sunset stage: she’s fucking brilliant\, and we are lucky to have her. \n(Yes\, we used the F-word\, because this show is for adults.) \nRoberts assumes her alter ego\, LARRY\, in this daring and comedic piece about one dude’s hilarious attempt at self improvement. With rock and roll\, a little “life-couching”\, and a dip into his own psyche\, LARRY uncovers a little more than anyone expected. \nCulled lovingly from the male archetypes that surrounded her during her upbringing\, LARRY helps Candy compassionately examine the limitations of the gender binary\, aging as a woman in society\, and the complexities of being human. \nThis show is for anyone who is\, or knows a woman. Gear-down Big-Rig\, you just might bust a gut and shed a tear! \n(This show is adult-oriented\, recommended ages +18)
