Moondance - The Van Morrison Songbook
2026-05-08 19:30 - 21:00 | Venables Theatre, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
Moondance”: The Van Morrison SongbookFeaturing Tiller’s Folly’s Bruce Coughlan, winner of the 2024 ISSA (International Singer Songwriters Association) Top Male Vocalist!Mystic Celtic soul singer and songwriter Van Morrison has placed his indelible stamp upon Western music culture with a career spanning over half a century!

In “Van the Man,” Mr. Coughlan, Bruce, brings one of his major influences to life with an uncanny ability to make you shut your eyes and think the great Van is in the room.As well as being an award-winning singer and songwriter with groups like Bare Facts, The Hitops, and Tiller’s Folly, Bruce has long been recognized as one of the great vocal interpreters of our time. In this show, he puts all of that experience and interpretive skill into sharp focus as “Van the Man.”

Be prepared to be totally entertained as “Van the Man” brings, with the utmost respect, energy, and joy, this great icon’s career to life.He emerged in the early 1960s as vocalist for Irish blues group Them. Even in the early days, Van Morrison had a distinctive sound, and he laid down his uniquely expressive vocal lines with confidence and soulful conviction. So convincingly that songs like Gloria, Here Comes the Night, and Baby, Please Don’t Go… and then in 1967 came Brown Eyed Girl, one of, if not the most iconic sing-along songs of the last century!

In 1970, Van Morrison recorded two albums: Moondance and Van Morrison, His Band and the Street Choir. From these two albums alone flowed a stream of enduring classics: And It Stoned Me, Moondance, Crazy Love, Caravan, Into the Mystic, Blue Money, Domino, and so many more.​Vocalist Bruce Coughlan (Tiller’s Folly) fronts this six-piece music revue, performing our picks of Van Morrison’s most lively, engaging, and best- loved songs!

About the Performance

Rising Stars is BACK by hugely popular demand! For the fourth year in a row, we’re bringing you an incredible night of live student performances featuring SOSS’ own incredibly talented rising stars! Prepare to be blown away by these musicians, vocalists, and dancers as they rock the house with fantastic music. If you haven’t had a chance to see it before, don’t miss this opportunity to come out and support this community’s ultra-talented up-and-coming youth performers. Come early to check out some spectacular student art and photography in the theatre foyer.

​

Performers

Georgia Fewchuk

Georgia, grade 9, started her journey into show business at dance, which she has been training in for the past 11 years. She performed as “Gingy” in the Oliver Elementary School production of Shrek, the Musical Jr. and as Maui in Moana, the Musical Jr. These experiences, plus a recent vocal performance in a local drag show, have affirmed for Georgia her love of singing.

Liam Posch

Grade 11 student Liam is a passionate piano and guitar player who has performed in SOSS musical productions of Footloose and Rock of Ages, as well as Christmas Chaos 2025. Liam continues to expand his musical skills and develop his band, Tombstone of Existence.

Elliot Bousfield: “Messa Piece”

Messa Piece was born from the heart of their creator as a manifestation of their inner self. They began performing at 3 years old in dance and found their love of the stage. Dance continued throughout childhood including competitions. Starting high school, they discovered they could be creative in more ways and began to experiment with makeup and wigs and also found their love of art. This led them to drag workshops and Messa Piece (A play on the word Masterpiece) was born with the idea that no matter what nothing is perfect and even something crazy can be beautiful.

Fanilo Andrianasolo

We’re delighted to see Fanilo, grade 12, return one last time to the stage again for Rising Stars. A multi-instrumental musician and vocalist, Fanilo has had the opportunity to perform a variety of venues, including the Philip T. Young Recital Hall at the University of Victoria. She has done both solo and choir accompaniment performances on piano.

Abbygail Wolfe

16 year-old Abbygail Wolfe is back for her third year of Rising Stars, after recently starring in the 2026 SOSS production of Rock of Ages in the role of Anita Bath. Musical theatre has been a passion of Abby’s for the past seven years. When Abby isn’t singing or participating in theatre, she’s a highly active athlete in volleyball and ultimate frisbee.

​

Gavin Baerg

Gavin, grade 9, has been playing guitar for the past two years. He’s also been involved in the SOSS musical production of Footloose and more recently, Rock of Ages, in the role of Franz. Gavin has enjoyed performing music in front of audiences from a young age; he’s also involved in a number of sports teams at SOSS.

​

Leo Rodriguez

Grade 12 student Leo Rodriguez seems to be able to simply pick up an instrument and make magic happen. Whether playing electric guitar, piano, or drums, Leo’s musicality shines as he plays with heart and dedication.

Henna Brar

Grade 11 student Henna Brar has been a dancer for the past 11 years, and she has had a love of acting from a very young age. Two years ago, Henna discovered her love of singing and she has performed in the past three SOSS musical productions. Henna is also a passionate athlete who plays volleyball, soccer and, just recently, golf!

Ezra Toon

Grade 11 student Ezra Toon taught himself piano at age 12 and, over the past 5 years, has also learned how to play guitar and bass. He is lead vocalist and bassist for Mudrats, who have become local performing legends over the past two years. Ezra has taken on starring roles in SOSS musicals and showcase assemblies for the past four years. Ezra expects that music will continue to be big part of his future after he graduates next year.

Silas McAllister

Guitarist and vocalist Silas McAllister is an essential member of Mudrats, but he is also a performer in his own right whose impressive instrumental and vocal talents are not to be missed.

