OCTOBER, 2011

Thursday, October 27, 7:30 at the Roxy we present Charlie Major

He's more Mellencamp then Merle. His lyrics champion the 'Blue Collar Hero' in a manner that resonates of Springsteen and other roots rock legends, but it is in the country music format that Charlie Major finds his home.

Rising to the forefront of the Canadian Music scene in the early to mid-nineties, Charlie had a heyday at radio as he became the first Canadian artist in history to score six BDS #1 hits off of his debut album. Nine more chart topping hits would follow, and Charlie would crisscross the world headlining tours and connecting with his fans at fairs and festivals.

November, 2011

Thursday, November 24, 2011 at 7:30 in the Roxy Theater we present Heather Bishop

As one of the top selling independent artists in Canada, Bishop has pioneered the music industry both artistically and as an entrepreneur. With 13 albums - including four critically-acclaimed albums for children - and numerous awards under her belt, Bishop has performed for children in gymnasiums, for concert goers in front of symphony orchestras, and for folk festival audiences across the globe. Few artists have enjoyed a parallel success with both adult audiences and children, spanning generations as well as genres. Bishop’s career is a model for the independent sector of the Canadian music industry, whose artists and record labels are now responsible for more than 20% of all Canadian domestic sales.

"I have been continually struck by Heather's enthusiasm for life, her ability to energize and animate those around her, and her ability to affect positive change in the diverse communities that she occupies," says Sam Baardman, MARIA's executive director. "Heather has lived a big life. As an artist, an activist, and volunteer she has worked to enrich the lives of those around her locally, provincially, nationally and internationally in a variety of fields.

FEBRUARY, 2012

Friday, February 3, 7:30 AT THE ROXY:

Manitoba Theatre Centre presents :

Melville Boys

Dramatic comedy in two acts by Norm Foster , premiered at Theatre New Brunswick October, 1984.

It is not difficult to see why this play is so popular both with theatre companies and audiences. It has the right blend of comedy, character, plot and a touch of drama that comes dangerously close to (but never teeters into) melodrama.

Two working class brothers, one a big goof, the other a slightly more cerebral fellow (who is terminally ill) come to a woodsy cabin for a weekend. While there, they run into two sisters, one a silly wannabe actor, the other a more serious, intelligent lady. People pair up and the result is a story that is satisfying with some comic set pieces that are little gems (including a moment when the silly sister acts out her most famous commercial and, then, thinks, "I'm dying" is a pick-up line). The second act is much shorter and handles most of the dramatic weight of the work.

Though the characters could be dismissed as caricature, Foster offers genuine humanity in the writing and, indeed, sets out acting challenges for performers.

APRIL, 2012

Thursday, April 26, 7:30 at the Roxy we present Foothills Brass

Well into their third decade of entertaining audiences, the Foothills Brass Quintet leaves its stamp everywhere they go. Whether dazzling youngsters with high energy and interactive programs; or enlightening adults to the incredible versatility of the brass quintet, Foothills Brass never fails to deliver. Founded in 1981, the FBQ has the distinct privilege of being one of only a handful of chamber groups to maintain a full-time performance schedule since its inception. Foothills Brass presents up to 200 events each year in concert halls, universities, classrooms and cathedrals.
