All shows are at the Centre Wakefield LaPêche, 38 Valley Drive, Wakefield, Qc. Check out the schedule. Mainstage programming starts on Friday night (October 2nd) at 7:30, from Victoria BC, Ingrid Hansen performs in LITTLE ORANGE MAN. The award winning show is a dip into madness, puppets and laugh-out-loud humour. Saturday starts at 2pm with SPITFIRE DANCE a dramatic musical about the women who dared to fly in the time of Billy Bishop and the Wright Brothers. At 7 pm, WHO LOVES YA BABY? goes live. A group of actors improvise the story of an imaginary 1970’s crime movie as the soundtrack drives the action. This inventive collaboration between the Wakefield Improv Troupe led by Scott Hébert Daly and Greg Stone’s band Stone Age Man is anchored by Stone’s score. Will it fly or implode? Only time will tell. Then at 8:30 pm Infinithéâtre returns to town with LOST & FOUND in which bruised and skeptical folk singers Victor and Tricia take us on a musical journey, one in which love is lost and found again. Sunday October 4th at 3 pm the Theatre Morin Heights production of ENCORE takes us on a romantic and bittersweet trip through a 50 year marriage with humour and insight. Then at 4:30 pm award winning actor, Denise Mader performs THIS ONE and challenges us to make a pie from scratch and heal ourselves. Denise won Best Solo Performance in Toronto’s My Theatre World Festival. The whole weekend culminates in the amazing rap and contemporary dance fusion of THE MIDNIGHT BIRTH SHOW with All-Ever and Kim Henry. Really beyond description … check this out. Theatre Workshops in writing, voice and movement, Kid’s Art Camp and the felting of the Community Art piece with Hannah Ranger are scheduled on Saturday and Sunday afternoon, the 3rd and 4th of October.
