Broadway hits return to The Grove Stage with Heather’s Garden Variety: Clover
Tight friendships and tight harmonies. Theatre performers and friends, Heather McGuigan, Jade Repeta and Alexis Gordon explore a wide range of music from Broadway to the Rankins in this joyful concert. Each has a long and celebrated career across Canada and this intimate and personal concert is a unique way to meet some stars of the Canadian Stage.
Blues and bops with Crystal Shawanda at The Grove Theatre
“The songs just fell out of me and throughout the recording it was like setting my voice free,” she says. “I can’t help but feel like I’m home, no longer holding back.”
Crystal’s album Church House Blues is a modern take on the blues, but is deeply rooted with heart-wrenching laments and catchy rump-shakers. It’s where the north meets the south and captures the resilience of the human spirit — much like the way Crystal does.
Join us on Friday, August 27, at 7:30 PM to catch this dynamic, soulful performer in her element!
Family Fun Day: The Greg Tarlin Juggling Show and Storywalk!
Saturday, August 28, at 4:00 PM we have a show that is perfect for families with young children!
An energetic, light-hearted comedy variety show suitable for all ages. There's lots of audience interaction and lots of laughs for everyone. Greg has performed variations of this show for hundreds of audiences over many years around the globe!
and
A storywalk is where pages of a children's book are posted on large yard signs stationed around a trail. This is a fun and educational activity that pairs literacy with physical activity and
encourages families to get outside. Join us at The Grove for an adventure with “Over in the Forest” by Marianne Berkes. Presented by the Kawartha Lakes Public Library.
Dance in The Grove: Two amazing dance acts in one night!
Prepare to be swept off your feet by two artistic dance performances on Saturday, August 28 at 7:30 PM featuring Bill Coleman and Co. as well as Toronto’s Dance Fachin!
“Coleman’s work has transcended traditional theatrical settings to include mountain tops, rainforests, prairies and urban construction sites. He has created a bold collection of large-scale, site-specific works, collaborating with diverse groups including WWII veterans, Aboriginal communities, fishing villages, ranching towns and urban neighbourhoods.”
“Dance Fachin aims to create shows with a dance narrative, wherein dance becomes the primary vehicle with which to tell a story. Dance Fachin, under the direction of Emma Bartolomucci, incorporates dynamic music that engages the audience, making technical dance a more accessible art form for mainstream patrons. The company’s mission is to tell stories from different cultural perspectives, expanding global and societal views through the medium of dance.”
