Oscar Wilde’s dazzling comedy of manners bursts to life with razor-sharp wit and deliciously clever dialogue. A sparkling romp of mistaken identities, secret romances, and satirical jabs at society-The Importance of Being Earnest is a timeless treasure that never goes out of style. Jessie Dean, director.

“Cows that type? Hens on strike! Whoever heard of such a thing!” When his granddaughter Jenny comes for a visit, Farmer Brown declares the farm a tech-free zone. He takes her laptop in the cold barn with the shivering cows who use her computer to type messages requesting blankets. “No way,” replies Farmer Brown. “No blankets!” The cows go on strike and the chickens join them in solidarity. No blankets? No milk! No eggs! Will Farmer Brown give in to the animals’ demands? Click, Clack, Moo is written by Billy Aronson (book), Kevin Del Aguila (lyrics), and Brad Alexander (music); based on the book by Doreen Cronin with illustrations by Betsy Lewin.

Bridge & Wolak’s Well-Being Concert invites audiences into a reflective and restorative musical journey that moves fluidly between classical, jazz, tango, and cinematic sound worlds. Through clarinet and digital accordion, the duo creates an intimate soundscape that balances moments of stillness with gentle energy, encouraging deep listening and emotional presence. Familiar melodies by Chopin, Morricone, Piazzolla, and Bach are reimagined with warmth and imagination, while improvisation and storytelling add a sense of play and human connection. Designed as a space to pause, breathe, and reset, this concert offers music not as performance alone, but as a shared experience of calm, memory, and renewal.

About: Bridge & Wolak are a globe-trotting musical duo from Canada who create life-affirming concerts full of beauty, virtuosity and humour. Michael Bridge, accordion, and Kornel Wolak, clarinet (both also play piano), met over a decade ago and immediately established an artistic alliance based on the attraction of opposites: Wolak-intensely focused with a world view infused with sardonic humour; Bridge-flexible and fearless with a playful wit. They share a love of classical, jazz and world music, a fascination with fusing genres and a passion for performance.

They’ve logged about 350,000 kilometres on the road-from Kraków to Quito, from France to Fargo, ND-about the same distance as a trip to the moon. Their concert offerings include a survey of musical hits from the 17th century to today, a program inspired by travel to the cosmos and a look at the outrageously scandalous behaviour of some of the greatest composers of all time.

In Big Band history, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra is recognized as one of the best all-around dance bands. It could swing with the best of them, and no other band could come close to Tommy’s when it came to playing ballads. Tommy Dorsey, “The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing,” was a master at creating warm, sentimental, and always musical moods. Frank Sinatra credited Tommy with teaching him breath control, which helped to create such vocal classics as There Are Such ThingsThis Love of Mine, and I’ll Never Smile Again. The music world lost Tommy at an early age, but his legacy of great music has transcended time. The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra still represents explosive and swinging Big Band entertainment at its very best.

GRIMMZ Fairy Tales is a new play for children that centers on two modern-day street performers, Jay and Will, who bring the time-honored stories of the Brothers Grimm to life with a contemporary urban spin. They’re known not just for their sounds but for the stories their music tells them through off-the-chart theatrical effects. Performed in hip-hop style amid a brick landscape with graffiti and flashing lights, the featured tales include Cinderella RemixRapunzel and Snow White & the Seven Shawties.
