SUMMARY:Unlocking Stories: An Evening of Music w/ Zach Kleisinger
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7:30 PM.\nUnlock you Family Story (www.imarts.com/upcoming-workshops/2023/unlockyourfamilystory) is capped off with an evening of music\, story and wit from Vancouver’s Zach Kleisinger. \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nZach writes lyrically-driven songs in the contemporary\, darkened-folk\, singer-songwriter style. His words often feel like a bathroom mirror\, while his compositions tend to conjure an emotion akin to the heartbreakers on Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks. The strength of Kleisinger’s songwriting has a simple yet poetic intimacy that illustrates profound messages by magnifying the little things.\nSince releasing his EP\, I Hope It’s Calm\, Then\, in 2018\, Kleisinger has established himself within the alt-folk music community\, performing hundreds of concerts across Canada\, the UK\, Europe\, and the US. His live performances have gathered him a loyal audience\, where the comfort of his warm baritone voice and magnetic songs are often juxtaposed\, oddly and satisfyingly\, by dry\, unrehearsed humour.\nKleisinger’s latest record\, Their Symposium\, was released in August 2021 via DevilDuck Records to widespread acclaim. Since its release\, Their Symposium has charted on college radio across the US and Canada\, received generous airplay on Canada’s nationally syndicated radio network CBC\, and earned numerous publications in magazines such as Canadian Musician\, Americana UK\, Atwood\, and American Pancake. In the deep sea of indie-folk songwriters\, Zach Kleisinger is a narrator of raw emotions and real tales that will draw you into an intimate\, familiar world.\nwww.zachkleisinger.com\n⁠\nLOCATION:⁠\nThe Sunset Theatre\, Wells BC⁠\n⁠\nTICKETS⁠\n$25.00 General Admission\n$20.00 Member\n$15 Youth under 18\nFree Youth under 10\nFree for Unlock Your Family Story Students\nThis event falls at the tail end of Unlock your Family Story\, a family history writing workshop. \nYou can get your tickets here: https://island-mountain-arts.square.site⁠ \n*A note for ticket buyers* – Square online requires a street address to process payments – if you encounter any issues\, call our office (250)-994-3466 between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM from Monday – Friday. \nLive Music Presentation is made possible for Island Mountain Arts through the Government of Canada Department of Canadian Heritage\, the Province of British Columbia and Creative BC.

SUMMARY:Sawney's Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Please join us this Thursday\, May 18th @ 8PM for a special performance of Sawney’s Legacy at the Sunset Theatre in Wells.\nDate: Thursday\, May 18 @ 8PM\nRunning Time: @ 70 minutes – no intermission\nBox Office Opens @ 7:30PM\nLicensed Concession Opens @ 7:30PM\nTickets are $20.00 or Pay What You Can and can be purchased at the door or online at https://www.sunset-theatre.com/tickets \nABOUT Sawney’s Legacy:\nSawney’s Legacy is written and performed by Brendan Bailey.\nBrendan has very generously offered this show as a fundraiser for the Sunset Theatre. Thank you Brendan! \nAn Edwardian doctor explores the legacy his father\, poet James Anderson\, of Sawney’s Letters renown\, left in a far away mining camp in a place called Cariboo. \nThis solo-performer play is written and performed by Brendan Bailey\, directed by Dirk Van Stralen\, designed by Emily Bailey\, produced by Noble Players Theatrics\, and developed with thanks to research provided by historian\, Richard Wright. \nSawney’s Legacy is a period piece\, runs approximately 70 minutes in length\, and at various times during the show explores privileged views of 19th century caucasian society as well as addressing adult themes around family trauma and bias. It is not recommended for those under 10 years of age. \nA biographical play about Barkerville poet\, James Anderson\, Sawney’s Legacy explores an enduring connection between father and son.\nAnderson\, an 1860s Scottish miner\, was known as the Bard of Barkerville and the Poet Laureate of the Cariboo. He was one of the province’s first published poets\, and was also known for his poems and lyrics compiled as Sawney’s Letters in 1867. He left Barkerville to return home to Scotland after nearly a decade in late 1871. His 10 year-old son\, David\, would grow to take after him as a prolific writer in the late 19th Century. \nSawney’s Legacy was developed in part through the Sunset Theatre’s Exploration Series on the ancestral lands of the Dakelh\, Lhtako Dené\, and Secwépemc Peoples in 2020. This was followed by staged readings in 2021 and a premiere during the Sunset Theatre Speakeasy Festival in July 2022. In late August 2022\, Sawney’s Legacy was performed in the Victoria Fringe Festival to great acclaim. \nFeedback for the play has included: “mesmerizing\,” “amazing\,” “deeply sensational” “a really specia lexperience\,” “awesome\,” “an insightful\, complex and comforting escape\,” “beautifully written and performed\,” “nothing short of remarkable\,” “a rich transport back into time\,” and “all history should be taught this way.”

