SUMMARY:The Sunset Cabaret - 50th Edition!
DESCRIPTION:The Sunset Cabaret is a long-standing tradition at the Sunset Theatre\, inspired by the coffee houses of the 1960s and the popular Theatrical Happenings of the 1970s.  IMA used to host periodical Coffee Houses\, inviting anyone and everyone to participate in an evening of sharing creative stories\, songs\, poetry\, dance\, film\, whatever was your fancy.  Since re-opening its doors in 2006\, there have been 44 Sunset Cabarets\, hosting 100s of artists from Wells\, Barkerville or just driving through town. Intended to be a fundraiser for the Sunset Theatre\, the Cabarets have become a tradition over the years. \nThe Sunset Cabarets were hosted by our beloved Tim Sutherland who gathered the group together to create a raucous and memorable evening. The baton has been passed to Stu Cawood and James Douglas who give of their time to carry on this tradition\, bringing together the community in laughter and song. \nAll ages are welcome\, however extreme\, over-the-top\, risque content is typical. Course language and adult themes are often featured. \nDoors open @ 7:30PM • Show starts at 8PM \nNB • Adult content

SUMMARY:Woody Sed
DESCRIPTION:Written and performed by Tom Jones\nDirected by John Murphy \nWoody Sed is a “powerful piece delivered by a powerhouse talent” (Uptown Magazine) about the life and times of Woody Guthrie\, and the songs he sang about them. Woody said: “All you can write is what you see.” \nWell\, Woody Guthrie saw it and wrote about it–from the dust bowl of Oklahoma to the orange groves of California\, to the towers of New York City; from Hobo Jungles to Union rallies and the Merchant Marine. Both a biography of a seminal American musician and an epic drama of Greek proportions\, Woody Sed charts Guthrie’s rise to fame and his struggle to escape a harsh fate that dogged his footsteps to the end. \nFeaturing Woody’s songs\, the story offers a cascade of colorful characters\, all bundled up in a true to life tale. Woody was a provocative writer; his words ring as true today as they did in his own troubled times. Woody wrote and sang his truth and his songs still inspire us to join in and carry on. \n>>Woody Sed is pure magnificence.<< 5 stars – Tom Eremondi\, Saskatoon Star Phoenix

SUMMARY:International Harp & Cello School: Instructor Concert
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an evening of live music presented by the instructors of this years International Harp and Cello School at the Sunset Theatre. Admission is $25 and free for IMA students. Doors at 7pm\, Concert starts at 7:30pm. \nAbout the Instructors \nOriginally from Brittany\, Tristan Le Govic was only six years old when he began learning the Celtic harp at the Conservatoire of Traditional Music of Soye (Plœmeur). The attraction to music will never leave him. During his studies he gained numerous prizes and nominations that emphasize the recognition of a talented and accomplished musician. Performing on international stages\, critics pronounce him as one of the leading Celtic harpers today. \nCanadian harpist and composer Sharlene Wallace is a diverse musician performing\, recording and teaching on both lever and pedal harps. Winner of the Lyon & Healy International Pop & Jazz Lever Harp Competition (USA) and the Dinan Concours d’Improvisation de Rencontres International de Harp Celtique (Brittany)\, she has given concerts and workshops across Canada\, the United States\, France and Italy. \nSeumas Gagné has been playing the music of the Scottish and Irish Gaels on the Celtic harp for more than thirty years. After finishing his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Music at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle\, his attention returned to his first love\, the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland. He was one of the founding members of the band Wicked Celts and recorded one CD with them\, Prophecy and Blessing in 1997. That same year\, Seumas and five friends from Slighe nan Gaidheal journeyed to the Royal Scottish National Mòd (a Gaelic music competition) in Inverness\, Scotland where he won the Elspeth Hyllestad Trophy for solo clàrsach performance. At the time\, he was the only American to have won this award. IMA is pleased to welcome Seumas back to the Harp School this year! \nMarilyn Rummel has been playing for over thirty years. She teaches in her Harp Canada Studio in Duncan\, Vancouver Island\, and at the Nanaimo Conservatory of Music and is the founder of the Island Mountain Arts International Harp School. Since establishing herself on the Island\, Marilyn has built up a very busy teaching schedule and is delighted to share what she’s learned. Her students range in age from children to seniors\, and are at all levels of study. \nMorag Northey has lived a balance of excellent training and experience in Cello Performance and String Pedagogy. Her philosophy is actively represented through her educational choices: a Masters degree from University of Calgary with violinist\, music icon\, and dedicated teacher; Tom Rolston\, an Undergraduate Performance Degree with well-published master teacher and pedagogue Phyllis Young\, where she worked five years in the University of Texas at Austin’s world-renowned teacher training String Project. Northey holds an Associate of Arts in Pedagogy and Performance from the Victoria Conservatory of Music and Camosun College with cellist and pedagogue; James Hunter\, has completed the Toronto Professional Orchestral Training Program and attended numerous masterclasses and residencies at the Banff Centre under artists such as Zara Nelsova\, Aldo Parisot and Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi.

SUMMARY:Breastless
DESCRIPTION:Written by Emma Jarrett\nDirection and dramaturgy by Danette Boucher \nAfter a development phase in 2018-19 (working title: Breastless)\, Emma Jarrett’s one-woman play is a sometimes humorous\, often thoughtful and quizzical rollercoaster ride of emotion\, and an honest portrayal of being at the mercy of modern medicine\, saved by the care of other practitioners and buoyed up by loved ones. \nThis intimate\, unflinching glimpse into the ravages of a cancer diagnosis will make you laugh\, think\, and feel.