Rocky Toon

For grade 12 student Rocky Toon, music has been about commitment and the courage to step outside his comfort zone. As the drummer for Mudrats, he has performed multiple gigs and festivals, including a recent show at Frank Venables Theatre—an experience that reflects both. Over the past three years, Rocky has shown remarkable growth and confidence as a live performer Most notably, he stepped out from behind the drum kit and into the spotlight this year as Stacee Jaxx in Rock of Ages. He looks forward to singing on stage alongside his best friend, guitarist Leo Pedersen, who will be performing for the very first time.

​

Leo Pedersen

Guitarist and grade 12 student Leo Pedersen makes his debut performance alongside Rocky Toon. An old soul inspired by everything from blues and hard rock, Leo plays with ferocious attention to detail.

Edwin Lee

Busting out from Mudrats and Spillway, grade 11 student Edwin Lee has impressed audiences with his guitar prowess for the past three years. More recently, Edwin has developed his love of vocals, which we’re excited to hear more of at Rising Stars.

Spillway:

Spillway is an indie/alternative rock band that combines the collective creativity and talents of its lead vocalist and guitarist Tommy Atkinson, guitarist and backing vocalist Edwin Lee, bassist Anthony Pearle, and drummer Payton Jones. They strive to break new ground by writing and performing original songs. Both Tommy and Edwin draw from their experience as members of Mudrats, and channel their passion for making music into Spillway.

Oliver Theatre & Train Wreck Comedy Presents - Tim Nutt & Friends
2026-05-02 19:30 - 21:30 | Oliver Theatre, 6387 Main Street British Columbia Oliver V0H 1T0 Canada, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
For over 20 years, Tim Nutt has been bending, twisting, and launching comedy into entirely new dimensions.

He doesn’t just tell jokes — he builds them. What starts as a simple story quickly spirals into explosive punchlines, razor-sharp one-liners, bizarre concepts, and brilliantly twisted observations about everyday life. His comedy sneaks up on you, builds momentum, and then hits with laugh-after-laugh precision.

Often compared to comedy greats like Billy Connolly and George Carlin, Tim is a consummate storyteller and seasoned entertainer. His ability to weave clever writing with unpredictable angles makes every performance feel fresh, dynamic, and unforgettable.

Tim has appeared at major comedy festivals around the world, including:

• Just For Laughs – Montreal & Toronto• Winnipeg Comedy Festival• Halifax Comedy Festival• Edinburgh Festival Fringe• Just For Laughs National Tour• Hubcap Comedy Festival• Cat’s Laugh Festival (Kilkenny, Ireland)• St. John’s Comedy Festival• Comedy Now• Stand Up in Kandahar (CBC)

From international stages to sold-out theatres across Canada, Tim Nutt continues to push comedy to explosive new levels — and this night is no exception.

And for this special concert series event… he’s bringing friends.

Featuring:Joey Commisso

Joey Commisso brings a unique comedic perspective with a sharply off-beat delivery that has delighted audiences across Canada, the USA, and Europe. A Vancouver Comedy Award nominee and performer at JFL Vancouver, Joey’s quirky observations and unexpected punchlines make him a comedy experience you won’t forget. His ability to find humour in the sideways details of life keeps audiences leaning in — and laughing hard.

Chuck Byrn

With over three decades of professional stand-up experience, Chuck Byrn is one of Canada’s most accomplished and road-tested comedians. He’s performed in every province and territory in the country and toured internationally, including multiple overseas tours for NATO and the Canadian Armed Forces. Chuck has appeared on Just for Laughs, Comedy Now!, The Debaters, Last Comic Standing, the Halifax Comedy Festival, and the Winnipeg Comedy Festival.

He also spent five seasons as Head Writer for CBC’s hit series Still Standing, solidifying his reputation as both a top-tier performer and an elite comedy writer.

Having headlined major comedy clubs and theatres nationwide and featured on numerous IG Wealth Management Comedy Tours, Chuck delivers polished, high-energy comedy that connects instantly with any audience.

Tim Nutt & Friends is proud to be part of the Train Wreck Comedy Concert Series— bringing premier stand-up comedy experiences to audiences who appreciate the very best in live entertainment.

Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is an exuberant comedy and feminist revisioning of Shakespeare’s Othello and Romeo and Juliet. It takes us from a dusty office in Canada’s Queen’s University, into the fraught and furious worlds of two of Shakespeare’s best-known tragedies, and turns them upside-down.​Constance Ledbelly is the beleaguered “spinster” academic, and unlikely heroine who embarks on a quest for Shakespearean origins and, ultimately, her own identity. When she deciphers an ancient and neglected manuscript, Constance is propelled through a very modern rabbit hole and lands smack in the middle of the tragic turning points of each play in turn. Her attempts to save first Desdemona, then Juliet, from their harrowing fates, result in a wild unpredictable ride through comedy and near-tragedy, as mild-mannered Constance learns to love, sword-fight, dance Renaissance-style, and master a series of disguises… Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) a gender-bendy, big-hearted and crazily intelligent romp, where irony and anger sing in perfect harmony with innocence and poignancy.“Clever, pointed and entertaining… This play is one of the wildest and wooliest feminist reappraisals that the theatre has seen, and one of the most intellectually ambitious.”The Globe and Mail​“Stratford-upon-Acid: that’s where MacDonald’s dizzying Goodnight Desdemona lives… MacDonald traipses through the canon with glee… Lots of clever fun.”The Village Voice