SUMMARY:National Canadian Film Day at the Sunset Theatre
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Canadian Films we will be hosting a day of all Canadian Film Screenings at the Sunset Theatre in Wells along with hundreds of Theatres across Canada for the All You Can Watch Buffet.\nBox Office will open at 11:30AM on April 19th. \nTickets: Pay What You Can\nHere’s our Line Up of Canadian Films for #CanFilmDay \n12PM – Long Time Running (2017)\nA chronicle of The Tragically Hip’s Final 2016 tour.\n \n2PM – Viking (2022)\nThe Viking Society is recruiting volunteers for the first manned mission to Mars. The goal is to form a B-team that will mirror the mission here on Earth in order to find solutions to the interpersonal problems that the Mars-bound crew is experiencing. The film tells the story of David\, a high school gym teacher\, who seizes this opportunity to revive his dream of becoming an astronaut and making a difference. Viking is a little absurd\, falling somewhere between a high-concept comedy and a straight up allegorical tale. It’s a story about the gap between our dreams and reality.\nhttps://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/viking_2022 \n4PM – Scarborough (2022)\nThree children become friends while living in a low-income neighbourhood.\n \n7PM – First We Eat (2020) • Hot Docs\nLiving just south of the Arctic Circle\, filmmaker Suzanne Crocker and her skeptical family attempt to ban all grocery store food for one year.\n \n9PM – I Like Movies (2022)\nSocially inept 17-year-old cinephile\, Lawrence Kweller (Isaiah Lehtinen) gets a job at a video store\, where he forms a complicated friendship with his older female manager.\n \n#CanFilmDay 2023!\nHelp us celebrate Canadian Films on National Canadian Film Day!

SUMMARY:Lucky Break • Written & Performed by Chase Padgett (6 Guitars)
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to have Chase Padgett (6 Guitars) back on the Sunset Stage with his new show LUCKY BREAK.\nDATE: Monday\, September 5\, 2022\nTIME: 8PM\nRUNNING TIME: 60 minutes\nTICKETS: $20\nSynopsis:\nChase has wowed Wells/Cariboo Audiences previously with his multi-award winning show 6 Guitars.\nIn his latest work\, he uses his trademark singing\, guitar playing\, storytelling\, and music to deliver a deeply personal tale about gifts in disguise.\nDuring this 60-minute show\, Chase brings the audience through 3 different chapters of his 2021.\nThe first chapter revolves around the 2 months he spent taking care of his mother after a bad fall broke her leg. The joys and struggles of caring for an aging parent are contrasted by the second chapter of the show; the 2 months he spent filming “Alter Ego” for Fox. This reality based singing show discovered Chase from the only TikTok he had every posted of him singing. The ups and downs of becoming a semi-finalist on a major network talent competition are on full display including how what we see at home doesn’t always match what happens in the room.\nThe third chapter centers on saying goodbye to living in Vancouver\, Canada\, to embrace an unknown future riddled with questions and doubt. Only Chase’s classic singing\, guitar playing\, and storytelling could weave these three seemingly unconnected threads into a thrilling and moving journey of what really matters most when Hollywood comes calling.

