LA BOHÈME
Presented by Camrose Arts Council & OperaVision Sunday, December 1, 2:00 pm. Admission to this event is free. Donations are gratefully accepted. |
La bohème is based on Henry Murger’s novel Scenes de la vie de Bohème.
Four struggling bohemians – a poet, a painter, a musician and a philosopher are living together in Paris, when one freezing Christmas Eve their lives are changed forever. A girl named Mimì knocks on their door looking for a candle light, and she and Rodolfo fall in love. However, the rush of love at first sight soon gives way to something much darker – it becomes clear that Mimì is desperately ill, and that Rodolfo, in his poverty, cannot provide for her. Our bohemians try to find their way, but are soon sharply awoken to the harsh realities of life… Filmed at the Opera Orchestre National Montpellier Special Thanks to Camrose Arts Council and OperaVision |

Three sisters cannot resist meddling in their parent's quarrelsome marriage and devise an intervention in the form of a big family Christmas dinner, to the great annoyance of their husbands. What the grandparents suspect when they arrive is that the host couple must be having problems - so they go into intervention mode. Everyone is on their best behavior - the parents, husbands, the wives, even the kids - except for one mischievous granddaughter who seems to be trying to start fights. The party takes on more intrigue than a whole host of the murder mysteries that Churchmice usually performs at Christmas.
Do the crazy Christmas conflicts erupt into a family estranged or into a warm hearted, happy holiday finale? Churchmice is happy to partner again with the Spotlight Bistro to bring you an extraordinary dinner theatre experience. Ham, turkey and a traditional holiday meal buffet, including delectable desserts, awaits you. Perfect for family, friend or workplace parties. |

LUCY MACNEIL
Presented by The Bailey Theatre Society Saturday, March 15, 8:00 pm. Tickets $35 |
Lucy has been performing with the Barra MacNeils for 37 years. They come from a long tradition of Cape Breton music and dance that has been the foundation of creative pursuits over their musical career.
In 2015 Lucy was one of the artists in residence for the “Celtic Colours International Music Festival”. Here she was paired with Liz Doherty from Buncrana, Ireland to help select musicians and musical selections together for performances during the festival. It was a wonderful experience for both Lucy and the audiences who came to Celtic Colours and those that watched the online streaming shows. In 2014 and 2017 Lucy was a special guest with Symphony Nova Scotia for their Rita MacNeil tribute concert. Here she performed with conductor Scott MacMillan, Symphony Nova Scotia and The Men of the Deeps. During the pandemic which was a very quiet time for many Lucy started working on a solo album. Something she had wanted to do but the time never presented itself. She also felt in these uncertain times watching a world that was going through immense change and upheaval she wanted to leave something behind of herself and her lifetime attachment to traditional music and song. |
DAVID FRANCEY
Presented by The Bailey Theatre Society Friday, April 25, 7:00 pm. Tickets $40 |
David Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter, who has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star). Born in Ayrshire, Scotland to parents who were factory workers, he moved to Canada when he was twelve. For decades, he worked across Canada in rail yards, construction sites, and in the Yukon bush, all the while writing poetry, setting it to melodies in his head and singing it to himself as he worked.
A truly authentic folk singer, Francey is a documentarian of the working person who never imagined earning a living from his music. But when he was in his 40s, his wife, artist Beth Girdler, encouraged him to share his songs and sing in public. The reaction was instant. His first album Torn Screen Door came out in 1999 and was a hit in Canada. Since then, David has released thirteen albums, won four Juno Awards and has had his songs covered by such artists as The Del McCoury Band, The Rankin Family, James Keelaghan and Tracy Grammer. |

Howard and David continue to prove that the trail they’ve ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself—music that is now celebrating over 40 years of success.
The road that started on the pop music charts in the ‘70’s, took a winding turn into country music in the ‘80’s, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich and previously—The Judds. But before the road forked into country, the musical odyssey of brothers Bellamy started creatively smoldering in their home state of Florida, before exploding nationally amidst the ’70’s pop music culture of L.A. The brothers first official gig was in 1968, playing a free show with their father at the Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio, Florida. They honed their early skills playing Black clubs throughout the south, and singing backup for artists such as Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd and Little Anthony & The Imperials. Within a few months, the brothers moved north, immersing themselves and their rock/country sound in the Atlanta market, where the Allman Brothers were the emerging kings of the music world. |
