SUMMARY:Northern Exposure’s Evening Artist Showcase - Night One
DESCRIPTION:General Admission: $25.00 + Fee\nIMA Members: $20.00 + Fee\nYouth 12-18: $15.00 + Fee\n\nEven if you aren’t attending the Northern Exposure Conference\, you can get in on the action! Join us as we invite 3 artists to share their craft with us during Northern Exposure’s Evening Artist Showcase – Night One.\nThis showcase will meet at the Sunset Theatre at 7:00 PM. From here\, the audience split into groups\, moving between three Wells venues\, making up one evening of supporting independent Canadian music and theatre from friends old and new. Bring your kind listening ears for this one!\nFor this event\, patrons will move between 3 performance venues\, taking in the fresh air of the night in between each of the sets. If mobility is a concern\, please get in contact with Elyssia Sasaki. (info@imarts.com).\nTHE ARTISTS\nMUSIC | BEN MATCHETT\nHailing from Northern BC\, Ben was heavily influenced by the folk and classic rock of his childhood. Ben has that magical balance of the bygone songwriting era; his lyrics are at once specific to his life\, and universal to the human experience. Ben draws inspiration from observation and is a natural storyteller\, captivating his audience with vulnerable ballads of love and loss – with a dash of uptempo guitar pickin’ and humour for good measure.\nwww.benmatchettmusic.com\nInstagram @benmatchettmusic\nFB @benmatchettmusic\n\nTHEATRE | BREAK A LEG BY BRIAN FIDLER*\n*The participation of this Artist is arranged by permission of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association under the provisions of the Dance•Opera•Theatre Policy.\nBreak a Leg is a collectively improvised tale inspired by Tramadol\, extra-strength Tylenol and the power of community. Created through the haze of a badly broken leg\, Fidler draws the audience into his experience through storytelling and games that speak to the better part of human nature and our innate desire to help each other in challenging circumstances.\nBrian Fidler- Performer/Creator\nFor over 20 years Brian has been making theatre\, creating outdoor multi-disciplinary events and directing shows in his hometown of Whitehorse\, Yukon (the Traditional Territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council). His cardboard science fiction puppet shows and original plays have been presented across the country and have toured to every community in the Yukon. Brian is the Creative Producer of Theatre in the Bush\, a site specific outdoor event set deep in the boreal forest. In the summer of 2024 Brian will return to Wells to create a customized version of Theatre in the Bush as part of the ArtsWells Festival.\nwww.ramshackletheatre.ca\nInstagram: @ramshackletheatre\n\nMUSIC | GENEVIEVE JAIDE\nGenevieve’s latest release\, “Why Am I Like This”\, was written as a coping mechanism to work through her personal mental health journey. The title track is a familiar story about social anxiety in which you wish you could promptly teleport *literally* anywhere from the situation that you are in – a pretty relatable feeling. The EP sifts through different memories and digs deep into the strange realities of one’s messy mind. The genre jumps around from alternative\, folk\, indie-pop\, to Canadiana\, but maintains Jaide’s lyrically driven\, terrifically vulnerable singer-songwriter vibe.\nGenevieve Jaide is a northern blooded songstress inspired by the environment\, nature\, and the alluring people she has met throughout the years. She carefully releases heavy emotions through lyrics and melodies\, and pairs these feelings with a groovy alternative vibe.\nHer folk alternative sound is accompanied by: Brock Patch\, Connor Pritchard\, Michael Lurincic and Calvin Hilde.\nGenevieve currently resides in Northern BC on Lheidli T’enneh Territory with her partner\, two orange cats\, and dog.\nhttps://www.genevievejaide.com\nInstagram: @genevievejaide\nFacebook @GenevieveJaide

SUMMARY:Pier 21
DESCRIPTION:Pier 21 is a moving musical\, written and directed by Allen Desnoyer\, and uses a blend of Celtic and swing music to tell the stories of those who fled from Europe and arrived at Pier 21\, the gateway to Canada. \nDesnoyers said the concept for the show was something he had been thinking about for the better part of a decade. \n“When Syrian refugees began arriving in my hometown of Ladner\, B.C. in late 2016\, the tenant at my home was from Libya and became a translator to local refugees and it seemed crucial to find a way to tell a story of people fleeing a war zone\, but also make it an entertaining show\,” he said in an email interview. \nA visit to Pier 21 in Halifax in 2017 inspired him to begin writing a Celtic flavoured show that could incorporate immigrants and Second World War brides as well as swing music. \n“Finding out that Pier 21 was where the troops departed from clinched the need to focus on the (Second World War) era itself and provided the show with a clear beginning\, middle and end\,” he said. \nThe production has been embraced and has been performed close to 250 times across Canada including a visit to Pier 21 in 2019. The pandemic cancelled the show that was planned for Ottawa on the 75th anniversary of VE Day and one planned for Steinbach in spring of 2020.

