SUMMARY:Epidermis Circus
DESCRIPTION:About the Performance\n\n“Hansen turns anything and everything into a puppet and makes it funny. A MUST-SEE!” \n\n“Utterly magical\, insanely inventive\, wickedly funny\, BEAUTIFULLY TWISTED\, and occasionally erotic! ★★★★★” – Free Press. \n\nThis beautifully twisted variety show is performed by Ingrid Hansen\, who also puppeteers for the Jim Henson Company’s Fraggle Rock and for Sesame Workshop. Watch behind-the-scenes as SNAFU creates a live puppet film\, animating cheeky vignettes in the palm of her hand and projecting them onto a huge screen. An “enormously entertaining\, one-hour madcap vaudeville show. It is chock full of riotous\, naughty\, and mystifying vignettes using her bare hands\, her face\, her mouth\, tiny toys\, and a doll’s head. Hansen’s hands-in-motion have the kind of presence that is often attributed to the greatest stage performers\, and their movement\, combined with her skill for vocalization\, establishes colorful characters playing out their scenarios — transfixing the audience\, and creating pin-drop silence interspersed with spontaneous bursts of laughter.” – Culture Catch NYC \n\n​ \n\nSurreal vignettes and stories emerge that celebrate the hilarious impossibility of being alive and having a body: these fragile bags of meat and bone\, carry us from place to place and allow us to laugh and snort and feel. SNAFU’s work has been compared to Wes Anderson and David Lynch\, yet “hilarious\, absurd and profoundly human\,” (the Star Phoenix Newspaper.) \n\n​ \n\nContent Warning \n\nEpidermis Circus includes cartoonish sexual content\, curse words\, and puppet suicide. There are moments of dark lighting\, loud music\, and surprises. Recommended for Audiences age 14+. \n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS:\n\nRegular – $35 \n\nSenior – $30 \n\nBuy Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Water Words
DESCRIPTION:About the Performance\n\nWater Words is a poetic theatre performance for young audiences that blends storytelling\, puppetry\, object theatre\, and live music to explore our relationship with water. \n\n​Two friends\, Mamby and Hélène\, live worlds apart: one in Senegal and the other in Canada. They both have burning feet\, one from hot sand\, the other from winter boots. Water separates them. One lives where there is an abundance of water\, snow\, and ice\, while the other must search for water and carry it home in buckets. \n\n​“MAMBY: I think that water carries everything we say. Water understands all languages.” \n\n​The main character is water\, a precious liquid that is scarce in many places. Before our eyes\, Hélène and Mamby give life and language to water in its many forms: spring water\, well water\, salt water\, rainwater\, and more. They give voice to the challenges\, fears\, frustrations\, and worries that come with both the lack and abundance of water\, taking us from the Sahel region in West Africa to North America.

SUMMARY:"The Noise Between Our Ears" | Ron James
DESCRIPTION:About the Performance \n\nWith a seismic level of socio-political change shifting a reality we long took for granted\, what better way to process the cacophonous overload of stimuli than in the language of laughs. \n\n‘Fresh out of the wrapping’ content skewers everything from the tyrannical Tangerine Genie south of the border looking to turn us into the 51st state\, to aging Baby Boomers now but twenty years away from roaming ‘the home’ in their Led Zeppelin onesies\, just one more sing a long away from taking a Stairway to Heaven! Alongside these macro issues is a window on the daily trials of a technologically compromised ADHD addled adult\, who came of age in a day when a ‘hash tag’ was something you got after getting too close to the hash knives! Whether getting comedic mileage with classic bits on generational differences in families then and now; teacher terrors of public-school days; hand me-down hockey gear; party hearty camping trips with pals in those ‘bullet proof days of yore’\, there’s something for everybody. ‘Ultimately though\, ‘The Noise Between Our Ears’ sees Ron as the ever struggling ‘Everyman’\, doing his best to make sense of a world off kilter while bedeviled by forces beyond his control\, where airlines constantly lose luggage\, stock portfolios nosedive\, mortality’s the new reality and the barber spends more time trimming your ears than he does your head! \n\n“Utterly Brilliant” – Ottawa Sun; “a comedic tour de force” – Globe & Mail;  “a unique brand of funny all his own” – Winnipeg Free Press; “fits of helpless laughter” – Halifax Chronicle Herald; “hysterically funny … at the top of his game” – Toronto Star; “gut-busting\, knee-slapping funny” – Ottawa Citizen\, “funniest man in Canada” – Victoria Times-Colonist; “a wheezing\, snorting\, chortling\, gasping night of hilarity” – Edmonton Sun; “fast\, funny and smart” – Montreal Gazette; “simply the best” – Toronto Sun; “thunderous standing ovation” – Saskatoon Star Phoenix.

