  • Sleeping Beauty Panto

    Sid Williams Theatre
    Jenn's Picks

    This is Courtenay Little Theatre’s Panto. The costumes and set at last year’s show had me gobsmacked. I have no doubt this production will be good. Tickets

  • Winter with Matthew Krell

    Tidemark Theatre
    Jenn's Picks

    I bought tickets to this show purely because the event posting is just a guy holding a keytar. Matthew is an off-broadway actor now based in LA. Literally I know nothing other than, He plays keytar! Tickets

    Native Sons Hall
    Jenn's Picks

  • Petunia and the Vipers w/Spank Williams

    Waverley Hotel
    Jenn's Picks

    But if EDM or electropunk isn’t your jam and you’d prefer Hank Williams on acid, then The Waverley has a wonderful offering. It will be lots of folky fun too. Tickets
