SUMMARY:Nelson Sketch Comedy Revue: Volume II
DESCRIPTION:After selling out the Capitol Theatre in November 2024 with the premiere of Nelson Sketch Comedy Revue\, we’re back—bigger\, bolder\, and weirder than ever. \nThis show is a love letter to the phrase “Keep Nelson Weird.” It’s a live show packed with fast-paced\, scripted comedy. Each scene is short\, sharp\, and completely original—written and performed by the cast. Expect the return of Nelson News Tonight—and if you don’t know what that is… well\, we won’t spoil it for you.  \nWhat audiences said about our last show: \n“That was such an amazing show! Maybe the best I’ve seen in Nelson\, honestly. Please do it again!”\n “I haven’t laughed that much in a long time.”\n “We loved it so so much and can’t wait to see the next show!”\n“PEOPLE IN THE BATHROOM CAN”T STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD THE SHOW IS!!!! AHHH!!!!!” \nThe Cast: \nJaymes Bowman \nMichelle Hart \nEmma Hill \nRuby Horton \nKait Hundt-Lippett \nRuth Krulitsky \nJonathan Ramos \n  \nWith special guest\, Jackie Atkins!  \n  \nDirected by Michelle Hart  \nThis 90-minute production\, including an intermission\, features mature content—parental discretion is advised. \nDue to the incredible response to our last show\, we’re thrilled to add a second performance! Don’t miss your chance to catch us at the Capitol Theatre on May 15 or May 27

DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Festival will take place May 17 to May 19\, 2025. \nWhether you’re new to Kaslo\, a long-time local\, or back for a visit over the Victoria Day long weekend\, Kaslo May Days feels like coming home. May Days—a celebration of the return of summer—has been part of the fabric of this community since 1892. Every year\, for three glorious\, fun-filled days\, the Kaslo & Area Chamber of Commerce serves as its proud host and steward. \nDuring May Days\, dozens of arts and crafts vendors set up booths at Vimy Park to sell their wares alongside artisan food producers\, craft beer\, and other gourmet treats. The park’s Gazebo becomes a stage for Music in the Park\, with a foot-tapping\, finger-snapping lineup of live music performances throughout the weekend. In keeping with tradition\, local children enact the Maypole Dance\, which just so happens to be the longest consecutive annual Maypole Dance in North America.  And it’s not just the park—during May Days\, the entire village of Kaslo is abuzz with events and activities. \nLogger Sports is a marquis May Days tradition in Kaslo\, and a spectator favourite. Competitors travel here from all over the continent to vie for prizes at this spirited two-day event\, which features competitions in Tree Climbing\, Log Rolling\, Axe Throwing\, and Springboard Chopping. If you’re new to May Days\, we can pretty much guarantee you’ve never seen anything like this before! \nShow ‘n’ Shine has been a part of May Days for more than 25 years. Typically held on Sunday\, hundreds of unique cars—from 1900s antiques to rare sports car icons like the AC Cobra—can be seen lining the streets of Kaslo’s historic downtown.

SUMMARY:Kaslo May Days Show and Shine
DESCRIPTION:The Kaslo Show and Shine was started by a small group of dedicated car buffs as a feature in the 1997 May Days celebrations held on the May long weekend every year. The inaugural event had approximately 15 vehicles on display and from that small beginning has been held every year since and has seen continuous growth to the point that in 2012 there were just under 100 registered cars covering the years from the 1930′s up to some exceedingly rare Mustangs from the 1960′s and 1970′s \nKaslo is a village of about 1000 people\, situated about an hours drive North of Nelson BC on the West Shore of Kootenay Lake and nestled between the Purcell mountains to the East and the Selkirk range to the West. For a small community Kaslo has an unusually high number of interesting and unique vehicles both in the village and in the surrounding area and has counted among its residents one of only two original Shelby Cobras licensed in BC amongst other interesting vehicles. \nOver the years the Show and Shine has began to attract cars from further afield and has seen cars from as far afield as Spokane\, Vancouver BC and the Prairie Provinces of Canada.

SUMMARY:Fireworks: Shifting Sound
DESCRIPTION:Fireworks: Shifting Sound\nA Mass Choir Experience Like No Other\nPresented by the Capitol Theatre | Directed by Allison Girvan \nNow in its 5th year\, Fireworks is a powerful\, one-of-a-kind community singing event that brings together hundreds of voices for a single\, breathtaking performance. Conceived and directed by beloved choral leader Allison Girvan and produced by the Capitol Theatre\, Fireworks celebrates the transformative power of collective singing. “Group singing has long been one of the fastest ways to cement community\,” says Girvan. “It’s incredibly moving to be able to share this experience again.” \nThe name Fireworks captures the essence of the event: brilliant\, intense\, and fleeting. While participants prepare individually in the weeks leading up to the performance\, the full group – this year over 325 singers strong – will meet together for the very first time on the day of the show. After a single rehearsal\, they will step into the echoing acoustics of the Nelson and District Community Complex to share their voices with the audience in one unforgettable half hour performance. \nThis year’s piece\, titled Shifting Sound\, reflects on change\, connection\, and diversity. Through a rich tapestry of perspectives\, voices\, and rhythms\, it reminds us that to sing together is to listen deeply\, breathe as one\, and create something far greater than ourselves. As the lyrics of one of the songs declares: “when you band together\, it’s a choir of thunder and rain – and now we have a choice\, because I have a voice.” Whether you’re a seasoned music lover or simply curious\, if you’ve never experienced a mass choir live – prepare to be swept away.\nThis show is supported by the BC Arts Council and Canadian Heritage. \nTickets $15
