The Moose Jaw

Live Out Loud
Theatre
present
In 2008 The
Moose Jaw Cultural Centre produced an original musical called River Street
which ran to enthusiastic reviews and eventually sold out audiences. In
2009, the four leads of River Street return in a new production called Ain't
We Got Fun...A River Street Revue. Ain't We Got Fun is a
vaudeville style revue of favorites from last season's River
Street plus tons of other chart topping hits of the 1920's. All this
music will be interspersed with vaudeville sketches, hilarious audience
participation, tap dancing, juggling and more! This show promises
to be a high energy, comedic adventure that is fun for all ages.
The cast
includes Stella Salido Porter, Daniel Williston, Leon Willey and Krista
J. Konkin all returning from last season's River Street with special
guest Caitlin Hayes on piano. Ain't We Got Fun is written,
directed/choreographed by Krista J. Konkin of Live Out Loud Theatre.
The show runs from June 26th until July 25th on Friday and Saturday
nights and Aug. 1st and 2nd (Sat. at 8 pm and Sunday at 2pm. )

Show
Fred Eaglesmith
FRED EAGLESMITH WINS MORE RAVE REVIEWS &
ACCLAIM FOR
HIS ALBUM TINDERBOX
Comparisons to Other Esteemed Artists Continue
for Roots Music Hero
Stunning
Live Show comes to Moose Jaw!
(Los Angeles) “If you’re
missing out on [Fred] Eaglesmith… you’re really missing out,” says The
New Yorker. The award-winning singer-songwriter has had his songs
covered by Toby Keith, Cowboy Junkies, Kasey Chambers, Ralph Stanley
II, Todd Snider and Dar Williams, among others, and featured in films
by Martin Scorsese and James Caan. And his latest and 17th album, Tinderbox,
continues to garner critical praise as “a ghostly masterpiece” (Calgary
Herald) and “one of the most compelling roots-rock albums in recent
memory” (Slant magazine).
Already
heralded as a “masterwork” (Philadelphia Inquirer),
“exceptional” (Americana Roots), and “beautiful” (Ink 19),
Tinderbox elicits the sort of comparisons to revered musical
artists that have already been a hallmark of Eaglesmith’s career.
“Imagine a duet record from Tom Waits and Woody Guthrie,” says The
New Yorker, while the Calgary Herald hails it as “a
deep, sad and masterful album that transcends genre and time. It is Tom
Waits meets Pink Floyd meets Hank Williams.” Australia’s Rave magazine
observes how “Tinderbox shows that he’s still on top of his
game, delivering simple yet effective lyrics in a Springsteen-esque
voice, backed by a ragged, expressionistic folk sound — the effect
sometimes resembles the Boss singing lead for Tom Waits’ band.”
In live performance,
Eaglesmith brings to mind both Neil Young’s raucous splendor with Crazy
Horse and the tender beauty of Young’s acoustic numbers. He crosses
America with his band in the early months of 2009 after hosting his
Roots on the Rails Polar Bear Train rolling music festival (with guests
Gurf Morlix, Jon Dee Graham and Audrey Auld with Andrew Hardin) into
the Canadian arctic in early November and a year-end tour of Holland,
Belgium and Great Britain.
Tinderbox is an “alternative gospel” album that Rave describes
as “a magnificent opus” and a “superb blend of organic gospel, blues
and country with maverick-spirited experimentation and reinvention.” Slant
rates it as “the finest, most thematically rich album of his career”
that “finds Eaglesmith at his gritty, straightforward best. As an
exploration of why people often turn to religion during difficult times
and how that religion often fails in those circumstances, Tinderbox
is an album of nearly limitless depth.”
“It’s the kind of record
you make and then just hold your breath when you put it out,” says
Eaglesmith of addressing the often hot-button issue of religion and
faith. “It is risky. We worked on it for a long time in my little dark
studio. Then when it came out and was this well-received, it was ‘thank
goodness.’”
For as the Houston
Press observes, “Tinderbox is very much a document of this
moment in time, a journal of spiritual crisis yet renewed humanity…
[It’s] Eaglesmith at his most down-to-earth magical and, paradoxically,
his most magically down-to-earth.”
“Ever heard an album
where your jaw drops on first listen, then keeps sounding even better
with every spin? Tinderbox is one such record,” raves Exclaim!
“It’s his most adventurous and accomplished work yet, and how many
artists now on their 17th record can you say that about? It’s hard to
imagine a better roots-based record coming out this year.”
A chorus of critics
agrees with Lone Star Music magazine that it’s “one of his most
important CDs to date. Tinderbox, from start to finish, from the
lyrical quality to the production, is just plain ingenious.”

Hurry Hard!
Musical
Theatre Presented by Applause Theatre – Life in a small town is
routine, so it's not surprising that when Joey heard about a cash prize
curling bonspiel, he quickly rallied the troops to break the everyday
cycle of running the local gas station and restaurant. There were only a
few small problems; they were a man short, they didn't have the entry
fee and curling was a bit tougher than they thought. Join Joey and his
rag tag group of curling misfits on a jolly journey through the world
of corner guards, draws, and double takeouts.
This
fresh original show features music from the 70s, 80s & 90s from the
likes of the Village People, Great Big Sea, Donna Summer (and Vanilla
Ice???) So get out your slider and broom, line yourself up in the hack and
draw yourself right into the 4 foot. This show will "Hammer"
it into the house!

with
Jeffrey Allan
Sawatzky
Evie Koop
and
Friends
Jeffrey Allan Sawatzky
born and
raised in Saskatchewan, Canada. He received his formal vocal training in
Winnipeg, MB and Toronto, ON. Jeff has performed across Canada with a
variety of choral and vocal groups in venues such as the Roy Thompson
Hall in Toronto, Centre in the Square in Kitchener-Waterloo, Centennial
Concert Hall in Winnipeg and the Conexus Arts Centre in Regina. He has
been very active entertaining hometown crowds, performing various roles
with musical and theatre groups. As a lifelong Rider fan, Jeff is proud
to be the official national anthem singer for the Saskatchewan
Roughriders. Jeff is pleased to announce the release of his first
CD, Fields of Gold a collection of original romantic ballads and
inspirational classics. His genuine belief that song is truly meant to
touch people is what is at the heart of his performances.
Evie Koop,
is so pleased to be
returning to the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre for the 4th summer! Some
favourite roles have included Anne - with an E (Anne of Green Gables),
Christine Daae (Phantom), Belle (Beauty and the Beast),
Fanny Filburt (The Saints of Crooked Creek) and Babette
(Beauty and the Beast with The Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon).
Recently, she won the 2009 SGI Canada RSO
Symphony Singing Star competition and is looking forward to performing
with the Regina Symphony Orchestra on December 5th, 2009. She
has studied in New York, Winnipeg, Caronport and currently is studying
voice with Marjorie Sparks & Brahm Goldhamer
and ballet/jazz at School of Atelier
Ballet in
Toronto. Evie is passionate about storytelling through music,
drama, and dance — this summer, she is excited to work with young
artists in Blast to the
Past (a RuBarb productions
theatre school in a day camp format). "There is nothing like a dream
to create the future" (Victor
Hugo) and there is nothing quite
like inspiring our future to dream. Thank-you to the whole
RuBarb Productions
team, Jeff Sawatzky, and each one of our audience members and sponsors.
