SUMMARY:The Arrogant Worms - Performance
DESCRIPTION:The Arrogant Worms have spent over three decades making fun of a big dumb world. Their songs have been played on the radio\, the internet\, and in outer space (on the space shuttle Endeavour). The Worms began at Queen’s University in 1991 when some members of the student cabaret group\, The Queen’s Players\, started writing songs and sketches for the campus radio station CFRC. \nTheir song\, The Last Saskatchewan Pirate\, has been covered by bands such as Captain Tractor and The Longest Johns\, and their Happy Happy Birthday song is a viral sensation with over one hundred million views of the various fan videos on YouTube. More than thirty years after they began\, The Arrogant Worms continue to provide tuneful and silly escapism for everyone who needs it.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Josh Ritter Performance
DESCRIPTION:For more than two decades\, Josh Ritter\, has been heralded as one of the most preeminent voices in American songwriting – a masterful storyteller whose work blurs the boundaries between folk\, rock\, and Americana. Since the release of his self-titled debut in 1999\, Ritter has issued over a dozen widely acclaimed albums. Including: The Animal Years\, So Runs the World Away\, Fever Breaks (produced by Jason Isbell)\, and Spektral Lines. Each showcasing his signature blend of poetic lyricism and emotional insight. His latest album\, I Believe in You\, My Honeydew\, is released in September 2025 and will be supported by an extensive national tour. \nAlongside music\, Ritter has published two acclaimed novels – Bright’s Passage (2011) and The Great Glorious Goddamn of it All (2021). Both praised for their expressive prose and further establishing him as a singular storyteller in American fiction. His work has resonated with audiences\, peers and legends alike – Bob Dylan has performed his work live – and he’s collaborated closely with artists including Bob Weir and Joan Baez. Whether on the page or the stage\, Ritter continues to shape the landscape of American storytelling with uncommon grace and imagination.

SUMMARY:Ballet Étoile presents ‘Cleopatra’ Performance

A legend even in her own time\, Cleopatra’s legacy is timeless. \nPremiered in 2015 to audience acclaim\, Ballet Étoile’s ‘Cleopatra’ brings the opulence\, intrigue and drama of the ancient world to life. ‘Cleopatra’ dazzles with rich costumes\, virtuosic dances and highlights Ballet Étoile’s skill of engaging storytelling. \nA woman of great courage and intelligence Cleopatra is a loving mother\, a powerful warrior Queen\, and a living Goddess.

SUMMARY:Danny Michel Performance
DESCRIPTION:The only good thing about not shopping in record stores like we used to is that you don’t have to figure out what genre to look for Danny under. If that were the case\, you could try searching under rock\, pop\, folk\, world\, or even classical. His own self-described musical A.D.D. has kept his music fresh for decades. \nMaybe it has something to do with being born next to a candy factory\, but his thoughtful lyrics and charming performances have earned him a devoted fan base\, multiple Juno nominations\, Polaris Prize nominations\, CBC’s Heart of Gold award\, and wins for the CFMA’s Producer of the Year and Oliver Schroder Pushing the Boundaries awards. \nHis adventurous musical spirit has led him on unique journeys\, from recording and touring with The Garifuna Collective (from Belize) to recording an album aboard a Soviet-era icebreaker in the Arctic while on an expedition with astronaut Chris Hadfield. Albums like Matadora and Khlebnikov explore themes of human connection\, the environment\, and the cosmos. \nBeyond music\, Danny is passionate about social causes. He founded the DM Ocean Academy Fund to support a non-profit high school in Belize. His charm\, creative performances\, and wide-ranging interests have made him a beloved figure not only in music but also in charitable and environmental circles. This has led to unique performances\, including playing at Jane Goodall’s 85th birthday\, David Suzuki’s 75th\, and touring with Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Cafe. \nHis latest album\, Ghost Town\, is a deeply personal and vulnerable collection of songs born from the pandemic\, showcasing his most introspective work to date.
