THE ARROGANT WORMS
March 10, 2024 | 7:30PM
The Arrogant Worms have spent over three decades making fun of a big dumb world. Their songs have been played on the radio, the internet, and in outer space on the space shuttle Endeavour!

Adults: $37 | Seniors: $34 | Students: $16

MOTUS O: CONFESSIONS OF A PROFESSIONAL DANCER
April 10, 2024 | 7:30PM
It is strange to think how a gymnast, a sheep shearer and a figure skater could have their paths meet and eventually become Co-Artistic Directors of a dance theatre company in Canada. Yet, as it turns out, that diversity has become the essence of MOTUS O. Where backgrounds and talents collide and then reform, creating a dynamic team that explores the dramatic and relishes the physical – and all with a touch of humour.
Adults: $37 | Seniors: $34 | Students: $16
Good art is art that allows you to enter it from a variety of angles and to emerge with a variety of views.