SUMMARY:Aurora Piano Trio
DESCRIPTION:About the Performance \n\nThe Aurora Piano Trio has received praise for their passion\, exuberance\, and lyricism as well as sensational performances. Violinist Yuel Yawney and cellist Sungyong Lim\, members of the famed Borealis String Quartet\, joined together with the acclaimed pianist\, Libby Yu to form the Aurora Piano Trio. Each of the members of the Trio has performed around the world and bring their extensive chamber music experience together to create an ensemble of the highest calibre. \n\n​ \n\nFounded in 2019 and mentored by the great Canadian impresario\, George Zukerman\, the Trio has garnered much critical acclaim. Debuting for the Whistler Chamber Music Society in the Trio’s first season as part of a Western Canadian tour\, the remaining engagements were cancelled due to COVID. In 2021\, the Trio began rebooking engagements and that September was the season opening concert to a sold-out audience for the Cafe Classico Series at the Langley Community Music School. Since then\, the Trio has had numerous performances around BC\, from the Music by the Sea Festival in Victoria to standing ovations in Vancouver at the Orpheum ANNEX and the Centre Stage at Surrey City Hall. More recently\, the Aurora toured Vancouver Island performing in Port Alberni\, Hornby and Denman Islands\, as well as Qualicum Beach and Tofino and later presenting concerts in Eastern BC. Due to many audience requests\, the Aurora was invited back to perform at the Langley Community Music School for the Rose Gellert Hall Series. The Trio has also performed and taught at the recently inaugurated Cascade Peaks ChamberFest alongside artists from the Gryphon Trio\, New Orford and Borealis String Quartets. Among other highlights of this season was a thrilling performance of the Beethoven Triple Concerto with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra. With bookings into 2025\, the Aurora Piano Trio continues to enthral audiences wherever they perform. \n\n​ \n\nPart of the South Okanagan Concert Series \n\nFriday October 16 – Collage TradSunday November 15 – All the MadmenThursday January 21 – Aurora Piano TrioFriday April 2 – Virginia Sparvier-Wells Trio \n\nTICKETS: \n\nIndividual Event – $352-3 Events – $29.50 eachStudents – $5 \n\nBuy Series Tickets Here \n\nBuy Single Event Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Sink Or Swim
DESCRIPTION:About the Performance\n\nThe Shantyman of GREAT BIG SEA – Live in Concert! \n\nThis spring\, Séan McCann — The Shantyman — returns with a new set of original songs\, alongside the trusted favourites audiences know and love\, for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the moment we’re living in. Between constant noise\, relentless headlines\, and the pressure to keep moving without pause\, Sink or Swim asks a simple but vital question: how do we stay afloat when the world feels louder\, faster and heavier by the day. Armed with his guitar\, and an unwavering commitment to truth\, Séan invites audiences into a shared space of reflection\, resilience\, and release — where singing isn’t optional\, it’s essential. These are songs about the undertow — and what we do to resist it. About finding your breath when everything feels urgent. About choosing presence over panic\, connection over isolation\, and humanity over noise. \n\n​ \n\nSéan McCann is a singer\, songwriter\, and storyteller best known as a founding member of the iconic Canadian band Great Big Sea. Over the past decade\, his solo work has carved out a powerful and deeply personal path — one rooted in honesty\, recovery\, community\, and the belief that music is meant to be shared with\, not performed for audiences. \n\nHis live shows blend original material with beloved favourites\, inviting audiences to sing along\, reflect\, and reconnect with themselves and with one another. In his latest tour\, Sink or Swim — Singing Through the Noise\, McCann sings brave new songs alongside trusted classics to speak directly to the heaviness of our times. It’s a show about staying afloat in an increasingly noisy world\, finding breath when everything feels urgent\, and remembering that collective singing is both grounding and healing. Whether in churches\, theatres\, or community halls\, Séan McCann’s performances are less about spectacle and more about presence — creating spaces where people feel seen\, heard\, and a little less alone. \n\n​ \n\nCome as you are. Leave a little lighter. The choice is yours: Sink or Swim. \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/5CguBBfuUws?autoplay=0&mute=0&controls=1&loop=0&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.venablestheatre.ca&playsinline=1&enablejsapi=1&widgetid=1&forigin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.venablestheatre.ca%2Fsean-mccann&aoriginsup=1&gporigin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.venablestheatre.ca%2F&vf=6 \n\nTICKETS:Adults: $45Seniors & Students: $40\n\nBuy Tickets Here
