Help! is the definitive Beatles Live Experience, and is by far the most popular Beatles tribute act in Canada. Founded in 1999, the group has performed more than 850 shows on multiple continents, including concert events at casinos, concert halls and theatres in Canada, the Caribbean, USA, St. Maarten, Panama and Mexico. Their marquee appearances include performing shows at the Bell Centre (Montreal), Place des Art, La Maison Symphonic, the Montreal F1 Grand Prix, and for corporate clients such as Pratt & Whitney, Merck, Ernst and Young and Bombardier.

The Beatles repertoire attracts an audience from multiple generations of Beatles fans, most of whom know the songs and the lyrics and sing-a-long throughout the show.

The fab four members of HELP! pay close attention to detail; the tone of the voices, stunning three-part harmonies, the exact guitar, drum, keyboard and left-handed bass parts, the custom tailored grey and black suits, the Sgt-Pepper and Abbey Road outfits, the hair, the instruments – It all has to look and sound as Beatle-like as possible.

The HELP! Show is guaranteed to ensure that everyone in the audience has a fantastic time, and goes home feeling like they’ve lived that “Beatles in concert” experience. Audiences are usually on their feet dancing and singing along, and leave the event with lasting memories!

Godspell
Presented By The 8th Avenue Players

Each of us goes through periods of pain and suffering. What if one man wanted to help us see how beautiful life could be and what if that one man was punished for trying to do just that? Godspell is the story of that one man. Godspell has received many awards, including Broadway.com’s favourite musical revival in 2012. The 1972 Toronto production launched the careers of many actors, including Victor Garber, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Gilda Radner, Dave Thomas, Martin Short, and the show’s musical director, Paul Shaffer.
In 1977, Godspell won the Tony nomination for Best Original Score. The song “Day by Day” reached number seven on the Canadian Billboard charts in Canada. The 2024 film Wicked, written by Godspell composer, Stephen Schwartz has grossed over $697 million worldwide. It is the highest-grossing musical film adaptation ever. Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God, and Atheists don’t believe in God at all, but most people know someone who has tried to change the world for the better and was persecuted for it. Godspell is the story of one of those people.
The 8th Avenue Players is a new musical theatre group dedicated to the performance of high quality musical theatre using professional actors and musicians.

**We are in the process of adding the May 3 and 4 shows – please check back shortly.**
Lovesick and desperate, sculptor Brinsley Miller has borrowed expensive furniture from the absent antique collector next-door, hoping to impress his fiance‘s father and a wealthy art dealer. The fussy neighbour returns just as a blown fuse plunges the apartment into darkness. In this fast-paced farce, the usual conditions of light and dark are reversed: when the lights are on, we see nothing but darkness; when they are off, we see the characters behaving as if they were in a blackout. Will the unexpected guests, aging spinsters, tangled phone cords, and other snares prevent Brinsley‘s frantic attempts to return the borrowed items before light is restored?
Join us for an exceptional night of theatre!

Highland Storm 2025 for Christmas – An EXCELLENT Gift Idea!
Highland Storm – an exhilarating evening of Celtic music and dance that will captivate the audience with stunning displays of the Highland and step dancers and breathtaking sounds from the pipes and drums. Combine that with the haunting melodies of beautiful traditional songs and the consuming fire of the fiddle, this will be a moving authentic experience.
The audience will be transported to a pivotal time in PEI over 250 years ago, when 3 ships; the Annabella, the Edinburgh and the Falmouth, arrived having carried families from their homeland in Scotland to a new land with little more than the clothes on their backs.
Imagine arriving on these shores in the bleak autumn, having to clear land, cut wood and build a home in order to survive the unforgiving winters of PEI. What would that first year be like?
The story of the Scots arriving on PEI will be performed by The College of Piping’s instructors and students and featuring fiddler Gilbert Arsenault and vocalist Christine Gallant. Highland Storm is directed by Peter Gallant.
Prepare to sit tight and hold on…there’s a Storm coming!