SUMMARY:Jake's Gift
DESCRIPTION:Jake’s Gift returns to the Sunset Theatre stage this summer on Saturday\, July 15th and Friday\, September 8th. This multi-award winning play is written and performed by Julia Mackey and Directed by Dirk Van Stralen. It was one of three plays to come out of our inaugural Exploration Series in 2006. \nSynopsis: \nJake’s Gift is a surprisingly funny drama about a Canadian WW2 veteran’s reluctant return to Normandy for the 60th Anniversary of D-Day. \nWhile revisiting the shores of Juno beach\, Jake encounters Isabelle\, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village. Isabelle’s inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts – most notably the war-time death of his eldest brother\, Chester\, a once promising young musician. \nAt its heart\, Jake’s Gift is about the legacy of remembrance and makes personal the story behind one soldier’s grave. \nWritten & Performed by Julia Mackey \nDirected by Dirk Van Stralen \nwww.jakesgift.com \nThe show is 1 Act and runs 65 minutes with no intermission. \nTickets are $20 for Adults\, $18 for Sunset Theatre Members and $10 for Teens and Kids. The play is recommended for Ages 10 +

SUMMARY:Jake's Gift
DESCRIPTION:Jake’s Gift returns to the Sunset Theatre stage this summer on Saturday\, July 15th and Friday\, September 8th. This multi-award winning play is written and performed by Julia Mackey and Directed by Dirk Van Stralen. It was one of three plays to come out of our inaugural Exploration Series in 2006. \nSynopsis: \nJake’s Gift is a surprisingly funny drama about a Canadian WW2 veteran’s reluctant return to Normandy for the 60th Anniversary of D-Day. \nWhile revisiting the shores of Juno beach\, Jake encounters Isabelle\, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village. Isabelle’s inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts – most notably the war-time death of his eldest brother\, Chester\, a once promising young musician. \nAt its heart\, Jake’s Gift is about the legacy of remembrance and makes personal the story behind one soldier’s grave. \nWritten & Performed by Julia Mackey \nDirected by Dirk Van Stralen \nwww.jakesgift.com \nThe show is 1 Act and runs 65 minutes with no intermission. \nTickets are $20 for Adults\, $18 for Sunset Theatre Members and $10 for Teens and Kids. The play is recommended for Ages 10 +

SUMMARY:Sawney's Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Sawney’s Legacy tells the story of James Anderson\, the first published poet of note in British Columbia. \nThis play is written and performed by Brendan Bailey with Direction by Dirk Van Stralen. It was developed in part through The Sunset Theatre’s annual Exploration Series\, and will be presented once a month this summer on June 30th\, July 14th and August 25th. \nAbout the Poet: James Anderson was the first published poet of note in British Columbia. His Sawney’s Letters and Cariboo Rhymes has been of tremendous historical relevance and is quoted regularly in publications regarding the Cariboo Gold Rush. Born in 1835\, raised and educated in Scotland at the prestigious Dollar Academy\, and one of fifteen children\, he became lord for the Anderson family estate. While resident along Williams Creek during the Cariboo Gold Rush\, he was involved as an owner\, investor\, and labourer in a number of mining pursuits\, but was also heavily involved in many community and social endeavours and was notably respected and well-liked\, particularly for his legal aptitude\, commentative verse\, and singing voice. \nCONTENT WARNING: Sawney’s Legacy is a period piece and explores privileged views of the nineteenth century Caucasian society\, as well as addressing adult themes around family trauma and bias. \nSawney’s Legacy runs approximately 60 minutes in length. \nPlaywright/Researcher/Performer: Brendan Bailey \nProduction Manager/Stage Manager/Lighting Design: Emily Lindstrom \nDirector and Poster Design: Dirk Van Stralen \nResearch and Historical Consultant: Richard Thomas Wright \nIndigenous Consultants: Cheryl Chapman and Mike Retasket \nChinese Consultant: Dr. Ying-Ying Chen \nTheology Consultants: David and Michelle Lieffertz \nCariboo Lodge #4 Consultant: Neil Vant \nNoble Players Logo (design\, image\, and intellectual property): Caitlin Bailey \nCover and Poster Image: Emily Lindstrom \nCostume Advisors and Wardrobe Support: Michelle Lieffertz and Patti Bailey \nHISTORICAL NOTES: The historic dates and events are (or are as close of an educated assumption to) documented\, sourced\, and cited fact. In writing this play\, the playwright has worked within the given historical circumstances and drawn from historic publications to breathe life to fact. \nNoble Players Theatrics is a Canadian production company focused on sharing stories connected to our historic gold rushes. Noble refers to the properties of gold which we feel serve as an effective metaphor for artistic integrity and entertainment value. \nContact: nobleplayerstheatrics@gmail.com

SUMMARY:For Science!
DESCRIPTION:A study in comedy. \nRated PG: Family-friendly\, but designed for adults. \nBill Nye the Science Guy meets Blue Man Group in an absurd investigation of instant gratification and celebration of the scientific method. \nThe Professor and her Lab Assistant need YOU for their research.

It begins with ringing a simple desk bell\, includes a Nerf gun shootout\, and ends in a spectacular musical finale. \nIncorporating projections and some truly terrible science puns\, For Science! appeals to the nerd in all of us\, and sparks the utter joy of losing ourselves to curiosity. \nCreated & performed by Christine Lesiak & Ian Walker\nDirecting consultant: Deanna Fleysher\nSoftware designer: Adrian MacKenzie\nVideo design: Navras Kamal\nMusic consultants: Chase Padgett & Leif Ingebrigtsen\nPerformance consultant: Jan Henderson \nRuntime: Approximately 55 min.
