RIDE THE CYCLONE — 7:00PM, Nov 12, 13, 14 + 2:00PM Nov 14
RIDE THE CYCLONE,
NOV 12 - 14
A Hilarious, Dark Musical Where a Choir in Limbo Must Sing for Their Lives
Emerging avant-garde theatre company, the Wolfville Social Club is at it again, this time with their take on the wild, dark comedy musical, Ride the Cyclone. With music, book, and lyrics by Canadians Brooke Maxwell and Jacob Richmond, RTC opens with six recently deceased members of the St. Cassian Chamber Choir waking up in a surreal carnival purgatory where a mechanical fortune-teller forces them to compete for the ultimate prize: a ticket back to the land of the living. With a stellar score that spans space-age synth-pop, hip-hop, cabaret, and opera, each misfit student must in turn state their case in this genre-defying cult-classic favourite. Come with us on a deeply moving wild ride that is equal parts morbid and meaningful, heart-wrenching and hilarious, to discover what truly makes a life meaningful.
“Behind the bizarre, darkly comedic premise of this show lies a deeply heartwarming core,” says show director Jeremy Banks. “It reminds us that simply existing, experiencing the world, and extending kindness to others is enough. Audiences will leave not only being thoroughly entertained, but also with an overwhelming urge to appreciate the present moment.”
Don’t miss Ride the Cyclone at the Al Whittle Theatre in Wolfville, November 13th and 14th at 7 pm, and November 14th at 2 pm.

YES VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUSE
NOV 26 - 29
Pay What You Can NOV 25
Doors open at 6:30pm
"Dear Editor, is there a Santa Claus?"
- a question innocently asked by 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon.
Christmas was coming and all was right with the world ... until her friends mischievously fill her in on the "facts" about Old Saint Nick. Who could tell her the truth? Not her father, mother, or teacher. So Virginia writes a letter to the editor of The New York Sun, for her father always said, "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." Virginia's letter falls into the hands of Francis P. Church, a veteran editorial writer who knows he must answer, and must answer truthfully. And so he begins his reply, which becomes one of the most memorable and cherished editorials in newspaper history. A heartfelt Christmas story.

Bob Wiseman & Mike Boguski: 2 Pianos, No Rodeo (7:30PM)
Bob Wiseman is a founding member of Blue Rodeo. Punk pianist. Lo-fi provocateur. Think Monk meets Burroughs at a Toronto dive bar. Expect sound collage, biting satire, sonic left turns. Nothing’s off limits.
Mike Boguski is the current Blue Rodeo pianist. Ambient soul explorer. A master of restraint and reverie. Piano as landscape. Melody as memory. Quiet storms and cinematic swells. Musical cliff jumping.
Each artist takes the same piano and launches in opposite directions – solo, stripped down, wide open. One piano. Two deeply personal journeys. No safety net. No genre crutches. No rodeo.
Come for the clash of styles. Stay for the communion. This is piano as protest, as prayer or as whatever they feel that night.
Two Pianos, No Rodeo is for those who like their art live, unexpected and slightly dangerous. Think of it less like a show and more like two sonic postcards from different planets sent through the same grand piano.
