7. Behind the Songs
Behind the Songs is a monthly concert series that features Canadian songwriters in a songwriters circle format. We take songwriters from various backgrounds, put them on stage, and encourage them to share with the audience their songs, the stories behind their work, and a bit about their writing process. This intimate format enables the audience to feel closer to the songwriters and to learn more about them and their creative process. You don’t have to be a songwriter to enjoy this, as long as you enjoy music, this event is for you!
8. Florian Hoefner Group with Seamus Blake
Live Jazz.
III. Theatre & Performing Arts
1. The Hound of the Baskervilles
Mystery, mayhem and madcap comedy ensue when Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson attempt to solve the ancient curse of the Baskervilles. After receiving a warning not to enter his newly inherited manor, Henry Baskerville enlists the help of the infamous duo, but this may be one mystery that is far from elementary. This slapstick comedy spoof of the most famous Sherlock Holmes case will have you in hysterics.

4. Jeremy Hotz
Fighting his way across the frozen tundra and battling the evil elements, Jeremy Hotz will pit his wits against the harsh Canadian winter with his all-new stand-up show, Jeremy Hotz: International Man of Misery.