Shoshanna’s concert will include sorrowful Scottish airs\, cheerful Irish jigs\, originals and even a pop song for good measure! Shoshanna will be joined by partner in music and life\, Dave Godber on guitar and Irish whistle.\n\nABOUT SHOSHANNA:\nShoshanna Godber is a Canadian harpist\, singer\, pianist and banjo player. She began her musical education with classical violin\, piano and voice but was always drawn to her mother’s Celtic music records. She started playing the harp while completing her Bachelor of Music at the University of British Columbia\, and it very quickly eclipsed all of her other musical interests. Her repertoire has expanded from Celtic to traditional folk from all over the world\, classical and contemporary compositions. She is a diverse performer and enjoys giving concerts of traditional and contemporary music with her guitarist (and husband) Dave Godber. She also performs regularly with Alban Classical and with her colleagues for the Prince George Conservatory of Music’s chamber concert series. Shoshanna has recorded three albums of children’s folk music and has contributed to other artist’s projects as a session musician. Her catalogue of sheet music on Harp Column and her website is steadily increasing with her arrangements for harp and voice\, harp ensemble and solo harp. Since 2012 Shoshanna has taught harp and directed a harp ensemble at the Conservatory and loves empowering her students to achieve their harp dreams. Shoshanna loved being the Novice Harp instructor at the IMA Harp School last year and is looking forward to connecting with harpists in person this summer.\nhttps://www.shoshannagodber.com\nhttps://www.youtube.com/c/ShoshannaGodber\n\nLOCATION\nThe Sunset Theatre\, Wells\, BC AND Online\n\nTICKETS\nThis event is a part of the Island Mountain Arts Harp + Cello School and is pay what you can.

SUMMARY:Shield Maiden
DESCRIPTION:WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY MELANIE TEICHROEB \nDIRECTED BY NICOLLE NATTRASS \nSTAGE/ROAD MANAGER – SANDY CUMBERLAND \n\n “More than a millennium ago in what’s now southeastern Sweden\, a wealthy Viking warrior was laid to rest\, in a resplendent grave filled with swords\, arrowheads\, and two sacrificed horses. The site reflected the ideal of Viking male warrior life\, or so many archaeologists had thought. New DNA analyses of the bones\, however\, confirm a revelatory find: the grave belonged to a woman.” \nFunny. Sexy. Fierce. Unapologetic! Travel back to tenth century Sweden for a Norse RED Talk. Think TED Talks with a Viking twist. Viking warrior\, Ingrid\, worked hard to get where she is\, but it’s lonely at the top. She’s looking for the courageous and honourable to join her. You know\, folks who know how to have fun and don’t mind the notion of a little death. This warrior is battle hardened but cracks in her emotional armour reveal a struggle with forces beyond her control. Rage\, sexuality\, equality\, grief and trauma are addressed with humour\, irreverence and compassion. SHIELD MAIDEN represents the archetypal version of female strength modern women are looking for in themselves. It also invites men to be allies in the battle for equality. \n“Ingrid the Warrior arrived at our festival fully-formed and ready to kick ass. Shield Maiden sparks conversations about gender equality\, feminine empowerment\, and the #metoo movement – with a flamethrower. I’ve never seen a theatre crowd leave a show so charged up.
“ \n– Mitch Miyagawa\, Producer\, Cultivate Festival \n“Shield Maiden by Melanie Teichroeb is a fierce and funny mashup of vikings and a Tony Robbins workshop\, and was truly one of the highlights this year of our 26th annual fringe festival\, Fronterafest. Not only is it a great script\, but Melanie’s performance was just incredible.” \n– Ken Webster\, Artistic Director\, Hyde Park Theatre
